Abstract:
Historical and anthropological analyses of biomedicine have in recent years highlighted various global trajectories by which health has become capitalized. The papers trace these entanglements in order to consider the making of valuable health and its diverse political economies as historical and anthropological problems. Our animating assumption is that value is a polyvalent concept. It speaks to market value (which entails use and exchange but, when legible to capital, becomes self-valorizing, entering the relentless generation of surplus), to practices of production, and to epistemic and normative choices. The papers in this special issue attend to moments at which value gets made in its multiple forms, through the consolidation, contestation or imagination of certain kinds of markets.
