New issue of Conjunctions. Transdisciplinary Journal of Cultural
Participation
Vol 8 No 1 (2021): Health, Media and Participation
This special issue, entitled “Health, Media and Participation”, consists
of seven articles that explore some of the different ways that media
participation and health participation intertwine in contemporary media
culture. In these seven articles, participation in health and media is
addressed in the analysis of a variety of practices: Patients that use
media to become participants in co-decision and self-care processes,
patients and citizens being more or less able to use media to engage in
(patient) communities, patients communicating with (and affecting)
institutions and authorities in new mediated ways, health professionals
using social media to create public awareness about politically urgent
issues and health professionals co-designing digital learning
technologies. The contributions are in this way united by taking an
interest in the democratic potentials and dilemmas of participating in
health through media participation. The issue also includes one open
section article by Vaia Doudaki and Nico Carpentier. The special issue
is edited by Maja Klausen, Anette Grønning and Carsten Stage.
