Views from many worlds: unsettling categories in interdisciplinary research on endemic zoonotic diseases
Argues for a broader sweep of disciplinary insights from anthropology and other social sciences in interdisciplinary dialogue
Abstract
Interdisciplinary research on zoonotic disease has tended to focus on 바카라 사이트˜risk바카라 사이트™ of disease transmission as a conceptual common denominator. With reference to endemic zoonoses at the livestock바카라 사이트“human interface, we argue for considering a broader sweep of disciplinary insights from anthropology and other social sciences in interdisciplinary dialogue, in particular cross-cultural perspectives on human바카라 사이트“animal engagement. We consider diverse worldviews where human바카라 사이트“animal encounters are perceived of in terms of the kinds of social relations they generate, and the notion of culture is extended to the 바카라 사이트˜natural바카라 사이트™ world
This work arises from the Zoonoses and Emerging Livestock Systems (ZELS) programme.
