Abstract

In an era of increasing calls for responsible environmental stewardship within health research and care, the concept of environmentality is a productive vehicle to theorise, analyse and critique the changing trends of environmental governance. Despite the usefulness of this approach, little to no literature has explored how this concept could apply to the health sector. In this paper, we examine three examples of emerging environmental governance in the health sector to illustrate and consider the usefulness of the environmentality lens. We show how environmentality provides a framework to interrogate different forms of governance and, in particular, how specific modes of environmental governance gain traction such that different types of knowledge/power (relations) are produced. We argue that using this analytical framework can draw attention to the regimes, techniques and technologies that are beginning to shape the forms of knowledge that are gaining power in health sector environmental management and can contribute to a better understanding of fields of environmental knowledge/power (in)visibility.

处理卫生部门的环境危害:以环境为视角暴露(被忽视的)知识/权力场所。
在一个越来越要求在卫生研究和护理中进行负责任的环境管理的时代,环境概念是一种富有成效的工具,可以对环境治理的变化趋势进行理论化、分析和批评。尽管这种方法很有用,但几乎没有文献探讨如何将这一概念应用于卫生部门。在本文中,我们研究了卫生部门新兴环境治理的三个例子,以说明和考虑环境视角的有用性。我们展示了环境如何提供一个框架来质疑不同形式的治理,特别是环境治理的特定模式如何获得吸引力,从而产生不同类型的知识/权力(关系)。我们认为,使用这一分析框架可以使人们注意到正在开始塑造在卫生部门环境管理中日益强大的知识形式的制度、技术和技术,并有助于更好地理解环境知识/权力可见性领域。
