Overview
At an understaffed and underresourced urban African training hospital, Malawian medical students learn to be doctors while foreign medical students, visiting Malawi as clinical tourists on short-term électives, learn about \"global health.\" Scientific ideas circulate fast there; clinical tourists circulate readily from outside to Malawi but not the reverse; medical technologies circulate slowly, erratically, and sometimes not at all. Medicine's uneven globalization is on full display. I extend scholarship on moral imaginations and medical imaginaries to propose that students map these wards variously as places in which—or from which—they seek a better medicine. Clinical tourists, enacting their own moral maps, also become representatives of medicine \"out there\": points on the maps of others. Ethnographic data show that for Malawians, clinical tourists are colleagues, foils against whom they construct ideas about a superior and distinctly Malawian medicine and visions of possible alternative futures for themselves. In einem unterbesetzten, unterfinanzierten afrikanischen Lehrkrankenhaus werden malawische Medizinstudenten zu Ärzten ausgebildet. Auch ausländische Medizinstudenten studieren dort; sie besuchen Malawi als \"klinische Touristen\" für kurzfristige Aufenthalte, bei denen sie Wahlfächer belegen und etwas über \"globale Gesundheit\" lernen. Wissenschaftliche Ideen zirkulieren dort schnell. Medizinische Technologien verbreiten sich langsam, unregelmäßig, und manchmal überhaupt nicht: die ungleiche Globalisierung der Medizin ist unübersehbar, ich erweitere die Literatur über moralische und medizinische Imaginationen und argumentiere, dass die Studenten sich diese Krankenhausabteilungen auf \"moralischen Karten\" vorstellen, entweder als Orte wo—oder von wo aus—sie eine \"bessere Medizin\" anstreben. Klinische Touristen (die ihren eigenen moralischen Karten folgen) repräsentieren außerdem die Medizin \"da draußen\": Sie werden zu Punkten auf den \"moralischen Karten\" Anderer. Für malawische Medizinstudenten sind diese ausländischen klinischen Touristen Kollegen, ein Hintergrund, vor dem sie Ideen einer überlegenen und spezifisch malawischen Medizin und alternative Zukunftsvisionen für sich selbst konstruieren. Dans un hôpital d'enseignement africain, en sous-effectif et manquant de ressources, les étudiants malawiens apprennent à être médecins alors que les étudiants étrangers, « touristes cliniques » en visite au Malawi, s'informent sur la « santé publique mondiale ». Les idées scientifiques circulent rapidement; les touristes circulent facilement de l'étranger au Malawi mais pas vice-versa; quand les technologies médicales circulent, c'est lentement. La mondialisation inégale de la médecine est exposée. J'accrois la recherche sur les imaginations morales et imaginaires médicaux, argumentant que les étudiants dépeignent cette expérience comme étant un lieu où, et par l'intermédiaire duquel, ils recherchent une médecine meilleure. Les touristes affichent leur scheme moral et représentent également la médecine de « là-bas »: des repères pour les autres. Les données ethnographiques démontrent que pour les Malawiens, les touristes sont des collègues à travers qui ils construisent les concepts d'une médecine malawienne supérieure et d'un avenir différent.
