HOPE AND UNCERTAINTY IN HEALTH AND MEDICINE KAR...

In health and medicine  the imagination of what the future holds is an essential element in
propelling people into action. This holds true not only at the level of individuals and their
everyday activities and more extended live plans  but also for institutionalized practices that
unfold within particular socio-political ecologies. Hope and uncertainty are essential
affective and knowledge-related modalities of such imagination. This volume brings together
contributions from medical anthropologists addressing this within various medical spheres
including the pragmatics of hope and uncertainty  the techno-sphere  health management as well
as individual and socially distributed emotions.
