Where Practices Meet
What happens when practices of dance and ethnography meet, inviting each other in to explore ways of experiencing and knowing the world from another position of being? This article presents a methodological experimentation that works across somatic movement practice and ethnography to think, analyse, and inquire through the body. Rather than treating embodiment as an object of study, we approach movement as a mode of analysis and ethnography as a…
Making Decisions or Enacting Shoulder Care? Challenging Assumptions About Matters of Concern in the Orthopaedic Shoulder Clinic
Because of increasing pressure on healthcare resources in many countries, public health policies are increasingly occupied with how to optimise decision‐making processes to ensure medical interventions are appropriate, necessary and aligned with the preferences and values of patients. One prominent example is the concept/model of shared decision‐making (SDM) which target clinician‐patient interactions in the clinic. Such public health goals raise…
Tailored AI ethics
Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are increasingly integrated into clinical practice, where they demonstrate potential to mitigate adverse events through enhanced patient monitoring and decision support. However, these AI systems also introduce ethical concerns around care standards and surveillance. Literature on ethically acceptable healthcare AI remains broadly theoretical, limiting its practical applicability. Using a theoretical framework…
Narrating hope among relatives to patients with disorders of consciousness
Relatives of patients with severe acquired brain injury (sABI) navigate complex emotional and medical landscapes as they balance the realities of prognosis with the desire for recovery. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork in Danish neurorehabilitation units, this study explores how relatives create and manage hope amid medical uncertainty. Inspired by Hirokazu Miyazaki’s concept of hope as a method, we analyze how hope functions as a relational and…
The impact of animations to improve health-information recall in patients with lower back pain
Globally, low back pain (LBP) is the leading cause of years lived with disability. Clear communication between patients and health professionals is essential to improve health outcomes, lower the costs of health services, and plays a central role in avoiding fragmented LBP care. Commonly, patient information is provided verbally or in written text, which may require high health literacy. Research suggests animations can increase information acqui…
Being invited into another
In this article, we share participants' reflections on five workshops offering a co-creative movement practice with peers in cancer rehabilitation. Due to illness and treatment, many young adult cancer survivors experience mental and physical challenges for years post-treatment. Adolescents and Young Adult (AYA) patients with cancer are a group of patients aged 15-39. Using the term here, we refer solely to Young Adults, as participants in our st…
Biosocial vulnerabilities amidst the pandemic
Health logics in and beyond the laboratory
The COVID-19 pandemic spread rapidly across the globe after its emergence in 2020. Various strategies were used to prevent the spread of infection, including lockdowns, testing, and social distancing. However, accepting or rejecting certain measures had implications for individuals, populations, or both, and the pandemic foregrounded the relation between medicine and public health, including their different objectives, ethical principles, and ris…
Visualising, navigating and making time
Illness trajectories are particularly characterised by the temporal dimension of human existence. In the area of low back pain, patients often have challenging temporal experiences such as unproductive waiting time and fragmented, repetitive consultations over many years. This study seeks to investigate relationships between digital technologies, temporal agency, and illness, through describing how users experienced a new digital solution, BackTr…
Making it Work
A growing concern in clinical literature with the "treatment burden" of living with multimorbidity raises questions about how we can study and produce knowledge on the impact of health care. In this article, we draw on ethnographic material from fieldwork among people with multimorbidity in Denmark and recent theorization on "values" in health care, to show how an ongoing "trying out" and ways of "just getting on with it" are enacted in illness t…
Expanding Medical Semiotics
This special issue explores the evolving landscape of medical semiotics of conventional biomedicine. With expansion we refer to the range of phenomena considered signs or symptoms of underlying disease, but also the growing anthropological attention to the medical sign system in ways which reach beyond classic semiotic analysis. The articles testify to the expansion in terms of empirical foci and theoretical contributions. As part of the introduc…
Making It Count - Tracing Signs of Consciousness and Potentiality in Severe Brain Injury in Denmark
Healthcare professionals use various technologies to evaluate and support patients who have suffered severe brain injuries. They integrate monitoring and sensory assessments into their clinical practice, and these assessments can have an impact on treatment decisions and prognostication. Responses from patients during different interactions are interpreted as "signs of consciousness" when considered contextually relevant. This study is based on a…
Testing Care and Morality
COVID-testing was central to control the spread of infection in Denmark. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork, we show that testing was not just a diagnostic sign; it was also a biosocial practice that enacted a public health morality, centered on responsibility, care, and belonging. We argue that testing led to a public healthicization of everyday life, as it moralized individual and collective behavior and created a moral divide between the tested…
The practice of information appraisal
As healthcare systems grow increasingly complex, greater demands are placed on patients' abilities to find, understand, appraise, and use health information - often termed their 'health literacy'. Most health literacy research does not focus on information appraisal. When it does, there is a tendency to equate it with patients' assessment of credibility. This reproduces a healthcare-centric understanding of information appraisal where patient age…
Tinkering with symptoms, causes and solutions
People living with multiple chronic illnesses and an increasing need for acute care is a global health challenge, which questions the conventional ways of managing illness. A central issue is how medical practices can become more patient-centred and aligned with the everyday life of patients. Communicative strategies for eliciting the patient's goals and preferences are often proposed. In this article, we draw on ethnographic data from fieldwork …
Access to intervene. An ethnographic study of public health practices targeting health inequalities
Much public health research has devoted attention to the question of how interventions aimed at reducing health inequalities can access so-called "hard-to-reach" populations. This work has generally reflected an instrumentalist approach, which implies the preexistence of particular target groups characterized by specific public health problems. The key research interests are to find ways to effectively alleviate health inequalities and to identif…

Discharge readiness as an infrastructure
The discharge from hospital is an essential care transition for elderly people with chronic illness, specifically because the responsibility for treatment and care is transferred between locations and healthcare staff. To optimise the use of healthcare resources in a time of progressively shorter hospital admissions and increasingly streamlined hospital care, discharges are highlighted as important moments to be handled with caution. Yet, dischar…

Can inequality be tamed through boundary work? A qualitative study of health promotion aimed at reducing health inequalities
A case of standardization? Implementing health promotion guidelines in Denmark
Guidelines are increasingly used in an effort to standardize and systematize health practices at the local level and to promote evidence-based practice. The implementation of guidelines frequently faces problems, however, and standardization processes may in general have other outcomes than the ones envisioned by the makers of standards. In 2012, the Danish National Health Authorities introduced a set of health promotion guidelines that were mean…
Engaging the Social Texture of Internet Cancer Support Groups
Engaging issues of affectivity and embodiment in ethnographic fieldwork in mediated environments on the Internet, I will examine how ethnographic presence and affectivity is crucial to the production of ethnographic knowledge of the digitally mediated experience. Exploring social relations and negotiations in an extensive ethnographic fieldwork in several Internet cancer support groups, I discuss central epistemological challenges of ethnographic…
Encounters in Cancer Treatment
Based on extensive ethnographic material from in-depth interviews with Danish cancer patients after treatment, this study analyzes their stories to explore how interactions with the physician configures and situates a need for rehabilitation. We identify three themes in the illness stories: (1) attentiveness and care; (2) fragmentation and objectification; and (3) mistrust and dehumanization. These are all closely tied to the concept of recogniti…
