Отрывок из книги
The Wiley Blackwell Companions to Anthropology offers a series of comprehensive syntheses of the traditional subdisciplines, primary subjects, and geographic areas of inquiry for the field. Taken together, the series represents both a contemporary survey of anthropology and a cutting edge guide to the emerging research and intellectual trends in the field as a whole.

Dissatisfaction with (bio)medicalized medical anthropology has increased since. Methodologically, many condemn the unthinking acceptance of biomedicine’s penchant for separating health-related situations or experiences into discrete, static, countable units or factors. “Research that sets out to generate data that fits within pre-existing categories embraced by the ‘factorial’ model” (Parker and Harper 2005, p. 2) pulls experience to bits, focusing attention on parts rather than the whole, and treating culture as just another variable in a researcher-imposed equation. Instead, “complex interpretive strategies” (p. 4) should be applied. This includes being free to redefine research questions and methods as research moves along, as well as to question initial research assumptions with the express goals of “reconfiguring the boundaries of the problem” (Lambert and McKevitt 2002, p. 212) and making sure that various stakeholders’ standpoints are represented. Happily, health-care experts, too, increasingly recognize the shortcomings of a factorial gaze; medical anthropology has contributed greatly to the nascent growth of a new methodological openness in these circles.
Despite the scorn for science promulgated by some in the later twentieth century, biological medical anthropologists continued to attract students and quietly made substantial progress. They could afford to be quiet: Many journals outside of anthropology gladly accept their work. Importantly, in terms of tenure and promotion, many of the extra-anthropological journals that welcome biological anthropology have higher impact factors than those of the home discipline. Publications in such journals also can “count” more on grant applications, thereby helping assure a steadier stream of funding.
