The Chronopolitics of Life
The Chronopolitics of Life represents an important, timely and novel contribution in the fields of anthropology, social sciences of medicine, science and technology studies and cognate disciplines. By examining the concept of chronopolitics, this interdisciplinary collection explores the coproduction of temporalities, bodies and power relations in health contexts. The book offers an original perspective on how temporalities shape the embodiment of health-related inequalities, across the beginning and the end of life. It provides empirical examples, from different places in Europe and Africa, of how technoscientific and biomedical endeavours reconfigure the temporalities of life. It also describes how time becomes a resource that is unequally distributed. By investigating health practices and lived experiences in science, institutions and governance, the authors reveal how specific temporal regimes can lead to discrimination on the basis of age, race, gender, (dis)ability and sexual orientation. This differentially shapes the experiences of ill-health, biomedical practices, the governing of bodies, biographies and the life course.
Integrative Approaches in Environmental Health and Exposome Research
Research on the relationship between health and the environment in a postgenomic context is increasingly aimed at understanding the various exposures as a whole, simultaneously taking into account data pertaining to the biology of organisms and the physical and social environment. Exposome research is a paradigmatic case of this new trend in environmental health studies. This book takes a multidisciplinary approach focusing on the conceptual, epistemological, and sociological reflections in the latest research on environmental and social determinants of health and disease. It offers a combination of theoretical and practical approaches and the authors are scholars from a multidisciplinary background (epidemiology, geography, philosophy of medicine and biology, sociology). Crucially, the book balances the benefit and cost of the integration of biological and social factors when modelling aetiology of disease.

Les territoires face aux cancers rares. Création d'une typologie de qualité territoriale pour l'étude des inégalités géographiques face aux cancers
La progression des inégalités géographiques face aux cancers souligne notre difficulté à comprendre comment elles se construisent et agir efficacement sur ce processus médical géographiquement différencié, reflétant la diverse qualité des territoires à protéger leurs habitants des risques de santé. Comprendre la construction de ces inégalités implique donc de reconstituer le processus médical aboutissant à ces inégalités, tout en montrant l'impact de la qualité territoriale sur l'issue de ce processus médical.Les cohortes de patients atteints de cancers rares (cancers de l'adolescent et adulte jeune - sarcomes) en Rhône-Alpes, développées par l'équipe EMS du Centre ...
