Abstract

I outline the interplay between biological and socio-cultural dimensions of immunity and risk in the context of migration from Afghanistan to Sweden during the COVID-19 pandemic. Documenting my interlocutors' responses to everyday situations, I explore the challenges they face in a new society. Their references to immunity reveal ideas about bodily and biological functions, as well as sociocultural aspects of risk and immunity as fluid concepts. Understanding how different groups manage risk, practice care, and perceive immunity requires attention to the circumstances that surround individual and communal experiences of care practices. I reveal their perceptions, hopes, concerns, and strategies for immunization against the real risks they encounter.

重新思考免疫:瑞典风险和移民的人种志。

我概述了在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间从阿富汗向瑞典移民的背景下，免疫和风险的生物和社会文化层面之间的相互作用。通过记录对话者对日常情况的反应，我探索了他们在新社会中面临的挑战。他们对免疫的提及揭示了关于身体和生物功能的想法，以及风险和免疫作为流动概念的社会文化方面的想法。了解不同群体如何管理风险、实践护理和感知免疫力，需要关注围绕个人和社区护理实践经验的环境。我揭示了他们的看法、希望、关切和针对他们遇到的实际风险的免疫策略。

期刊介绍： Medical Anthropology provides a global forum for scholarly articles on the social patterns of ill-health and disease transmission, and experiences of and knowledge about health, illness and wellbeing. These include the nature, organization and movement of peoples, technologies and treatments, and how inequalities pattern access to these. Articles published in the journal showcase the theoretical sophistication, methodological soundness and ethnographic richness of contemporary medical anthropology. Through the publication of empirical articles and editorials, we encourage our authors and readers to engage critically with the key debates of our time. Medical Anthropology invites manuscripts on a wide range of topics, reflecting the diversity and the expanding interests and concerns of researchers in the field.
