CfP: ‘Living with Microbes’ panel at the EASA Conference, 21-24 July 2020 in Lisbon
Living with Microbes panel at the EASA Conference, 21-24 July 2020 in <br>Lisbon <br> <br>We will be hosting the panel Living with Microbes in the upcoming EASA <br>Conference, to be celebrated in Lisbon, 21-24 July 2020 in Lisbon, Portugal. <br>The theme of the conference is New anthropological horizons in and beyond <br>Europe, and you can find the general call for papers here: <br>https://easaonline.org/conferences/easa2020/cfp <br> <br>Panel abstract <br> <br>This panel explores emerging ecologies in and around microbes. Novel findings <br>about the ubiquitousness of microbes within bodies and environments, has <br>illuminated new multi-species relationalities. While antibiotics are <br>simultaneously increasingly becoming redundant due to drug resistance, modern <br>medicine is at the risk of being turned back by a century. In this era, we <br>argue, it is vital to gain a more granular view of the various practices of <br>relation-making between humans, animals and microbes. While these changes have <br>often been conceptualized as turns in human-microbe relations (Paxson, 2008; <br>Lorimer, 2017), this panel invites papers that think about how various new and <br>old notions about microbes overlap rather than superseed each other, producing <br>spaces for microbial sociality to manifest in novel ways. Topics could <br>include, but are not limited to, examples of the following: - Studies of novel <br>biotechnologies of pre- and probiotic tools - Biographies of antibiotics, <br>bacteriophages and diagnostics, the pharmaceutical industry and other R&D <br>endeavours - How are novel subjectivities and national programmes constructed <br>through microbiome research and as targets of AMR related activities, policies <br>and research? - How are resistomes and microbiotas explored and compared? - <br>The flows of resistance embedded in more-than-human social forms involving <br>humans, animals, and the environment - How do people live with microbes in <br>fermentation? - How is immunity and well-being thought about in the absence of <br>antibiotics? - How boundaries of human and nonhuman bodies are un/made by the <br>bacteria that flow between environments and bodies? <br> <br>Please send your abstract (max 250 words) using the EASA submission system by <br>20 January 2020. To do this, find our session in the list of <br>panels and click on <br>Propose paper. You can find more instructions in the general call for papers <br>linked above. <br> <br>We look forward to reading your submissions! <br> <br>Convenors: <br>Salla Sariola (University of Helsinki) <br>Matthus Rest (Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History) <br>Charlotte Brives (CNRS CED-UMR5116) <br>Jose A.
