The discussion within the first Multilogues on the Now series entitled On Health, aims to unravel the dominant narratives surrounding issues of health, sickness, healing and chronicity in today’s post-capitalist society. In the company of our guests we shall reflect upon the forms and impacts of a normative concept of health and ‘mandatory competency’, transformations in the forms and institutions of healthcare, and what possibilities exist to create such forms of (collective) care that would represent an alternative to privatised and corporate visions of health. We shall consider un/health in relation to the structural and economic conditions under which we live and the forms of chronicity that lead to social exclusion and neglect.
