Abstract

Rhetorical ecological approaches, which posit that messages exist not as isolated entities but instead in the relations of a dynamic network, offer a valuable lens for examining the discursive construction of health-related risk. Drawing from interview data (n = 50) exploring maternal vaccine refusal, this article expands upon these frameworks to trace how intertextual, synchronous messages - particularly those associated with prenatal and infant nutrition - influence mothers' understanding about early childhood vaccine-related risk. Ultimately, I propose the notion of a risk ecology - a network of intertextual messages which shape and constrain sense-making about risk as it emerges within a particular moment and biosocial community.

"我不明白这两件事是如何联系在一起的"：风险生态理论》。

修辞生态学方法认为，信息不是作为孤立的实体存在，而是存在于动态网络的关系中，这为研究与健康相关风险的话语建构提供了一个宝贵的视角。本文从探讨母亲拒绝接种疫苗问题的访谈数据（n = 50）出发，在这些框架的基础上进一步追溯互文同步信息--尤其是那些与产前和婴儿营养相关的信息--是如何影响母亲们对儿童早期疫苗相关风险的理解的。最终，我提出了 "风险生态"（risk ecology）的概念--这是一个互文信息网络，它塑造并限制了在特定时刻和生物社会群体中出现的风险意识。
