Abstract

In her groundbreaking analysis of the ways in which different medical specialisms variously configure a disease and the body that suffers it, Annemarie Mol foregrounds the relationship between objects and the realities they enact. This chapter takes up this approach to investigate the rise and political effects of a new practice: carrying and sipping water from plastic bottles whilst on the move in urban space.
