A Conversation on the Plastic and Plasticity with Professor Catherine Malabou and Professor Ranjan Ghosh
Shame and Medicine
No abstract
Shame-Sensitive Public Health
In this article, we argue that shaming interventions and messages during Covid-19 have drawn the relationship between public health and shame into a heightened state of contention, offering us a valuable opportunity to reconsider shame as a desired outcome of public health work, and to push back against the logics of individual responsibility and blame for illness and disease on which it sits. We begin by defining shame and demonstrating how it i…
In the same storm but not the same boat
Asbestos
Asbestos has long been a staple lesson for the precautionary principle. As a toxic material, it is often something people hope not to encounter. But before this, it often appeared as a substance of hope, carrying the promise of safety and economic rewards. This article uses these conflicting accounts of asbestos's hope as a starting point for thinking about the conditions of hazardous hope. Turning to a vignette about an asbestos facility in Mike…
A Sartrean analysis of pandemic shaming
In this paper, we analyse the particular phenomena of COVID-19 pandemic shaming. We examine Sartre’s account of the undifferentiated other in the experience of ‘the look’, and his insistence on shame as a foundational relational affect, in order to give a robust theoretical frame to understand how pandemic shaming circulated both online and offline, in targeted and diffuse manners. We focus on two features of pandemic shaming. First, we draw atte…
Shame, Guilt, and Medical Error in Ann Patchett's State of Wonder

Recovering Franz Kafka's Asbestos Factory
This article recalls Franz Kafka’s part ownership of the asbestos factory, Prague Asbestwerke Hermann & Co. to introduce two forms of literary recovery, exemplified by Alan Bennett’s 1985 television play, The Insurance Man, and James Kelman’s 1994 novel, How late it was, how late. Both works develop divergent politicized styles, based on their respective readings of Kafka’s life and work. Rather than simply recuperating Kafka from this biographem…
Beckett, Barthes and Breath
This essay develops a tense relation between Samuel Beckett and Roland Barthes over their treatment of breath. If Barthes's lovers come together through a shared breath, breaths pull Beckett's couples apart. How then might breath bring Beckett and Barthes together, so they might be close but not too close? The essay first discards the idea of using a single understanding of breath by showing how the localized instances of breath in Beckett and Ba…
Postapartheid Ephemerality in Marlene van Niekerk’s Triomf
In the wake of the Fees Must Fall movements in South Africa, there was renewed criticism of Nelson Mandela’s conception of the “Rainbow Nation” in his 1994 inaugural address. This essay considers how, from its moment of utterance, the metaphor was never allowed to communicate its more positive affordances: the recognition that processes of transition are frequently buoyed up by ephemeral moments, whose usefulness is encoded in their very transien…
Tim Winton’s Pneumatic Materialism
The somatic effects of empire can be found in Tim Winton's "pneumatic materialism", an aesthetic preoccupation in his novels with moments of anoxia, or the deprivation of oxygen to the brain. This essay will consider how Winton's novel engage with pneumatic materialism in response to questions of uneven development traditionally associated with the Global South, thereby disrupting clear South-North distinctions. By blurring his concerns across th…
Keri Hulme's Breath Poetics
Breath plays a small, but important, role in the work of Keri Hulme. My interest in this essay is to consider what happens when Hulme's representation of breath is brought into conversation with the respiratory poetics of modernism, modernist anthropology, and planetary modernism to address Hulme's contribution to an Aotearoa New Zealand modernism. This conversation is played out in Keri Hulme's treatment of hau or ‘breath’. The essay argues that…
Asbestos populism in David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest
This essay considers the changing relationship between asbestos and populism, as both terms travel across different semantic contexts. It argues that this dynamic relationship can help to outline a populist ecology, through which resource actors such as asbestos play a more significant role than either populist leaders or their people anticipate. Drawing on David Foster Wallace’s Infinite Jest as a site for examining the implications of this asbe…
Shame-to-cynicism conversion in The Citadel and The House of God
This article considers the dynamics of shame and cynicism in A J Cronin's The Citadel (1937) and Samuel Shem's The House of God (1978). The protagonists of both novels are forced into shameful situations. Their response to these situations is increased cynicism. This results in a feedback loop: cynicism begets shame, which, in turn, causes more cynicism. Drawing on Bonnie Mann's work on shame-to-power conversion, the article suggests that the nov…
Coal politics
This article considers how we might receive Émile Zola’s Germinal (1885) in the Anthropocene. Recent Anthropocene literary criticism has frequently turned to various forms of reception when presenting new accounts of texts written prior to general public knowledge of anthropogenic climate change, but it seldom considers how this reception might be enriched by debates in Philosophy of History. Zola himself anticipates how Anthropocene Reading migh…
Exacerbations
Disrupted breath, songlines of breathlessness
Health research is often bounded by disciplinary expertise. While cross-disciplinary collaborations are often forged, the analysis of data which draws on more than one discipline at the same time is underexplored. Life of Breath, a 5-year project funded by the Wellcome Trust to understand the clinical, historical and cultural phenomenology of the breath and breathlessness, brings together an interdisciplinary team, including medical humanities sc…
Alcohol’s Acute Effect on Food Intake Is Mediated by Inhibitory Control Impairments
Breath in the technoscientific imaginary
Breath has a realist function in most artistic media. It serves to remind the reader, the viewer or the spectator of the exigencies of the body. In science fiction (SF) literature and films, breath is often a plot device for human encounters with otherness, either with alien peoples, who may not breathe oxygen, or environments, where there may not be oxygen to breathe. But while there is a technoscientific quality to breath in SF, especially in i…

An Estimate of the Effect of Common Currencies on Trade and Income
To quantify the implications of common currencies for trade and income, we use data for over 200 countries and dependencies. In our two-stage approach, estimates at the first stage suggest that belonging to a currency union/board triples trade with other currency union members. Moreover, there is no evidence of trade diversion. Our estimates at the second stage suggest that every 1 percent increase in a country's overall trade (relative to GDP) r…
