04. Assemblages Transformations and the Politics of Care
a cura di Sylvie Fortin, Massimiliano Minelli, Ivo Quaranta
This volume presents a selection of the contributions to the Medical Anthropology at Home (MAAH) conference Assemblages transformations and the politics of care that took place in Bertinoro Italy 2014.

Their shared aim is to problematize both curing and caring as embodied cultural processes investigating how forms of biosociality control and subjectification are configured in socially situated and culturally specific terms. Together they show how care is both extremely fragile as an analytical concept as well as exceptionally productive in questioning the very processes involved in our being human. Ivo Quaranta is Professor in Cultural and Medical Anthropology at the University of Bologna (Italy). He
