Figure 5.4
The topology-typology twist. Tensions among bodies, biographies and classificationthe twisted landscape
of multiple and classifications. The topology created by the body-biography trajectory is pulled against the
idealized, standardized typology of the global classification of tuberculosis, itself a broken and moving target.
When standard classifications are added to the scheme, patients try to fit their experiences along both body and
biographical trajectories to a standard picture of metric. Changing definitions, local arrangements, and complex
relations of all three trajectories contribute to torquing the typology/topography via the dotted lines, which
represent negotiations.
