Abstract

Chronic illness research has extensively explored biographical disruptions and identity reconstruction but has often overlooked the role of social background in illness management. This study investigates how class-related attributes shape the ways individuals cope with chronic conditions by examining Long Covid as a case study. Drawing on sociology of socialization methodology, this research shifts from interpretive approaches toward a materialist perspective on illness as a socially differentiated experience.
