EASST +4S Call for Abstracts
- apologies for cross-posting *
We warmly invite abstract submissions for our open panel at the EASST+4S
Conference 2020 (https://www.easst4s2020prague.org/) in Prague (18-21 August
2020). The panel is entitled "Acknowledging residues: the (un)-making of an
environmental concern".
Convenors:
Signe Mikkelsen (Department of Social Anthropology, University of Oslo)
Franziska Klaas (Department of Social Anthropology, University of Oslo)
Discussant: Susanne Bauer (Centre for Technology, Innovation and Culture,
University of Oslo)
Panel abstract:
Residues are reduced and transformed remnants of formerly present materials,
events, or actions. Frequently associated with chemicals, pesticides, and
waste, they are also the result of discard and excess, sticky - yet unruly -
bordering both the visible and the invisible. A consequence of past and
present material legacies, they pervade and persist in environments, humans,
and non-humans alike, carrying with them potentially hazardous or toxic
afterlives.
Yet, residues do not always emerge as environmental concerns - nor as bodily,
political, or material ones. Rather, they are often a (non)-concern, sometimes
evading recognition and response, despite their ubiquitous presence.
This open panel invites contributors to critically engage with the question of
when, how, and to whom residues become a concern. It asks under what
circumstances particular forms of residue might rise to levels of
acknowledgement and political engagement - thereby constituting a call for
action - while other forms of residues are silenced, muted, or overlooked.
Attending to the practices, politics, histories, and technologies that go into
the making of residues as concerns, it wishes to remain attentive to the
(potentially) hazardous materialisations of residues and their ecological and
embodied outcomes. This means acknowledging past legacies as well as lasting
effects and generated inequalities. This allows for a careful engagement with
potential threats embedded within these issues as with political possibilities
that might arise from such recognition.
Submission information:
