Interembodiment beyond kin
Confronting standards-making in food safety
In 2012, the Beijing First Intermediate Court's ruling reignited public controversy over a 2010 revision of China's national raw milk standard. A consumer rights activist filed an open information application, requesting that China's Ministry of Health disclose meeting minutes related to the revision. His request hinged on public perception that China's dairy corporations helped lower quality and safety thresholds for domestic raw milk supplies, …
Maternal microbis
Reading across a burgeoning scientific literature that conflates microbial dynamics between mother:child bodies with normative mothering practices, we offer a model of maternal microbis that troubles the distinctions between productive and reproductive relations. We ground this argument in a systematic analysis of the content and circulation of descriptive maternal microbiome research between 2007 and 2021 along with the proliferation of lay narr…
Weighing the value of femininity
This article examines the intersections of femininity, labor, fatness and maternity. Specifically, this article explores Atlantic City’s casinos’ treatment of women cocktail servers, arguing that personal Appearance Standards (PAS) are a site of conflict that demonstrates the importance of expanding how femininity is embodied and valued in the workplace. Through a close reading of promotional materials, media coverage, and public lawsuit material…
Missing Microbes and Other Gendered Microbiopolitics in Bovine Fermentation
Dairy science's focus on the rumen's fermenting role in converting plant-based foods into energy and protein for milk production highlights industrial agriculture's interest in bovine bodies as commodity producers. Attention to cows' productive labor has meant not only a rise in on-farm practices that ignore their reproductive labor but, as important, that of the gendered bovine milk microbiota writ large. Analyzing the microbiopolitics of such f…
Heritage hands and tastes of the pandemic
The revitalization of fermentation projects during COVID-19 raises questions about the preservation of the pandemic's material and ephemeral effects - a topic that heritage policy is well equipped to engage. These activities also emphasize the necessity of engaging with heritage practices as a kind of care, encompassing both methods of safekeeping and practices of empathy. In addition, heritage ferments prove "good to think" around themes of loss…
Te rangahau o te tuakiri Māori me ngā waiaro ā-pūtea | The Māori identity and financial attitudes study (mifas) - Background, theoretical orientation and first-wave response rates
How does cultural identity matter for Mori economic decision-making? Te Rangahau o Te Tuakiri Mori me Ng Waiaro -Ptea | The Mori Identity and Financial Attitudes Study (MIFAS) aims to address this question. The MIFAS is the first large-scale (n = 7,019) nationwide study of Mori aged 18 and over that aims to correlate personal cultural beliefs and practices to economic choices. This article describes the theoretical underpinnings of the MIFAS in i…
(Re)making quality in China’s dairy industry
Quality in the food industry is viewed at once as both a standard of excellence to be reached and as an attribute, characteristic, or property to be imbued in products and people. In contemporary China, quality is further divided into suzhi or “human” quality reserved to describe embodied characteristics with a range of other terms used to describe the attributes of institutions, objects, and other non-human entities. This article explores how va…
Gender, Microbial Relations, and the Fermentation of Food1
Fermentation is the product of microbial relations that mediate, or foment, relationships between bodies and food products. Using cases of food fermentation made with microbes from ruminants' stomachs and women's vaginas, we denaturalize the idea of bodies' mammalian capacity as linked to particular food relations and explore the traction of gendered ideologies that order exchanges between microbial life to result in such food. This essay first o…
Multimodality, Transparency, and Food Safety in China
In September 2008, revelation of melamine-contaminated milk supplies in China's dairy industry rocked its manufacturing sector still reeling from highly publicized food and safety scandals in 2007. Despite state and corporate interventions, regulatory and quality management issues highlighted in these earlier scandals remained. Local government and corporate actors' attempts to suppress information about the scandal highlighted concerns about tra…
Pasteurizing China's Grasslands and Sealing inTerroir
Technical innovations such as ultra-high temperature processing and aseptic packaging increase liquid milk's portability and its safety, making milk available to more consumers worldwide than in the past. Although intended to seal out threats to human health, these procedures also seal in other qualities. Drawing on ethnographic research with four of China's national dairy corporations and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region's certification offi…
The mutability of melamine
This article focuses on the 2008 global dairy scandal sparked by the distribution of milk adulterated with the industrial chemical melamine in the People's Republic of China. In China, roughly 300,000 children were suspected of having melamine‐related illnesses and six children died. Subsequent court proceedings showed that the addition of melamine to the nation's milk supply was an open secret in the industry. Just months before, Western media h…
Posttraumatic stress, anxiety, and depression in survivors of severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars)
This study examines the psychological impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) in 195 adult patients in Hong Kong. The Impact of Event Scale-Revised and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were administered to patients 1 month after their discharge. Of the participants 10% to 18% reported symptoms related to posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety, and depression. Symptom severity was associated with high perceived life threat and low …
