Abstract
Estados Mórbidos. Desgaste Corporal en la Vida Contemporánea (Morbid States. Corporal Wear and Tear in Contemporary Life) is a feminist ethnography on the Central Sensitization Syndrome (CSS) −a disruption of nerve centres which causes chronic diseases such as fibromyalgia and chronic-fatigue. Méndez de la Brena takes distance from the hegemonic medical approach, and embraces an anthropological and a gender perspective to investigate the handling of the diseases and unravels new forms of resistance. The book can be briefly defined as a necro-political analysis of the disease in its material existence and of the production of knowledge and practices of resistance of women in a neoliberal context.
