Thematic Focus: Ambivalences of Healing Cooperations in Biomedical Settings
Edited by Cornelius Schubert & Ehler Voss

With the present thematic focus the editors Cornelius Schubert & Ehler Voss build on their concept of Healing Cooperations first introduced in Curare 41 (2018) 1+2. In that issue healing was understood as a practice of co-operation of human and nonhuman actors whose negotiations engender ambivalences that continously elude the many attempts atune quivocal definition thus often resulting inruptures. The present issue devotes four texts to the specific ambivalences of healing cooperations in various contemporary biomedical settings demonstrating how those ambivalences are individually negotiated within this ever-shifting field between bodies and technologies.
