CfP EASST/4S 2020 - Environmentalities of Health Security
Dear list members,
Apologies for cross-posting.
Please consider submitting a paper proposal to the EASST/4S open panel:
#57 Environmentalities of Health Security
Convenors:
Carolin Mezes, Philipps-University Marburg
Sven Opitz, Philipps-University Marburg
Discourses of Global Health Security are saturated with buzzwords like
“holism”, “comprehensive approaches”, or “systems thinking” and
increasingly push concepts that make a strong case about the
ecological and environmental aspects of health, like “Planetary
Health” or “One Health”. Concerns about the circulation of
antibiotics through sewage systems and soils, the proliferation of
vector populations due to rising temperatures,or the conveyance of
“invasive species” through logistical infrastructures are just some
cases that point to what we observe as a rearticulation of health
threats in environmental terms. In our panel we would firstly
like todeepen the understanding of such a (re-)actualized
environmental orientation, and secondly do so by investigating
how it corresponds with transformations of the security apparatus
designed to tackle health crises. We suggest focusing on the
governmental, technical and scientific means that address disease
emergencies as a matter of ecology. Correspondingly, we invite papers
to address the following questions: How do techno-political devices
and legal protocols transcribe the changing
spatio-temporal constitution of disease into an
administrative topology? What calculative machineries, such as
seemingly trivial paperwork technologies, sensing devices or
computer simulations draw together epidemic environments and enact
ecological concerns for health security? What techno-scientific
interventions, from finance schemes over sentinel systems to
microbial engineering, are put to the field? Using these questions for
investigating a broad range of phenomena, we hope to clarify whether
and how contemporary apparatuses of health security intertwine with an
ecosystem view on disease.
