Migration Control, the Local Economy and Violence in the Burkina Faso and Niger Borderland
The externalized European “migration management” in West Africa has technologically modernized and militarized border posts. This threatens visa-free travel, freedom of settlement and borderland economies in parts of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). It has interrupted historical mobility patterns, depleted the diversity of mobility practices and criminalized regional economies. At the same time, one can observe intensified …

Resistant bodies, malaria and the question of immunity
The eradication of malaria is a long-standing quest in global public health. This chapter discusses the development of a malaria vaccine, the rise of malaria drug-tolerant parasites, as well as vernacular logics of negotiating partial immunities in order to investigate the survival strategies and practices of humans and parasites alike. It argues that interrogating malaria policies and ecological disease dynamics through the notion of immunity dr…

Flourishing with Awkward Creatures: Togetherness, Vulnerability, Killing
Giant isopods are one of the star attractions in the Toba Aquarium, Japan.Under normal circumstances these crustaceans live at depth on the cold, dark ocean floor, scavenging flesh from dead fish and whales.Their alien appearance, as well as the strangeness of their lives, instills a combination of fascination, fear, and disgust in the aquarium visitor.In 2007, one specimen-29 centimetres long and weighing just over a kilogram-was plucked from wa…
The Flying Public Health Tool: Genetically Modified Mosquitoes and Malaria Control
For many in the scientific world, technologies of genetic modification offer a promising method to control vector-borne infectious diseases such as malaria. Nevertheless, the recent releases of the first genetically modified (GM) mosquitoes into the wild have triggered heated discussions. How is the human–mosquito relationship being reconfigured through the development of GM mosquitoes? The scientific modifications that make mosquitoes incapable …
Knowing Insects: Hosts, Vectors and Companions of Science
The social analysis of insects has challenged our concepts of sociability, intentionality and language, while investigations of their habitats have informed how we construct and manage public space. Including entomological expertise, insect knowledge has been integral to the expansion of empire, the emergence of secular science, and in the managerial revolution that linked technology to agricultural improvement. Reading insects as hosts, vectors …
Provincialising Waste: The Transformation of Ambulance Car 7/83-2 to Tro-Tro Dr. Jesus
This paper is concerned with the material and social transformation of a German ambulance car into a Ghanaian minibus-called tro-tros in Ghana. We track the journey of a Mercedes Benz 310 from Winnenden in Germany to Kumasi in Ghana and examine the transformation of Rettungswagen 7/83-2 to tro-tro Dr. JESUS. Tracing the car's geobiography enables us to explore a specific material relation between Europe and West Africa. Considering debates on tec…
