Beskrivning
In Mosquito Work, Ann H. Kelly and Javier Lezaun reimagine global health by returning to its most persistent problem: the mosquito. Drawing on nearly two decades of ethnographic and historical research across Africa, Latin America, Europe, and the former Soviet Union, the authors follow entomologists, technicians, community volunteers, and the mosquitoes themselves to illuminate the collaborations, experimental improvisations, and political entanglements that shape contemporary disease control. In each setting, Kelly and Lezaun explore how expertise is crafted, how interventions take shape, and how scientific attention to mosquito life becomes a vehicle for imagining different futures of global health. The painstaking effort to come to grips with the dynamic behaviors, elusive ecology, and irrepressible recalcitrance of mosquitoes offers crucial insight into what global health can know and do. Mosquito Work reveals a world where intervention depends less on silver bullets than on forms of care, persistence, and collaboration that unfold close to the problem at hand.

Recensioner i media

“This highly anticipated book builds on more than two decades of research in entomological field stations and archives from Tanzania to Brazil. In it, Kelly and Lezaun go beyond the stereotype of the ‘war on mosquitoes’ to reimagine medical entomology as a collaborative, world-making endeavor. Buzzing with cunning insights, Mosquite Work shows how the ethnography of health science—and science itself—might be done differently, and much better.”—Alex Nading, Professor of Anthropology, Cornell University “Mosquito Work tours a fascinating array of efforts by entomologists and disease ecologists to create devices, spaces, and forms of knowledge devised to obstruct mosquitoes’ remarkable penchant for foiling human ambitions. The book’s impressive transdisciplinary reach and penchant for building on scientists’ own narrative styles will attract scholars of pragmatism, global health, and the social and natural sciences.”—Charles L. Briggs, author of Incommunicable: Toward Communicative Justice in Health and Medicine
