Assuming power in 1949, the Chinese Communist Party was faced with a crucial problem: how to construct the socialist 'New Man'? On the one hand, led by Liu Shaoqi, the proponents of the technocracy advocated self-cultivation. Led by Mao Zedong, their opponents advocated the exact opposite technique: the abolition of the self and the institution of a mass subjectivity. Examining this conflict through the analytical lens of Foucault's 'technologies of the self' and in relation to biopolitics, the book explores how the battle for the self in Maoist China revolved around the interpretation of the 'spirit of selflessness' as embodied by the heroic Canadian doctor, Norman Bethune, who lost his life as a volunteer doctor of the Red Army. The book narrates how, called to embody this selfless spirit, medical doctors were trapped in a spiral between cultivation and abolition, leading to the explosion of ideology during the Cultural Revolution.

Perhaps the exegetic habitus of Chinese Communism owes its persistence to the millennia-long bonding of Chinese raison d' etat with Confucian concerns regarding the attunement of words and deeds, a problem that generated technologies of zhengming (retification of names), which Hall and Ames have recently analyzed as a ritual organisation of the relation between the self and the other. ......
In this book I will try to underline the relation between the ecegetical operations on Norman Bethune's memorial with this long and contested philosophical legacy. My thesis is that the memorial's ambivalent key-phrase, the spirit of selflessness, played a crucial role in defining the contours of the New Man in China. And yet, it remains unrecognised as such in the long bibliography on Maoism, ... (查看原文)
In my examination of how the exegesis of Dr Bethune's spirit of selflessness functioned as a stage for the struggle between the 'cultivation of the self' and the 'abolition of the self', as technologies of the self promoted by two distinct modes of Chinese socialist governmentality, I shall take as my historical-ethnographic ground the way in which this contention was acted out within the context of the medical and public health apparatus of the People's Republic of China between 1949 and 1969.

这本书从对白求恩精神的双重阐释出发，讨论社会主义“新人”的概念。本书一半是建国后的医学、公共卫生史，一半是共产党高层人物代表作的文本分析（比如刘少奇的论共产党员的修养）。思想概念史的部分，我读得不多，无法评价。但医疗史的部分，结合了英文著作中比较新和经典的对PRC医学发展的描述，用精炼篇幅梳理了医学界的发展过程。这本书论证展开的部分少，提及的概念多。可以作为PRC医疗史（政治层面）的大纲来读。 ... 这本书从对白求恩精神的双重阐释出发，讨论社会主义“新人”的概念。本书一半是建国后的医学、公共卫生史，一半是共产党高层人物代表作的文本分析（比如刘少奇的论共产党员的修养）。思想概念史的部分，我读得不多，无法评价。但医疗史的部分，结合了英文著作中比较新和经典的对PRC医学发展的描述，用精炼篇幅梳理了医学界的发展过程。这本书论证展开的部分少，提及的概念多。可以作为PRC医疗史（政治层面）的大纲来读。 本书一个明显的缺点：中文人名的拼音错误颇多，比如杨献珍成了Yang Xiazheng。 (展开)
