ABSTRACT
‘Rethinking Health: From What it Means to How it Becomes’ starts by considering how health and health has traditionally been understood and approached in health geography to date; ranging from focusing on aspects that are measurable and locatable, to things that are socially constructed and meaningful. It is argued that research currently pays attention to the spatial contexts that are thought to be actively engaged by individuals where and when health and health care arises; however that, by using NRT, research might also move beyond this and think processually about the composition and working of assemblages through which health arises and is performed. Finally, some indications are given as to precedent, to how assemblage thinking has been employed in more-than-representational health geographies to date.
