Since the naming of hepatitis C in 1989, knowledge about the
disease has grown exponentially. So too, however, has the stigma
with which it is linked. Associated with injecting drug use and
tainted blood scandals, hepatitis C inspires fear and blame. Making
Disease, Making Citizens takes a timely look at the disease, those
directly affected by it and its social and cultural implications.
Drawing on personal interviews and a range of textual sources, the
book presents a scholarly and engaging analysis of a newly
identified and highly controversial disease and its relationship to
philosophies of health, risk and harm in the West. It maps the
social and medical negotiations taking place around the disease,
shedding light on the ways these negotiations are also co-producing
new selves. Adopting a feminist science and technology studies
approach, this theoretically sophisticated, empirically informed
analysis of the social construction of disease and the philosophy
of health will appeal to those with interests in the sociology of
health and medicine, health communication and harm reduction, and
science and technology studies.
