Abstract

This special section on self-care introduces a research perspective sensitive to aspects of caring for self and other that are core to sociogenesis. We start with critical post-humanist research that highlights how bondaries between self and other get blurred in the context of caring. This is also demonstrated by ethno- and evolutionary biological research that leaves unmentioned the selfish gene and, instead, foregrounds the socially relevant in humans and primates. The focus throughout this research project into self-care, which goes beyond disciplinary boundaries, is on socio-ecologically comprehended selves.

介绍护理和自我护理的医学人类学。

这个关于自我照顾的特殊部分介绍了一个敏感的研究视角，以照顾自我和他人，这是社会发生的核心。我们从批判性的后人文主义研究开始，该研究强调了在关怀的背景下，自我和他人之间的界限是如何模糊的。人种和进化生物学的研究也证明了这一点，这些研究没有提到自私的基因，而是强调了人类和灵长类动物的社会相关性。整个研究项目的重点是自我护理，这超越了学科界限，是社会生态学上理解的自我。

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.
