Pre-circulation of paper drafts (3.000 words): May 4, 2025
Experimentations with pharmaceutical substances cradle queer potential
bodies and organisms transform, relations shift, emotions swell or fade into
quietude. With capacities to intervene in lifes processes, drugs and
medicines are not merely products of Big Pharma, but agents of uncanny
possibility. How might we imagine minor pharmas in tension with or on the
margins of the dominance, epitomized by the capitalized Big? Taking Queer
Pharma as a counterpoint, this workshop invites submissions that
ethnographically engage with uncertainties and improvisations in
experimenting with bodies, substances, and affects whether through drug
use or other pharmaceutical practices (Race 2009, 2018). What new material
and affective constellations might emerge if we were to focus on
experimentation as a queer practice?
