Unlocking the ‘black box’ of time in healthcare: a new article published in Saúde e Sociedade

We are sharing an article published by the project, which explores certain aspects relating to the approach to the development or construction of temporalities in healthcare from a pragmatic perspective.

In this paper, we explore the social and material aspects involved in the organisation of time when clinical policies and practices are developed. Drawing on an analysis of material generated in this and other projects, we specifically examine the role of indices and statistics in their biopolitical dimension and the local role of contingent and regular arrangements in clinical practice. We conclude with some implications regarding the integration of a socio-material approach to understanding time in healthcare.
