Multiple domesticities
This study explores the concept of the domestic within the One Health approach by examining how human-animal-environment relations shape health and survival in everyday life. Drawing on ethnographic research conducted in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Nigeria, and Côte d’Ivoire during the rainy and dry seasons of 2022-2023, we explore how the domestic is continually produced through multispecies relationality of care, ecology, and biopolitics.…
Child and adolescent foraging
Young children and adolescents in subsistence societies forage for a wide range of resources. They often target child-specific foods, they can be very successful foragers, and they share their produce widely within and outside of their nuclear family. At the same time, while foraging, they face risky situations and are exposed to diseases that can influence their immune development. However, children's foraging has largely been explained in light…
Communicating risk during early phases of Covid-19
Background: Emergency risk communication (ERC) is key to achieving compliance with public health measures during pandemics. Yet, the factors that facilitated ERC during COVID-19 have not been analyzed. We compare ERC in the early stages of the pandemic across four socio-economic settings to identify how risk communication can be improved in public health emergencies (PHE). Methods: To map and assess the content, process, actors, and context of ER…
Ebola separations
The Ebola outbreak in West Africa involved the introduction of new forms of social and physical separation that aimed to curtail the spread of the disease. People changed the ways they lived to avoid contact with those who might be sick. A suite of governmental instruments was introduced, ranging from by-laws and public health campaigns to the use of specialist treatment centres and military force. These events transformed social connections and …
Shadowlands and dark corners
Viral haemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) persist in darkness. The pathogenicity of viruses like Lassa, Marburg, and Ebola is partly explained by their ability to survive on surfaces outside their infected hosts, provided they are not exposed to heat, disinfecting chemicals, or ultraviolet light. Taking these basic virological insights as our starting point, we seek to elaborate ethnographically the links between disease transmission and gradations of lum…
Rat-atouille
Lassa fever is a zoonotic hemorrhagic illness predominant in areas across Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia, and southern Mali. The reservoir of Lassa virus is the multimammate mouse (Mastomys natalensis), a highly commensal species in West Africa. Primary transmission to humans occurs through direct or indirect contact with rodent body fluids such as urine, feces, saliva, or blood. Our research draws together qualitative and quantitative me…
Nosotras parimos ¿Nosotras decidimos en la atención sanitaria embarazo, parto y puerperio? (Maribel Blázquez Rodríguez)
Nosotras Parimos ¿Nosotras decidimos en la atención sanitaria al embarazo, parto y puerperio?, es la publicación de la investigación que María Isabel Blázquez Rodríguez realizó para su tesis doctoral1, la cual fue premiada con el Premio de Investigación Victoria Kent que convoca el Seminario de Estudios Interdisciplinarios de la Mujer de la Universidad de Málaga, en su edición de 2009
