*Panel abstract:*
What is the place of place in living with chronic disease? Through
universalizing methods and separating chronic disease from context,
epidemiological and other biomedical approaches frequently focus on
individuals and populations independent from location (or milieu). Quality
of life measures also focus on individuals over place, places becoming
relegated to a background to everyday life instead of an integral part of
living with chronic disease. Within social science, place risks being
reified as the location of culture and sociality, underplaying the
biological, environmental, and technological ways in which place is ‘made’.
This panel considers how the lens of chronicity and vitality might enable
us to re-conceptualise place. Rather than seeing either place or the body
as separate, given and pre-defined, we focus on how chronic illnesses make
place in different ways, creating or allowing for particular interactions,
connections, and looping effects. We are interested in how places are
(un)made through living with, or at risk of, long-term conditions and in
biomedical (and other) forms of care, as well as critical reflections on
how health researchers have sought to incorporate and take account of
place: how places become vital and create vitality. We welcome papers that
explore ways in which different places take on particular significance; how
these are defined, bounded and link to values and understandings; how
places shape, and are shaped by bodies with particular needs, abilities or
desires; how temporalities of chronic living are ‘placed’; ways place is
made ‘vital’ in living with chronic disease, and related questions.
