摘要

本文通过对进步时代饮食建议的分析，介绍了批判性能力史的方法。它显示了卡路里计数如何将健康重新定义为一种源于个人负责任的自我行为的能力。当时，对身体和健康的新理解、测量身体和健康的技术，以及以优生学和工业资本主义的名义改善身体和健康的希望，都表明身体和健康是可塑的，每个公民都有责任照顾和塑造它们。因此，作为能力的健康成为排斥的领域，也成为争取公民身份认可的斗争。

Eat Your Way to Health: A History of Ability in the Progressive Era

The article introduces the approach of a critical ability history by analyzing Progressive Era diet advice. It shows how calorie counting reframed health as an ability resulting from individuals’ responsible self-conduct. At that time, novel understandings of bodies and health, techniques of measuring them, and hopes of improving them in the name of eugenics and industrial capitalism suggested that bodies and health were malleable and that it was the duty of individual citizens to care for and shape them. As such, health as ability became a terrain of exclusion as well as of struggles for citizenship recognition.

期刊介绍： Journal of American Studies seeks to critique and interrogate the notion of "America", pursuing this through international perspectives on the history, literature, politics and culture of the United States. The Journal publishes original peer-reviewed research and analysis by established and emerging scholars throughout the world, considering US history, politics, literature, institutions, economics, film, popular culture, geography, sociology and related subjects in domestic, continental, hemispheric, and global contexts. Its expanded book review section offers in-depth analysis of recent American Studies scholarship to promote further discussion and debate.
