Abstract:
This paper uses the circulation of drugs as a port of entry to understanding the fabric of pharmaceutical values. As they circulate, pharmaceuticals encounter a plurality of worlds ranging from the global spheres of transnational transactions to situated localities and their specific realities. Just as their motivations, means and practices of valuing are diverse and sometimes opposed, the resulting pharmaceutical values are multiple, variable and contested. Value making brings to light matters of exchange and money, therapeutic efficacy and toxicity, prescription modalities and epistemology, location and aesthetics, and ultimately corruption, risks and justice. This entanglement sets the ground for the definition and study of a grey political economy, which is qualified as interstitial, multivalent and sensitive to circumstances. This situation opens up a rich terrain for the exploration of the relation between drug circulation, modes of valuation and pharmaceutical values.
