<br>
<br>quality, vitality and health in the 21st century
<br>an international conference
<br>23-25 April 2020, University of Copenhagen, Denmark
<br>
<br>CALL FOR INDIVIDUAL PAPERS
<br>https://vital.ku.dk/activities/conference-chronic-living/
<br>
<br>While still (too) many people die from fatal diseases, more and more people
<br>all around the world are living with chronic conditions. Qualitative aspects
<br>of daily living, thus, emerge as objects of knowledge as well as sites of
<br>interventions just as "lifestyle" and "wellbeing" figure as targets of more
<br>and more health and welfare interventions. "Quality of life" has become a
<br>quality of care parameter measured by medical professionals who provide
<br>treatments for diseases that cannot be cured, only lived with. A "normal life"
<br>has become the promise in advertisements that pharmaceutical companies bring
<br>out. Preventive (mental) health interventions, "positive living" HIV projects,
<br>and patient associations, while providing advice and support families on how
<br>best to "live with" a particular condition, feed into imperatives of living
<br>well.
<br>
<br>With this move towards quality, vitality and health, and with chronic living
<br>as object at the intersection of knowledge production and intervention, a new
<br>politics of living continues to unfold which poses methodological,
<br>theoretical, and normative challenges in the social sciences of medicine.
<br>Medical anthropology, sociology, STS and other neighbouring disciplines have a
<br>long tradition of studying the processes of living with (chronic) disease.
<br>Countless ethnographic studies have provided insights about how all around the
<br>world people go about their everyday life endeavours while actually living
<br>with depression, dementia, diabetes, cancer, heart disease, kidney disease and
<br>more. As a result, a wide range of analytical tools and theoretical
<br>repertoires have emerged to grasp "chronic living" ranging from experience
<br>(intersubjectivity), existential meaning (leading a moral/ethical life),
<br>suffering (struggling along), belonging (relationality), doing (tinkering),
<br>performance (affordances) or as an object of disciplining (subjectivation).
<br>
<br>We hereby invite you to join us to collectively build on these tradition(s);
<br>to engage, unpack, explore and tackle quality, vitality and health, which is
<br>to say chronic living and the politics of living that are at stake in it. We
<br>welcome contributions from scholars as well as colleagues working in other
<br>sectors, whether hospitals, patients associations or other.
<br>Individual papers can be directed at one of the open panels listed below or
<br>submitted as an independent contribution addressing the overall questions
<br>guiding the conference. The organizing committee will cluster independent
<br>contributions as best possible according to overlapping themes.
<br> Paper submission should include:
<br>- Name and affiliation
<br>- Paper title
<br>- Paper abstract (max. 200 words)
<br>- An indication of which open panel the paper is directed at or that it is an
<br>independent submission speaking to the conference theme in general
<br>* Please notice that some travel bursaries will be available. When submitting
<br>your paper, please indicate whether you intend to apply for bursary.
