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.
