摘要

劳拉-纳德(Laura Nader)曾向人类学家提出 "向上研究"(Studying up)的建议,要求他们仔细研究少数有权有势者的行为与大多数无权无势者的苦难之间的关系。根据这一思路,本文介绍了CommuniVax,一个支持在美国公平推广COVID-19疫苗的快速人种学研究联盟。通过发掘超本地知识以及公共卫生和政府部门掌握的高层知识,该联盟为更加公正地应对大流行病和加强民主体制提供了可能。该项目还打破了研究传统的普遍特征:它是一个多学科的集体,而不是一个孤独的民族学者;它与精英人士合作,而不是先验地与他们保持距离;它强调实用的解决方案,而不是学术性的批评。这些偏离体现了一种 "向上应用 "的模式,支持了民族学者拥有多元策略来研究对他人生活施加强大影响的行动者的观点。

Applying up: How ethnographers powered public health changes in the United States during the COVID‐19 pandemic
“Studying up” was Laura Nader's provocation to anthropologists to scrutinize the actions of the powerful few in relation to the ordeals of the powerless many. Engaging this lineage, this article describes CommuniVax, a rapid ethnographic research coalition supporting an equitable COVID‐19 vaccine rollout in the United States. By tapping hyperlocal knowledge as well as that held by public health and governmental authorities at higher reaches, the coalition opened the possibility for a more just pandemic response and stronger democratic institutions. The project also broke with prevailing features in the studying up tradition: It operated as a multidisciplinary collective rather than a lone ethnographer, partnered with elites rather than a priori holding them at arm's length, and emphasized pragmatic solutions over scholastic critiques. These departures embody an “applying up” modality, supporting the idea ethnographers have plural strategies for studying actors who exert strong influence over others’ lives.
