Metabolo-politics
More-than-human metabolic processes increasingly constitute the locus of contemporary biopower, often responding to industrially-altered biogeochemical cycles. We conceptualise ‘metabolo-politics’ to examine the targeting of bodies and populations via interventions in the biochemical surroundings and ecologies that shape them; and simultaneously, the administration and modulation of materials in the environment via interventions in the bodies and…
The navigation of good care for forensic psychiatric inpatients who face mandatory repatriation from the Netherlands
Value-Scapes of Death
This article examines the crucial role of veterinarians in making animal death valuable, enabling productive life, and managing uncontrolled dying. Based on ethnographic fieldwork on dairy farms in the Netherlands, and considering veterinarians as gatekeepers of the food chain, health practitioners, and governance actors, I articulate the "value-scapes" of food production that shape which animals die, when, and how, and whether death is desirable…
Good Digestion
In the Netherlands, what dairy cows eat, produce, and excrete is meticulously recorded and controlled. While farmers optimize cows' diets for production, the side effects of this industrial metabolism have recently become problematized in new and strikingly public ways. Since 2019, the country has faced a so-called nitrogen crisis, a set of ecological, legal, and political challenges posed by nitrogen pollution from industrial activities, predomi…
Tinkering with Relations
In the Netherlands, vets play a key role in the continuation, regulation, and innovation of industrial livestock production. Extending studies of care in health care and farming and drawing on fieldwork with veterinarians, this chapter details how vets treat animals, coach farmers, perform animal welfare procedures, or otherwise try to achieve ‘good’ farm animal care. Describing the different roles vets take on in livestock production, it highlig…
Thinking with attachments
Much current work in Science and Technology Studies inflects knowing with care. Analyses of the ethos of objectivity, and of the practices by which objectivity is crafted, have shown that knowing and caring cannot be thought apart from each other. Using case studies from our own work we analyse how, in the sociotechnical relationships that we study, knowing and caring are entangled through 'attachments'. We appreciate - both in the sense of valui…
Enacting community health
Drawing on Critical Policy Studies and feminist STS, this article conceptualizes obesity prevention activities as ongoing and precarious practices of relating - rather than as means for 'getting results' or vehicles through which normative discourses are instilled. It focuses on 'community approaches' within public health, whose aim is to stimulate healthy initiatives from what policy makers term 'bottom-up', emerging from the situations, concern…
Metabolism and movement
Participation, representation, and shared experiences of women scholars in biological anthropology
American Association of Physical Anthropologists (AAPA) membership surveys from 1996 and 1998 revealed significant gender disparities in academic status. A 2014 follow‐up survey showed that gender equality had improved, particularly with respect to the number of women in tenure‐stream positions. However, although women comprised 70% of AAPA membership at that time, the percentage of women full professors remained low. Here, we continue to conside…
Operating (on) the self
In this article, I describe the processes through which patients diagnosed with 'morbid obesity' become active subjects through undergoing obesity surgery and an empowerment lifestyle programme in a Dutch obesity clinic. Following work in actor-network theory and material semiotics that complicates the distinction between active and passive subjects, I trace how agency is configured and re-distributed throughout the treatment trajectory. In the c…
Hungers that Need Feeding
Drawing on participant observation in a 'mindful weight loss' course offered in the Netherlands, this paper explores the normative register through which mindfulness techniques cast people in relation to concerns with overeating and body weight. The women seeking out mindfulness use eating to cope with troubles in their lives and are hindered by a preoccupation with the size of their bodies. Mindfulness coaches aim to help them let go of this 'st…
Comparative Optimism and Event Skewness
Comparative judgment biases—wherein a majority of people report being above‐ or below‐average in their abilities, traits, or future events—are a robust phenomenon in psychology. A recent explanation for these biases has focused on people's awareness that many comparative judgment domains form skewed distributions, and, hence, a majority of people can feasibly be above or below average. Indeed, this prior research found that comparative biases for…
Enjoy your food
Does healthy eating require people to control themselves and abstain from pleasure? This idea is dominant, but in our studies of dieting in The Netherlands we encountered professionals who work in other ways. They encourage their clients to enjoy their food, as only such joy provides satisfaction and the sense that one has eaten enough. Enjoying one's food is not easy. It depends on being sensitive. This does not come naturally but needs training…
Interspecific Interactions Between Cebus capucinus and Other Species
Cross‐site differences in foraging behavior of white‐faced capuchins ( Cebus capucinus )
Researchers have identified a variety of cross‐site differences in the foraging behavior of free‐ranging great apes, most notably among chimpanzees ( Pan troglodytes ) and more recently orangutans ( Pongo pygmaeus ), that are not due to obvious genetic or ecological differences. These differences are often referred to as “traditions.” What is not known is whether this high level of interpopulation variation in behavior is limited to hominoids. In…
