Abstract

This article examines the shape of care and value through an ethnographic study of an intensive, temporary housing intervention for people experiencing homelessness in San Francisco, California, during the COVID-19 pandemic. Building on a new anthropological theory of value, the results highlight the slipperiness between surveillance and care, and how value may be produced or diminished in specific, embodied ways through respite, space, privacy, and dignity. This article troubles the concept of the social "safety net," suggesting instead that high-quality and even costly initial public investments for the poor generate public value.

超越安全网价值：为无家可归者提供的旅游酒店房间。

本文通过对2019冠状病毒病大流行期间加利福尼亚州旧金山无家可归者的密集临时住房干预的民族志研究，探讨了关怀的形态和价值。基于一种新的价值人类学理论，研究结果强调了监视和照顾之间的不稳定性，以及价值是如何通过喘息、空间、隐私和尊严等具体、具体的方式产生或减少的。这篇文章对社会“安全网”的概念提出了质疑，认为针对穷人的高质量甚至昂贵的初始公共投资可以产生公共价值。

期刊介绍： Medical Anthropology Quarterly: International Journal for the Analysis of Health publishes research and theory in the field of medical anthropology. This broad field views all inquiries into health and disease in human individuals and populations from the holistic and cross-cultural perspective distinctive of anthropology as a discipline -- that is, with an awareness of species" biological, cultural, linguistic, and historical uniformity and variation. It encompasses studies of ethnomedicine, epidemiology, maternal and child health, population, nutrition, human development in relation to health and disease, health-care providers and services, public health, health policy, and the language and speech of health and health care.
