Produktbeschreibung

This book brings together cutting-edge theoretical work across a range of disciplines in service of developing better understandings of the nature and experience of time in relation to health, illness and care. While the passage of time - smooth or otherwise - is a universal experience, it is often felt acutely in relation to compromised health and/or the need for care. These are key sites for understanding how time is managed and made meaningful in healthcare settings and in everyday life. Timescapes of Health, Illness and Care takes an interdisciplinary and international approach to understanding how considerations of time - its ontological standing, normative value, and embodied and intersubjective experience - are vital to understanding experiences of health and illness, the governance of healthcare institutions, and the cultures that circulate around (and often obscure) informal care.

Her work is informed by science and technology studies (STS), critical medical humanities, and sociology of health and illness.
