Introduction: The Sociology of Chronic and Disabling Conditions; Assaults on the Lifeworld

Scambler, Graham, Scambler, Sasha·2010·New Directions in the Sociology of Chronic and Disabling Conditions

Abstract

Contributions to the sociology of chronic and disabling conditions might be considered to have entered a transitional phase. It is generally accepted that Western modernity has been characterized by a considerably extended human lifespan accompanied by a growing prevalence of chronic, degenerative disorders; a ‘compression of morbidity’ in the fourth age (Fries, 1983); and a norm of slow as opposed to quick dying. Chronic and disabling conditions, in other words, have become highly significant objects of investigation, attracting increasing politico-economic as well as social, psychological and, of course, biological attention. Their salience has precipitated divisions of orientation, most conspicuously, but not only, between medical sociologists and disability theorists. The fact that these divisions are currently under debate justifies our reference to a ‘transitional phase’. It also underpins the rationale for this book.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
