Anthropology, Comics, and Graphic Narratives
In the past decade, anthropologists have taken up drawing—more specifically, comics and graphic narratives—as an object of study, a mode of inquiry, a pedagogical tool, and a medium through which to share anthropological ideas. This review examines the graphic turn in anthropology. As part of a wider turn to multimodal and nontraditional modes of research and scholarship, anthropologists are both using drawing practices in their field research an…
The Commons as Accumulation Strategy
On June 13, 2013, the US Supreme Court unanimously ruled that isolated, unmodified DNA cannot be patented, in the case of Association for Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics, Inc.—a case that has been called the Brown v. Board of Education of genetic science. In line with Cheryl Harris’s critique of the reproduction of racial property in Brown, this article illustrates how Myriad’s “desegregation” of the genome reinstantiated and mutated a leg…
Comics and revolution as global public health intervention: The Case of Lissa
In this article, we discuss the inextricable entanglement of public health and political revolution, and why comics is a particularly amenable medium to explore how different people come to terms with illness and mortality against the backdrop of political, economic, and environmental crises. We discuss our process in creating a sequential comic narrative, Lissa, that portrays a working-class Egyptian family, informed by hundreds of interviews an…
Bad Habitus: Anthropology in the Age of the Multimodal
The recent reframing of the Visual Anthropology section in American Anthropologist was motivated by a sense that new technologies have democratizing power and that through multimodal forms we can address a shift toward engagement and collaboration in anthropological research (Collins, Durington, and Gill 2017). Our purpose in this essay is to engage and expand the discussion raised by Samuel Collins, Matthew Durington, and Harjant Gill in their 2…

Untimely Economies of Survival
This article takes the recent turn against hope in breast cancer activism as a point of entry into a broader examination of speculative economies of science that creatively imagine, materialize, and manage futures in the present. It argues that untimeliness – anticipatory, simultaneous, porous, and prognostic in its articulation – captures these alternate arrangements of life and action as they are mobilized in cancer research that hails healthy …
Cancer Previval and the Theatrical Fact
Healthy women who are at hereditary risk for developing breast and ovarian cancer are surgically enacting the disease in material registers on their flesh in order to survive cancer in advance. In this practice of “previval,” the disease becomes itself, or gains biomedical substance, through its own theatrical gesture
