Abstract

This special issue explores the evolving landscape of medical semiotics of conventional biomedicine. With expansion we refer to the range of phenomena considered signs or symptoms of underlying disease, but also the growing anthropological attention to the medical sign system in ways which reach beyond classic semiotic analysis. The articles testify to the expansion in terms of empirical foci and theoretical contributions. As part of the introduction, we discuss three modes of reading symptoms within medical anthropology: the hermeneutic, material, and critical readings, all highlighting the crucial role of medical anthropology in understanding the biosocial and cultural dimensions of medical semiotics.

拓展医学符号学。

本特刊探讨了传统生物医学的医学符号学的演变。我们所指的扩展不仅指被认为是潜在疾病的征兆或症状的现象范围，还包括人类学对医学符号系统的日益关注，其方式超越了经典的符号学分析。这些文章从经验重点和理论贡献方面证明了这一扩展。作为引言的一部分，我们讨论了医学人类学中解读症状的三种模式：诠释学解读、材料解读和批判性解读，所有这些都突出了医学人类学在理解医学符号学的生物社会和文化维度方面的关键作用。

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.
