Abstract

Personhood is alternatively accepted as something that is innate in individuals or subject to processes of attribution that rely on the existence of specific capacities. Taking Ian Hacking's discussion of "dynamic nominalism" as a point of departure, I focus on how the categorization of difference makes "people" into a "person" or not, in relation to the legitimacy of their needs and desires. To explicate, I turn to Lorna Rhodes' Total Confinement and Neely Myers' Recovery's Edge and demonstrate how ideas of personhood's innateness or attributability reify conceptions of need and desire, particularly associated with experiences of mental disorder and psychosis.

另一种观点认为人格是个人与生俱来的，或者受制于依赖于特定能力存在的归因过程。以Ian Hacking关于“动态唯名论”的讨论为出发点，我关注差异的分类如何使“人”成为“人”或不是“人”，这与他们的需求和欲望的合法性有关。为了解释这一点，我参考了洛娜·罗兹的《完全禁闭》和尼莉·迈尔斯的《恢复的边缘》，并展示了人格的先天性或归因性是如何具体化需求和欲望的概念的，尤其是与精神障碍和精神病的经历有关的概念。

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.
