项目摘要
Under the supervision of Dr. Carolyn Sargent, graduate student Lauren Gulbas will investigate the social effects of the increasing practice of cosmetic surgery in Caracas, Venezuela. Cosmetic surgery is increasing in many developing nations. Venezuelan society exhibits a particularly clear tension between the aesthetic and class priority given to lighter skin and European physical features, and official government policies that promote racial democracy, forbid the collection of racial data in the census, and prohibit discrimination on the basis of race. Because cosmetic surgery is available to all Venezuelans through free national health care, a careful scientific study can reveal how ordinary people live racial preferences, and how these preferences intersect with cultural notions of gender and class.Participation in the research will be solicited from community members and individuals associated with four randomly chosen surgery clinics and a teaching hospital. To elicit initial information about local conceptions of race and class, a domain analysis will be done with a stratified sample of 10 women and 10 men. This will be followed with surveys of a clinic sample of 135 (90 women, 45 men, reflecting gender ratios of those undergoing surgery) and a control group of 135 members of the community. Sub-samples of key informants will be interviewed in greater depth for free lists (to explore definitions associated with race and class) and about racial and class categories. In addition, she will collect 30 patient before-and-after-surgery narratives, using photo elicitation techniques and standard body image evaluations. Finally, she will do extensive observations of interactions between patients, family members, and medical personnel, as well as track relevant discussions in the media. Data will be analyzed with appropriate methods for systematic qualitative research (for the free-lists and rank order data) and computer coded text analysis techniques for the documents, field notes, patient narratives, body image interviews and life histories.The research is important as a contribution to understanding the consequences of privileging cosmetic surgery over other pressing health concerns. Theoretically, the research will contribute to scientific understanding of how cultural notions of race, gender, and class interact with popular notions of good health and appearance. The research also will contribute to the education of a graduate student.
在卡罗琳·萨金特博士的监督下,研究生劳伦·古尔巴斯将调查委内瑞拉加拉加斯整容手术日益增多的社会影响。在许多发展中国家,整容手术正在增加。委内瑞拉社会表现出一种特别明显的紧张关系,一方面是对浅色皮肤和欧洲人身体特征的审美和阶级优先,另一方面是促进种族民主、禁止在人口普查中收集种族数据和禁止种族歧视的官方政府政策。由于所有委内瑞拉人都可以通过免费的国家医疗保健进行整容手术,因此一项仔细的科学研究可以揭示普通人如何生活在种族偏好中,以及这些偏好如何与性别和阶级的文化观念交叉。研究将从随机选择的四家外科诊所和一家教学医院的社区成员和个人中征求参与者。为了获得有关当地种族和阶级概念的初步信息,将对10名女性和10名男性的分层样本进行领域分析。随后将对135名诊所样本(90名妇女,45名男子,反映了接受手术者的性别比例)和135名社区成员的对照组进行调查。将对关键举报人的子样本进行更深入的访谈,以获得自由名单(探索与种族和阶级相关的定义)以及种族和阶级类别。此外,她将收集30名患者术前和术后的叙述,使用照片诱导技术和标准的身体形象评价。最后,她将广泛观察患者、家属和医务人员之间的互动,并跟踪媒体的相关讨论。将采用适当的方法对数据进行系统的定性研究(自由列表和等级顺序数据)和计算机编码的文本分析技术,对文件,现场记录,患者叙述,身体形象访谈和生活history.The研究是重要的,因为它有助于理解整容手术对其他紧迫的健康问题的影响。从理论上讲,这项研究将有助于科学地理解种族、性别和阶级的文化观念如何与健康和外表的流行观念相互作用。本研究也将有助于研究生的教育。
