Introduction to Pursuits of Population: An Antipodean Toolkit
Artifice
Thinking population in the present quickly finds the lockstep of white nation fantasies and their selective pronatalism.While the openly white supremacist populism of Trump 2.0 offers a graphic form, resonant discourses materialize in Australia in intersecting "crises" over migration and fertility.These sites are longstanding bedfellows in a Foucauldian tale of population as a paradigm-shifting eighteenth-century innovation, governing people as a…
Small Chemicals of Trauma: Epigenetics as Colonial Unknowing
In Australia, some Indigenous and non-Indigenous scientists, health workers, psychologists, and others have identified a resonance between epigenetics and Indigenous scholarship on intergenerational trauma. Epigenetics is a postgenomic science that seeks to demonstrate how environments can "get under the skin" to shape health outcomes by altering gene expression. Intergenerational trauma is a similar concept, as it describes how past harms such a…
Epigenetic science and Indigenous health: Key Issues and Considerations for Future Research
Environmental epigenetics is a fast-growing field of scientific research attracting interest from key stakeholders in Indigenous health internationally, including researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and advocacy organisations. It is the study of how various external factors, including food, stress, and toxins, alter genetic expression, and could be biologically passed down to children (and potentially grandchildren). This article explores the …
Making Gaybies: Queer Reproduction and Multiracial Feeling
Conclusion: Manifest Care
Refusing epigenetics: Indigeneity and the colonial politics of trauma
Circuits of Time: Enacting Postgenomics in Indigenous Australia
Some Indigenous Australians have embraced developmental origins of health and disease (DOHaD) and epigenetic discourses to highlight the legacies of slow violence in a settler colonial context. Despite important differences between Indigenous and scientific knowledges, some Indigenous scholars are positioning DOHaD and epigenetics as a resource to benefit their communities. This article argues that time plays a crucial role of brokering disparate…
Pandemic policing and the construction of publics: An analysis of Covid-19 lockdowns in public housing
COVID-19 responses have cast a spotlight on the uneven impacts of public health policy with particular populations or sites targeted for intervention. Perhaps the starkest example in Australia was the 'hard' lockdown of nine public housing complexes in inner-city Melbourne from 4 to 18 July 2020, where residents were fully confined to their homes. These complexes are home to diverse migrant communities and the lockdown drew public criticism for u…
The Reproductive Bodies of Postgenomics
In this Introduction, we present a collection of articles under the topic "the reproductive bodies of postgenomics." Through individual and collective research, the articles explore-sociologically, ethnographically, and philosophically-how bioscience in the postgenomic age is changing our understanding of reproductive bodies, and more broadly, how it is challenging existing ideas of heredity, embodiment, kinship, and identity. Feminist and postco…
The Racializing Womb: Surrogacy and Epigenetic Kinship
In gestational surrogacy arrangements, the womb is often figured as a holding environment that brings the child of commissioning parents to fruition but does not shape fetal identity. This article probes the racial imaginary of such a figuration-what I term the "nonracializing womb"-where gestation is seen as peripheral to racial transmission. Drawing on feminist science studies frameworks and data from interviews with parents who commissioned su…
In the Service of the State
Public history in Indonesia today faces considerable challenges. Despite the downfall of the New Order regime, its nationalist history program and agenda remain powerful in the culture. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the construction and use of authorized monuments and memorials. Monuments and memorials are evocative and affective; they promote and perpetuate emotional bonds. Drawing on familiar materials and symbols, they are aimed at par…
Miracle baby: A reparative reading of mixed race identity and nation in Peaches
The mixed race subject is increasingly emerging in popular Australian media as a poster child of multiculturalism, entangled with post-racial discourses. This dominant representation perpetuates reductive understandings of mixed race experience rooted in compulsory optimism and the erasure of history, which in turn bolster exclusionary imaginings of Australian national identity. I seek alternatives to these constructions through an analysis of th…
Renewing the New Order: Public History in Indonesia
After the fall of the Suharto regime in 1988, public debates over the nature of history proliferated. While focusing on a number of key national events, most notably the 1965 coup and the killing of over half-a-million people, these debates have raised critical issues over the role or potential role of public history in contemporary Indonesian society. Questions of historical authority are paramount as Indonesian historians, public intellectuals …
