项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): I am writing a cultural history of diabetes that examines the stories professional and popular writers in the United States have been telling for over a century about who gets diabetes and why. These stories have much to do with beliefs about race, class, heredity, and disease. At the turn of the last century, professional and popular writers alike considered diabetes to be a disease of the middle classes and of Jews in particular. Since the 1980s, the populations most at risk have been identified as Native American, African American, Hispanic/Latino, and the poor. This project charts the changing "face" of diabetes over the course of the century, while examining how cultural stereotypes about particular populations became embedded in allegedly neutral statements about differential susceptibilities to diabetes. Several excellent histories of diabetes exist that elucidate the scientific work leading up to the discovery of insulin, the complex and intricate battles behind the discovery of this Nobel Prize winning drug, and the impact of insulin on the control and management primarily of type 1 diabetes. My project's greatest innovations are to study the history of all forms of diabetes (not just type 1), and to bring the history of diabetes into conversation with scholarship on race, class, and disease. To get at the variety of meanings that have been ascribed to this disease over the course of the 20th century, I have examined an eclectic array of sources, including scientific and medical books and journal articles; newspaper accounts and magazine articles; patient records; archival collections of physicians and diabetics; songs; poems; memoirs; and films. The health relatedness of this project rests in its contribution to understanding one of the most serious public health problems of the 21st century. It seeks in particular to help in developing new and important theoretical frameworks for understanding the pathophysiology of societal inequalities. The anticipated final products include a book, several journal articles, and presentations at conferences.

描述(由申请人提供)：我正在写一部糖尿病的文化史，研究美国专业和流行作家一个多世纪以来一直在讲述的关于谁患糖尿病及其原因的故事。这些故事与关于种族、阶级、遗传和疾病的信仰有很大关系。在上个世纪之交，专业作家和通俗作家都认为糖尿病是中产阶级的疾病，特别是犹太人的疾病。自20世纪80年代以来，最危险的人群被确定为美洲原住民、非裔美国人、西班牙裔/拉丁裔和穷人。这个项目描绘了糖尿病在一个世纪中不断变化的“面孔”，同时研究了关于特定人群的文化刻板印象如何嵌入到所谓的关于糖尿病不同易感性的中性声明中。有几个优秀的糖尿病史，阐明了导致胰岛素发现的科学工作，这种诺贝尔奖获得者药物发现背后的复杂和错综复杂的斗争，以及胰岛素对主要是1型糖尿病控制和管理的影响。我的项目最大的创新是研究所有形式的糖尿病的历史(不仅仅是1型)，并将糖尿病的历史与关于种族、阶级和疾病的学术对话。为了了解这种疾病在20世纪期间被赋予的各种含义，我查阅了各种各样的资料，包括科学和医学书籍和期刊文章；报纸报道和杂志文章；病人记录；医生和糖尿病患者的档案收藏；歌曲；诗歌；回忆录和电影。该项目与健康的相关性在于它有助于理解21世纪最严重的公共卫生问题之一。它尤其寻求帮助发展新的和重要的理论框架，以了解社会不平等的病理生理学。预期的最终产品包括一本书，几篇期刊文章，以及在会议上的演讲。
