<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33);">This special issue of Somatechnics sets out to explore the lived and temporal experience of pre-diagnostic illness through the framework of ‘health hauntology’. Hauntology – a concept coined by Jacques Derrida
– presents an innovative framework for the study of new technologically enabled illness experiences as it problematises the binaries of ontological being and non-being, presence and absence. Instead, it engages with the potency, agency, and meaning of that
which is only seemingly absent, virtual, or non-present. Hauntology can, thus, be used to understand the current challenges to the hitherto dominant ontological way of thinking about the body, illness and health presented by biotechnological developments and
prognostics. The special issue is open to explorations of the hauntological aspects of temporally, relationally, and affectively complex illness experiences from an array of disciplines and perspectives.</span><span style="color: rgb(33, 33, 33);"> </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Calibri; color: rgb(33, 33, 33);"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
