The authors regret that in the section ‘Health and the life course’ on page 293 of the above mentioned article, gender pronouns were incorrectly used in the first paragraph. The online version of the article has been corrected. The paragraph should read as follows:
Questions of the relation between time and care, and in particular healthcare, emerge in our second section, and particularly in its first paper by Megh Marathe. In a discussion of clinical processes involved in diagnosing epileptic seizures, they show how internalized clock time norms inform clinicians in their daily practice of distinguishing between different representations of brain waves. In doing so, they argue, a set of aesthetics are assigned to brain waves in which clock-time norms are beautiful and hard-to-classify patterns are ugly. In turn, this aestheticization of time has material effects that cover over the labour and suffering of living with regular and unpredictable seizures. By showing how time shapes care, Marathe calls for a situated and collaborative process between clinicians and patients that can capture lived experiences in clinical care that otherwise remain occluded.
