Moving Beyond Clinical Imaginaries
In this paper, we analyse the intersections between care and place in mundane spaces not explicitly designed for the provision of care, and where digital technologies are used to mediate ecologies of distress in the city. We locate our analysis alongside studies of how digital technologies impact the experience of care within non-clinical spaces, whilst noting that much research on the use of technologies for care remains haunted by clinical imag…
Immersive imaginaries
With the spread of digitalization, the spaces and imaginaries of healthcare are fundamentally changing, due, in part, to an increasing uptake of immersive technologies. Building on previous ethnographic work on the nature of placed care (Ivanova, 2020a; Simonsen, 2020) this paper explores two cases of immersive technology advances in the Netherlands and Denmark to better understand contemporary developments in digital healthcare, the virtual envi…
Articulating mobile gendered landscapes
This paper relates work on global neoliberal gendered labor to geographies of care and it provides a tangible example of culturally specific dimensions of the relationship between health and place. The context is a temporary work migration pattern of Bulgarian women in Italy, who provide 24/7, live-in care to elderly, often dying patients. Through a longitudinal ethnographic fieldwork, this paper illustrates how mobile gendered landscapes are art…
(Un)folding places with care
This paper is based on longitudinal ethnographic work among Bulgarian migrant women who work as live-in caregivers and domestic workers in Italian households and explores the analytical potential of place and place making for transmigration literature by conceptualizing the co-production of place with subjectivities. Such approach sensitizes to mundane practices of care and belonging, which actively create migratory lives of meaning. Drawing on D…
The Urban Lab
In the field of city-governance urban labs are being constructed as experimental spaces of knowledge production, innovation and urban governance. This perspective is mirrored in the majority of the literature engaging with the urban lab. However, empirical evidence shows that 'urban labs' are also constituted through imaginative work practices that remain unexplored in theory and practice. In order to address this gap and to delineate how these s…
Place-by-proxy
The concept of place has become fertile ground for sociological investigations, yet it is still undertheorized and in need of further development. Its most advanced employment is to be found within a sociological agenda on materialities of care and health architecture. In this article, we build on this work to conceptualize 'placed care' and to show how ecologies of care are produced and maintained through care infrastructures. The article invest…
Post-place care
With the advent of telecare and the logic of information technologies in health care, the idea of placeless care has taken root, capturing imaginations and promising placeless caring futures. This 'de-territorialisation of care' has been challenged by studies of care practices 'on the ground', showing that care is always (materially) placed. Yet, while sociological scholarship has taken the role of place seriously, there is little conceptual atte…
Care in place
In this article we analyse the process of the multiple ways place and care shape each other and are co-produced and co-functioning. The resulting emerging assemblage of this co-constituent process we call a carescape. Focusing on a case study of a nursing home on a Dutch island, we use place as a theoretical construct for analysing how current changes in healthcare governance interact with mundane practices of care. In order to make the patterns …
