CfP EASST/4S 2020 - Environmentalities of Health Security
Dear list members, <br> <br>Apologies for cross-posting. <br> <br>Please consider submitting a paper proposal to the EASST/4S open panel: <br>#57 Environmentalities of Health Security <br> <br>Convenors: <br>Carolin Mezes, Philipps-University Marburg <br>Sven Opitz, Philipps-University Marburg <br> <br>Discourses of Global Health Security are saturated with buzzwords like <br>“holism”, “comprehensive approaches”, or “systems thinking” and <br>increasingly push concepts that make a strong case about the <br>ecological and environmental aspects of health, like “Planetary <br> Health” or “One Health”. Concerns about the circulation of <br>antibiotics through sewage systems and soils, the proliferation of <br>vector populations due to rising temperatures,or the conveyance of <br>“invasive species” through logistical infrastructures are just some <br>cases that point to what we observe as a rearticulation of health <br>threats in environmental terms. In our panel we would firstly <br>like todeepen the understanding of such a (re-)actualized <br>environmental orientation, and secondly do so by investigating <br>how it corresponds with transformations of the security apparatus <br>designed to tackle health crises. We suggest focusing on the <br>governmental, technical and scientific means that address disease <br>emergencies as a matter of ecology. Correspondingly, we invite papers <br>to address the following questions: How do techno-political devices <br>and legal protocols transcribe the changing <br>spatio-temporal constitution of disease into an <br>administrative topology? What calculative machineries, such as <br>seemingly trivial paperwork technologies, sensing devices or <br>computer simulations draw together epidemic environments and enact <br>ecological concerns for health security? What techno-scientific <br>interventions, from finance schemes over sentinel systems to <br>microbial engineering, are put to the field? Using these questions for <br>investigating a broad range of phenomena, we hope to clarify whether <br>and how contemporary apparatuses of health security intertwine with an <br>ecosystem view on disease. <br> <br> <br>Application until Feb 29th via <br>https://www.easst4s2020prague.org/call-for-papers-and-panels/ <br> <br>Please direct any inquiries to Carolin Mezes <br>(carolin.mezes@staff.uni-marburg.de). <br> <br>Best regards, <br>Kevin Hall <br> <br>_______________________________________________ <br>EASST's Eurograd mailing list <br>Eurograd (at) lists.easst.net <br>Unsubscribe or edit subscription options: http://lists.easst.net/listinfo.cgi/eurograd-easst.net <br> <br>Meet us via https://twitter.com/STSeasst <br> <br>Report abuses of this list to Eurograd-owner@lists.easst.netview formatted text
