This insightful ebook, Survivorship: A Sociology of Cancer in Everyday Life (PDF), offers a cutting-edge and in-depth exploration of the lived experience of cancer. Rooted in qualitative research conducted with cancer patients, their relatives, and healthcare professionals, this work delves into the complex and often profound impacts of cancer on individuals, families, and communities alike. The text focuses on the dynamic and multifaceted nature of survivorship, addressing key themes such as social relationships surrounding waiting and uncertainty, the notions of obligation and responsibility, and the interplay of hope and healing throughout the cancer journey.
Going beyond conventional narratives of survivorship, this book employs a rich tapestry of qualitative methodologies, including interviews, focus groups, participant-generated photographs, and solicited diaries. It offers a critical lens on survivorship by engaging with both contemporary and classical social theories. Through this multifaceted approach, it brings to light core sociological debates regarding individual agency, subjectivity, temporality, resistance, normativity, affect, and embodiment.

Narrated by individuals who are grappling with the realities of cancer—as well as those who support them—this book sets forth innovative pathways for understanding survivorship.
