Abstract
This paper analyses the role of "hope" in biomedicine. In this sense, we put forward that this concept is a time-space construction around the idea of uncertain- ty. We pose that a new regime of hope is being built against the classic regime of truth in the biomedical arena. This new regime is ambivalent. It can shows neoliberal values, in the official medical practice, or becomes a sort of resistance dispositive in the case of patient associations. Patients, through hope, build the time and space of their own disease, they improve their agency upon the medical practices of their body also and they, finally, appropriate biomedical discourse.
