New Technologies and Emerging Spaces of Care provides the latest
practice-oriented qualitative research and innovative conceptual
discussions of how health and health care systems are currently
dealing with complex transformations and varied reforms. Exploring
and analysing the social and cultural impact of new technologies,
this book examines the societal relevance of new technologies of
care and the manner in which technological innovations configure
and reconfigure institutionalized spaces of care. It addresses
issues of social control, accountability, surveillance and
disciplining; diverging patterns of inclusion and exclusion; new
relations and subjectivities of patients and care givers; the
relation between private and public forms of care and the practices
and concerns generated by new technologies at the individual as
well as the societal level. Presenting sophisticated theoretical
discussions and detailed empirical case studies, New Technologies
and Emerging Spaces of Care analyses, compares and evaluates on a
transnational level the role and impact of (assistive) technologies
for elderly and disabled people on the concepts and practices of
spaces of care. A critical understanding of contemporary practices
of care, that cuts through the growing conceptual barriers between
social and medical models of care studies, this book will be of
interest to those interested in new technologies, health care and
social space of care. Specifically, it will appeal to scholars of
science and technology studies, medical sociology and the sociology
of the body, social inequality and exclusion, health and care
studies, gerontology and disability studies.
