*NEW BOOK:/Networked Cancer. Affect, Narrative and Measurement /*
by Carsten Stage, Associate Professor, School of Communication and Culture, Aarhus University, Denmark
(http://www.palgrave.com/gp/book/9783319514178#otherversion=9783319514185)

The book investigates how individual cancer narratives change in an age of networked social media. Through a range of case studies, it shows that a new type of entrepreneurial cancer narrative is currently evolving and offers a theoretical framework for analyzing and critically discussing this development. The chapters examine the importance of connective action, biological citizenship, experimental selfies, dark affects, rhythm and new commemorative practices for understanding these entrepreneurial cancer narratives. The study will be of great interest to scholars of media and cultural studies, as well as those interested in narrative medicine, health communication, affect and patient participation.
