In this article, post-modern theory is described and applied to health politics with examples from community health organizing, social movements, and health promotion. Post-modernism questions conventional assumptions about concepts such as representation, participation, empowerment, community, identity, causality, accountability, responsibility, authority, and roles in community health promotion (those of expert, leader, and organizer). I compare post-modern social movements with their modern counterparts: the organizational forms, leadership styles, and substantive intellectual orientations of the two differ. I explain the social planning, community development, and social action models of community health organizing, comparing them with the priorities of post-modern social movements, and show the similarities and differences between them as to structural preferences, process, and strategies. Finally, and most importantly, I present the implicit lessons that post-modernism offers to health politics and outline the strengths and weaknesses of this approach to health politics.
在本文中，后现代理论得到了阐述，并通过社区健康组织、社会运动和健康促进等方面的实例应用于健康政治领域。后现代主义对诸如代表性、参与、赋权、社区、身份认同、因果关系、问责制、责任、权威以及社区健康促进中的角色（专家、领导者和组织者的角色）等概念的传统假设提出了质疑。我将后现代社会运动与其现代对应物进行了比较：两者在组织形式、领导风格和实质知识取向方面存在差异。我解释了社区健康组织的社会规划、社区发展和社会行动模式，并将它们与后现代社会运动的优先事项进行比较，展示了它们在结构偏好、过程和策略方面的异同。最后，也是最重要的，我阐述了后现代主义为健康政治提供的潜在经验教训，并概述了这种健康政治方法的优点和缺点。
