Raktažodžiai:
Cancer Entangled explores the shifts that took place in Denmark around the millennium, when health promoters set out to minimize delays in cancer diagnoses in hope of improving cancer survival. The authors suggest a temporal reframing of cancer control that emphasizes the importance of focusing on how people – potential patients as well as health care professionals – experience and anticipate cancer before a diagnosis or a prediction has been made. This argument compellingly challenges and augments anthropological work on cancer control that has privileged attention to the productive role of science and technology and to life with cancer or cancer risk. By offering rich ethnographic insights into the introduction of the first cancer vaccine, cancer signs and symptoms, public discourses on delays, social class and care seeking, cancer suspicion in the clinic, as well as the work on fast-track referral – the book convincingly situates cancer control in an ethical registrar involving attention to acceleration and time, showing how cancer waiting times become an index of the "state of the nation".

Recenzijos

"Cancer Entangled is a remarkable edited collection that chronicles the social life and shaping of cancer in Denmark. Andersen and TŲrring have crafted a vital contribution to the anthropology of cancer that innovatively weaves intimate experiences of surveillance, diagnosis, and treatment with historico-political analyses of the birth of 'fast-track cancer pathways' within the Danish healthcare system. Cancer Entangled is a must read for all anthropologists, sociologists, STS scholars, and political scientists interested in healthcare." - Ayo Wahlberg (professor in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Copenhagen) "Cancer Entangled explores how the miasma of the potential of cancer infiltrates and weighs on peoples ordinary lives as well as clinical experiences.  The impact of anticipatory cancer within a welfare state is at the core of each of the chapters, yet each individual chapter contributes a contextually different perspective, contributing to our understanding of the broader context. This is a conversation well worth joining!" - M. Cameron Hay-Rollins (author of Remembering to Live: Illness at the Intersection of Anxiety and Knowledge in Rural Indones)
