After Antibiotics - Events, Episodes and the Veterinization of UK Livestock.
As antimicrobial use is more tightly regulated, animal medicine is under pressure. Drawing on UK fieldwork with veterinarians, farmers, and animal health providers, this article examines how animal health practices are being reorganized. It argues that antimicrobial reductions have not driven the systemic changes some predict. Instead, the antibiotic era's legacy persists, shaping preventive efforts and reinforcing data-driven control. As veterinary roles are marginalized, the illusion of mastery over animal life endures. It is an illusion that risks undermining progress on antimicrobial resistance by reinforcing, rather than challenging, dominant forms of biopolitical control.
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.
