Zusammenfassung:"Non-representational theory is an academic approach that animates the active world; its taking-place. It shows how material, sensory and affective processes combine with conscious thought and agency in the making of everyday life. This book offers an agenda for health geography, providing the first comprehensive overview of what a more-than-representational health geography looks like. It outlines the basis of a new ontological understanding of health, and explores the key qualities of movement-space that are critical to how health emerges within the assemblages that enable it. It shows how non-representational events and concerns are key to human happiness and wellbeing, to the experience of health and disease, to activities that add to or detract from health andto health care work, not to mention to the broader initiatives and operation of health institutions and health sciences.???This book bridges the gap between non-representational theory and health research, and provides the groundwork for future developments in the field. It will be of interest to students, researchers and professionals alike working in health, geography and a range of other disciplines."--Provided by publisher
