Our search of four databases yielded 68 studies published between 2019 and August 2024. Most studies (71%) focused on COVID-19, followed by Ebola (17%). Nearly half examine African contexts (46%), with fewer studies in Asia (26%), Europe (8%) and North America (4%). Existing studies predominantly address outbreak response rather than preparedness. Key themes include: local knowledge and the governance of outbreaks; the heterogeneity of communities and the vital role of local leaders; power dynamics and mistrust; and growing recognition of multispecies, zoonotic and planetary health dimensions. The review highlights persistent structural inequalities, with anthropological engagement in outbreak preparedness and response deeply shaped by Global North dominance. It calls for more critical and inclusive approaches to local leadership, challenging assumptions about representation, authority and trust. While rapid methods enable timely insights, they also involve trade-offs in depth and long-term engagement. Addressing these challenges requires more equitable partnerships, sustained investment in Global South capacity and participation, and deeper engagement with the structural, cultural and political dimensions of health emergencies.</p>","PeriodicalId":8240,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology & Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"1-18"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148598185","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While biomedical researchers link the presence of tailings to heightened rates of disease, remediation experts downplay such claims, generating ambivalence that complicates efforts to trace the aetiology of local health problems and blurs perceptions of whether radiation is present at all. Locals, meanwhile, neither deny nor fully acknowledge contamination. Instead, they engage in practices of silencing, a mode of knowing-and-not-knowing that sustains a fragile sense of normalcy against the backdrop of environmental degradation and post-socialist socio-economic hardship. Tracing historical continuities of secrecy from the Soviet period and attending to the neoliberal pressures that keep residents in place, the article conceptualises silencing as a form of toxic politics born of necessity rather than mobilisation. By shifting attention from measurable radiation to lived experience, it challenges binary narratives of contamination and purity, harm and safety, knowledge and ignorance. Mailuu-Suu is thus revealed as symptomatic of neoliberal late industrialism, where communities are forced to grapple with extractive pasts and uncertain futures in the absence of meaningful state support, while striving to sustain ordinary life in conditions deemed uninhabitable.</p>","PeriodicalId":8240,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology & Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"1-15"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147462630","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper focuses on 'urban ecomelancholia,' an affective response to experienced or anticipated environmental damage and loss, and the corresponding attachment to memories of past urban environments. As grieving with transformative potential, melancholia provides a lens to late industrialism's ambiguities of harm and hope. Focusing on middle-class urban dwellers in India, this paper asks how they experience and affectively relate to urban environmental change, harm, and loss. Situating urban ecomelancholia within scholarly debates on melancholia, this paper first examines urban dwellers' sensorial experiences of heat and its changes. Next, it traces residents' grief-tinged memories of one city's lost and polluted lakes and some of their attempts at ecological repair. Reflecting on melancholia's potential for activist work, these accounts are juxtaposed with a discussion of a visual artist's melancholic depictions of a polluted river and a Carnatic singer's music video in the midst of ecological ruins.</p>","PeriodicalId":8240,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology & Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146046037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the clinical encounters, social, economic and existential suffering is thus transformed into a medical condition, treatable with pharmacological means. On the one hand, the setting of a psychiatric outpatient department largely shapes the way depressive patients express their subjectivities. On the other hand, the diagnosis (and explanation) of depression as neurochemical imbalance and the prescription of drugs influences the way patients experience their suffering. Using two ethnographic examples, the aim of this paper is to analyze how subjectivities are construed and shaped in the process of negotiating depression in clinical encounters in mainstream psychiatric institutions in Kerala and how multiple framings and ontologies of affliction are assembled in them. Subjectivities of depression are, it will be argued, less coherent than ambigious and fractured, unstable and fragile. They engage, accentuate and sometimes merge different, often contradictory discourses. They should therefore better be referred to as 'subjunctivities'. The idiom of depression often becomes a rhetorical device to emphasize affiliation to a scientific medical discourse or citizenship and is often a statement to emphasize 'scientific temper' and modernity and to demarcate oneself from backwardness and superstition.</p>","PeriodicalId":8240,"journal":{"name":"Anthropology & Medicine","volume":" ","pages":"125-139"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"37781474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
