?:abstract
  • In Greenhalghs words, Post-Mao China [is] home to a veritable state-sponsored religion of S&T marked by widespread faith in the power of modern science and technology to solve the problems that other approaches have failed to solve\' This mass culture of S&T\' has been threatened by such problems as contaminated food and toxic air\'-and now, of course, the novel coronavirus Take, for example, the lead contribution by Zhiying Ma on a Chinese effort to extend hospital treatments of mental illness into a public mental health infrastructure In the particular case studied by Song, however, Chinese physicians pushed back, criticizing double-blind clinical trials, considered the gold standard in the West, as focused too much on testing the drug, not treating the patient Building on engaged descriptions of clinical practice in traditional Chinese medicine, narrative reflections on food and sex in post-Maoist China, and the vernacular nurturing of life in contemporary Beijing, this small volume (based on her 2017 Terry Lectures at Yale University) offers Chinas traditional medical practices as a science, technology, and society relationship unique to the nation itself
