Narratives of wellbeing[electronic resource] /edited by Tarryn Phillips ... [et al.]. - Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :2024. - xix, 239 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

1. Interrogating wellbeing through a narrative frame -- 2. Wellbeing in a world of want -- 3. Secularisation, wellness industries, and nonreligious spiritual health care -- 4. Narratives of health and wellness in the construction of place: The case of Palm -- 5. Narrativising spirituality, wellness, and planetary wellbeing -- 6. Uprooting and grounding: Migrant gardeners, urban food cultivation, and cultural wellbeing -- 7. Living through back-to-back public health crises in Samoa: Mutual narrative creation and research practices -- 8. From sickness unto life: How community and belonging can bolster wellbeing during serious illness and end-of-life care -- 9. 'Uncle Lou turning over': Demedicalising wellbeing through the trans-masculine community archives -- 10. Gutpela sindaun: Narratives of wellbeing in the Autonomous Region of Bougainville -- 11. The land is life: Contesting food security and development initiatives through gendered narratives of wellbeing in urban and peri-urban Vanuatu -- 12. Answering the call: Narrative of authenticity, identity, and connection in 'wellness tourism' advertising -- 13. From magical thinking to being 'pragmagic': Narratives of wellbeing in health and social care in England.

This book critically interrogates 'wellbeing', a concept that is exploding in popularity across the globe. The collection of essays asks not only how wellbeing can be defined and measured, but what is created and excluded in the process of striving for and articulating wellbeing. The editors propose a narrative framework as a novel and insightful lens through which to analyse wellbeing and understand how the "good life" is sought, experienced and talked about. With case studies from around the world, the contributions explore the tensions and overlaps between various scripts about what it means to live well-historically, socially, culturally, economically, and spiritually. The collection brings together a rich array of disciplinary perspectives, including: sociology, politics, anthropology, history, indigenous studies, religious studies, development studies, paediatric medicine, and gender and sexuality studies. The diversity of chapters make the book accessible and appealing, not only to scholars and students of wellbeing in the health and social science disciplines, but also to a broader public readership intrigued by the rise and impact of a buzzword. Tarryn Phillips is a medical anthropologist and Associate Professor of Crime, Justice and Legal Studies in the Department of Social Inquiry at La Trobe University, Australia. Natalie Araújo is Lecturer in Anthropology and Development Studies in the Department of Social Inquiry at La Trobe University, Australia. Timothy Willem Jones is Associate Professor of History in the Department of Archaeology and History at La Trobe University, Australia. John Taylor (Jack) is Associate Professor and Anthropology Program Convenor in the Department of Social Inquiry at La Trobe University, Australia.
