The Chronopolitics of Life represents an important, timely and novel contribution in the fields of anthropology and social sciences of medicine. By examining the concept of chronopolitics, this interdisciplinary collection explores the coproduction of temporalities, power relations and inequalities in health governance.

The book offers an original perspective on how temporalities shape the embodiment of health-related inequalities, at both the beginning and the end of life. The book provides empirical examples of how technoscientific and biomedical endeavours reconfigure the temporalities of life, as well as describing how time becomes a resource that is unequally distributed. By investigating lived experiences, the authors reveal how specific temporal regimes can lead to discrimination on the basis of age, race, gender, (dis)ability and sexual orientation. This differentially shapes the experiences of ill-health, biomedical practices, the governing of bodies, biographies and the life course.
