Call for Papers – Open Panel ‘New Social Forms of the Post-Antibiotic Era’ at the 4S Conference, 2019 in New Orleans
Dear all, <br> <br>we would like to invite abstract proposals to our open panel in the next 4S <br>Conference, which will take place in New Orleans between the 4th and 7th of <br>September, 2019. The deadline for submission is on the 1st of February, 2019. <br>Find below the abstract to our panel. More information about the conference <br>and the submission can be found following this <br>link. <br> <br>Title: New Social Forms of the Post-Antibiotic Era: More-than-Human Hybrids, <br>Governance and Knowledge of Human-Microbe Relations <br> <br>Abstract: <br> <br>During the past decade, microbes have come to occupy new and central spaces in <br>scientific enquiry as well as their social analysis. As microbes mutate, <br>adapt and evolve towards resistance to antibiotics, there is mounting pressure <br>to search for new ways of preventing illness. While antibiotics are no longer <br>readily available to do their magic, new social forms that enable peaceful <br>coexistence with microbes are emerging, instead of a war against microbes that <br>Pasteur established and Latour documented in Pasteurisation of France. <br>Societies are rethinking relationships between humans, animals, and <br>environment in radically new ways, e.g. by building immunity through <br>fermentation or enhancement of gut microbiota; development of vaccines, phage <br>therapy or novel antibiotics; and promotion of sustainable food production. In <br>this process, drug resistance is not only framed as a medical concern but also <br>social, economic and political. <br> <br>Re-situation of microbes is present in biomedical research and care, policy <br>and governance, and everyday practices. STS offers tools to regenerate <br>understanding of microbes; interruptions caused by the absence of efficient <br>medical countermeasures; and innovative practices that emerge as a result. <br>This panel puts microbes at the centre of social analysis and opens up new <br>avenues for thinking about microbial knowledge, governance, and <br>more-than-human relations. <br> <br>We welcome presentations focusing on, among others: <br> <br> <br> * Practices where traditional narratives about microbes are subverted; <br> * Formation of more-than-human hybrids including microbial forms of life; <br> * Governance practices and strategies aimed at regulating microbial <br>relations; <br> * New communities of knowledge around new practices with microbes. <br>We look forward to your proposals! <br> <br>Best regards, <br> <br>Salla Sariola, salla.sariola (at) helsinki.fi, @SallaSariola <br>Jose A.
