摘要

在丹麦，"早期 "癌症诊断的禁令越来越多地意味着对微小组织变化的监测，这些变化可能发展成癌症，也可能不会发展成癌症。基于在肺癌诊断诊所的实地考察以及与 CT 监测组织变化的人的接触，我探讨了检测到的组织变化如何被赋予 "无 "或 "有 "的意义。受皮尔斯符号学的启发，我认为组织变化的符号学不确定性指出了诊断社会性是如何扩展医学符号学并促成这种扩展的。因此，这篇文章有助于理解作为诊断基础设施的符号。

Signs of Nothing: Negotiations Over Semiotic Indeterminacy in Danish Lung Cancer Diagnostics.

In Denmark, injunctions of "early" cancer diagnosis increasingly imply surveillance of small tissue changes, which may or may not develop into cancer. Based on fieldwork at diagnostic lung cancer clinics and with people in CT surveillance for tissue changes, I explore how detected tissue changes are ascribed meaning as signs of "nothing" or "something." Inspired by Peircean semiotics, I suggest that the semiotic indeterminacy of tissue changes points to how diagnostic socialities both expand medical semiotics and enable this expansion. The article, thereby, contributes to understandings of signs as diagnostic infrastructures.

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.
