Abstract

Signs of child maltreatment may be physical and detectable by clinical examination but may also arise as a feeling of strangeness that sparks uncertainty. Based on fieldwork in Danish general practice, and thinking along recent discussions around semiotics and affect, the article explores how feelings of "strangeness" arise in child consultations. It focuses on how subjective, embodied, and interpersonal reactions arise, how signs, however tactile and arbitrary, are felt and experienced, and how engaging with affective aspects when doing diagnosis, could expand the medical semiotics of child maltreatment.

转向情感：丹麦虐待儿童的医学符号学。

虐待儿童的迹象可能是身体上的，可以通过临床检查发现，但也可能是一种引发不确定性的陌生感。本文以丹麦全科医生的实地调查为基础，并根据最近关于符号学和情感的讨论，探讨了 "陌生感 "是如何在儿童咨询中产生的。文章重点探讨了主观、体现和人际反应是如何产生的，标志（无论多么触觉和随意）是如何被感受和体验的，以及在进行诊断时如何将情感因素纳入其中，从而拓展儿童虐待的医学符号学。

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.
