Since 2013, South African nutrition policy focuses on "the first thousand days," (conception to two years), informed by Developmental Origins of Health and Disease research. Drawing on ethnographic research, we show how policy foregrounds certain categories of persons and casts "the maternal" as a time frame for interventions to secure future health and argue that this constitutes a "knowledge effect" - the outcome of framing questions in a particular way and with specific knowledge horizons.
自 2013 年以来，南非的营养政策侧重于“生命最初一千天”（受孕至两岁），这一政策受到健康与疾病的发育起源研究的启发。本文通过民族志研究表明，政策如何突出某些类别的人群，并将“母亲”作为干预措施的时间框架，以确保未来的健康，并认为这构成了一种“知识效应”——以特定方式提出问题并运用特定知识范围的结果。
