97. Time-Scapes of Toxicity

How does time play out in toxicity? While ideas of “the Anthropocene” and
“slow disaster” urge consideration of hazards along much longer
timeframes, the multiplicity and simultaneity of temporal scales—of humans,
natures, and materials such as plastics, pesticides, or radiation—complicate
the ways actors and researchers comprehend time within and across polluted
sites.
Time-scapes connect with land- and socio-scapes. On the one hand,
acknowledgment of toxicity develops at different times in different regions,
and industries strategically shift extraction and manufacturing to navigate
costs and regulation. On the other hand, human actions bring about new
openings and closures to toxicity – for instance, when actors reframe
asbestos as a present-day environmental hazard, rather than occupational
hazard “of the past” to mobilize attention and intervention.
We welcome papers exploring questions such as: Where in time do actors locate
risks, and what work does that do? Where are places located in relation to
time-scapes of toxins? In what ways do actors make sense of temporal scales in
polluted sites, and work to open and close problems of toxicity? How do
temporal boundaries relate to efforts to manage hazards and enact safety? How
does temporal locating of risk, shift public priorities or felt experiences of
being “at risk” or safe? How do actors and could researchers comprehend a
longue durée of hazards? By asking these questions, this panel contributes to
the understanding of transnationality of knowledge production, technological
inventions and usages, and regulation and activism about hazards – through
thinking across temporal and spatial boundaries.
