摘要

人们的健康行为据说是由市场力量、科学或宗教机构或国家决定的。在任何特定的时间点，审视在任何社会中塑造健康文化的主导机构都是有意义的。虽然公共卫生并不是印度政府的优先事项，但新冠肺炎大流行为国家监管创造了一个明确无误的机会。这篇文章的论点是，国家一直是新冠肺炎大流行框架和相关干预措施识别的核心，因此政治和医学之间的界限变得模糊。这些制度决定对人民健康行为的影响表明，在印度这样的社会中，顺从的健康行为是国家的象征性资源，无论政府是否真的提供了医疗服务。

I: COVID-19 pandemic and the politics of risk: Perspectives on science, state and society in India

Health behaviour of the people is said to be shaped by market forces, scientific or religious institutions or the state. It is pertinent to examine the dominant institutions that shape health cultures in any society, at any given point in time. While public health has not been a priority for the Indian state, the COVID-19 pandemic created an unmistakable opportunity for state regulation. It is the argument of this article that the state has been central to the framing of the COVID-19 pandemic and the identification of relevant interventions, such that the borderline between the political and medical is blurred. The influence of these institutional decisions on the health behaviour of the people indicates that compliant health behaviour is a symbolic resource for the state in societies like India, irrespective of whether the government actually delivers on its health care delivery.

期刊介绍： Contributions to Indian Sociology (CIS) is a peer-reviewed journal which has encouraged and fostered cutting-edge scholarship on South Asian societies and cultures over the last 50 years. Its features include research articles, short comments and book reviews. The journal also publishes special issues to highlight new and significant themes in the discipline. CIS invites articles on all countries of South Asia, the South Asian diaspora as well as on comparative studies related to the region. The journal favours articles in which theory and data are mutually related. It welcomes a diversity of theoretical approaches and methods. CIS was founded by Louis Dumont and David Pocock in 1957 but ceased publication in 1966. A new series commenced publication the next year (1967) at the initiative of T.N. Madan with the support of an international group of scholars including Professors Louis Dumont, A.C. Mayer, Milton Singer and M.N. Srinivas. Published annually till 1974, Contributions became a biannual publication in 1975. From 1999, the journal has been published thrice a year.
