Abstract

This article is an ethnography of color and black-and-white in medical images of a particular kind—prenatal ultrasound—in a particular place—Phnom Penh, Cambodia. It is also a meditation on histories and theorizations of color. It moves from the discourse and practice of pregnant women, family members, and doctors about color and black-and-white, to political and intellectual histories of color in Cambodia and in anthropology, to Buddhist ontologies of pregnancy and life. Across this diverse terrain, the notion of the image-affect conveys how images stimulate affective responses in viewers and how images affect their referents. A method of listening to and for image-affects helps us to understand how people relate to the elemental instability of images and the instability of beings to which images refer and with which they become.

这篇文章是一篇关于彩色和黑白医学图像的民族志，这是一种特殊的医学图像——产前超声——在一个特殊的地方——柬埔寨金边。这也是对历史和色彩理论的思考。它从孕妇、家庭成员和医生关于有色人种和黑白人种的话语和实践，到柬埔寨和人类学的有色人种政治和知识史，再到佛教关于怀孕和生活的本体论。在这个多样化的领域中，图像影响的概念传达了图像如何刺激观众的情感反应，以及图像如何影响他们的参照物。一种倾听和观察图像影响的方法有助于我们理解人们如何与图像的基本不稳定性以及图像所指的存在的不稳定性以及它们与之的关系。

期刊介绍： Public Culture is a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal of cultural studies, published three times a year—in January, May, and September. It is sponsored by the Department of Media, Culture, and Communication, NYU. A four-time CELJ award winner, Public Culture has been publishing field-defining ethnographies and analyses of the cultural politics of globalization for over thirty years. The journal provides a forum for the discussion of the places and occasions where cultural, social, and political differences emerge as public phenomena, manifested in everything from highly particular and localized events in popular or folk culture to global advertising, consumption, and information networks. Artists, activists, and scholars, both well-established and younger, from across the humanities and social sciences and around the world, present some of their most innovative and exciting work in the pages of Public Culture.
