Bios and arrows: On time in health geographies

“…This is to fully witness, register and record, through embodied knowledge, the animate and inanimate entities and dimensions at play in the new capitalism and its health and wellbeing involvements and consequences. Ultimately, they might then ‘act into’ life in research settings, subtly nudging it through time in preferred directions (e.g., Justesen et al., 2014; Roe & Greenough 2014; Sunderland et al., 2012). (ii) Community partnered/engaged public research , which acknowledges those people and groups whose health and well‐being are most neglected and affected by processes of the new capitalism, and what troubles and priorities they have had at critical moments in their histories.…”

Developing and publishing interdisciplinary research: Creating dialogue, taking risks

“…In contrast, there are opportunities to develop what can be called 'provocative exportation': taking field-specific concepts or techniques and extending their application to new disciplinary areas and audiences. For example, previous work has applied hospitality concepts and principles in studies of hospital and healthcare practices (Justesen, Gyimóthy and Mikkelsen 2014;Kelly, Losekoot and Wright-StClair 2016), hospital design (Suess and Mody 2017), funerals (Filimonau and Brown 2018;Hay 2020), organisations (Lugosi 2011(Lugosi , 2014, urbanity and governance, including planning scenarios (Broek Chávez and van der Rest 2014; Morton and Johnson 2019) and service sectors (Solnet et al 2019). This work may still be published in hospitality or closely aligned outlets, such as tourism or services management.…”

Health geographies III: More-than-representational pushes and expressions

“…Encounters themselves can be infinitely variable in form and scale. For example, the improvised poking, rubbing, pressing, pushing, squashing in arts-based interventions for schoolchildren which have therapeutic potential (Atkinson and Rubidge, 2013); the contacts in a workshop with young people focused on their health needs which produces its own energy, enthusiasm and future actions (Kraftl and Horton, 2007); sudden moments on hospital wards that break formality and formulaity and create new practice directions (Justesen et al, 2014); children with disabilities falling, failing and responding while learning with their bodies (Stephens et al, 2015); everyday haptic encounters with weather for people with sight impairment - either positive experiences that can invigorate or calm, or negative experiences that can isolate or disorientate (Bell et al, 2019).…”

“…More simply, methods are frequently montaged. Justesen et al (2014), for example, combines performative participation on hospital wards with photography and interviews to capture happenings as well as meanings in the hospital meal experience. In another study Whitehead et al (2016) explores the potential of mindfulness as a method for opening up affects and other more-than-representational routes to wellbeing.…”
