Knowledge of Panton-Valentine leukocidin-associated Staphylococcus aureus infections among paediatric registrars in England

摘要

Ethnicity has emerged as a salient analytical tool for understanding gendered violence, particularly during times of political conflict. In times of political strife, ethnic identities become polarised and performative, with the rape of 'enemy' women and men from different ethnic and political groups used as strategies of humiliating and degrading the 'enemy'. Kenya's post-election violence attest to the ways ethnic and cultural differences that define what it means to be a man can become politicised and performed in public spaces. There is a need to critically consider/the polarisation of ethnic identities during political crisis as ethnic 'retribalisation' (Kagwanja 2003): the turn to 'primodialistic' notions of ethnicity based on metaphors that conjure shared blood (Hutchinson and Jok 2002) rely on notions of relatedness and kinship that may actually harm men's health.
