Medical Anthropology at Home Conference VII
June 22 – 24, 2012, Driebergen, Netherlands

“New Socialities and Subjectivities in Health Care in the 21st Century”
Health care, conceived broadly as institutionalized as well as non-institutionalized forms of tending to sickness and health, is undergoing transformations at a high speed and with unprecedented outcomes. Accelerated global flows of medical goods and services, ongoing economization of health in the context of cutbacks of health related public expenditures, demographic changes and the ‘greying’ of societies, as well as new and re-emergent pandemics affect the health care landscapes in the 21st century.

In addition, new actors in health care policy-making emerge, and we are confronted with a professionalization of ’traditional‘ healing services. This conference seeks to bring together medical anthropologists to discuss such transformations with a focus on the new socialities and subjectivities that emerge.
