中文摘要:

文章介绍了“ 生物公民” 的理论及发展趋势, 讨论了本概念对阐释北京的糖尿病人的情况的作用。生物医学的糖尿病疗法主要取决于教育病人使用一套复杂的自我监督和自我管理方法, 而文章描述了这样一套全球一致的疗法如何被地方化并认同及其社会组织的基础。生物公民理论描写的认同和社会组织进程在糖尿病人的领域显然也存在, 但是教育并组织糖尿病人的主要驱动力来自药物公司和病人自己, 而国家扮演的角色并不重要。因此文章建议用一个相关的概念——— 生物社会性, 作为出发点去了解诸如糖尿病的生物差异在地方性的场合如何被赋予意义, 如何成为社会实践。

英文摘要:

The paper briefly introduces the concept of biological citizenship and discusses how it may be applied to the case of diabetics in Beijing .Biomedical diabetes treatment rests largely on teaching patients complex strategies o f self management , and the paper ex amines how such global procedures are taug ht and used locally as a basis for identity and social actio n.While finding the pro cesses of identification and social organisation described under the heading of biological citizenship very relevant, the paper argues that pharmaceutical companies and individual diabetics are much more intimately involved in the pro cess of teaching and org anising diabetics than the state , and it is according ly sugg ested that the related concept of biosociality may be a better framew ork for conceptualising how perceived biological differences are infused w ith meaning and socially practiced in local contex ts.
