Volatile Atmosphere
This article delves into the history of petrochemical-derived gas emissions in Toronto, focusing on their emergence and regulation from the end of World War II and up to 1980. Drawing on archival materials, I trace local knowledge production through four loosely defined periods: 1950’s nuisance and ephemerality, 1960’s threshold thinking, 1960’s reactivity and technoscience, and 1970’s ambient intensities. Building on feminist science and technol…
Chemical Disability and Technoscientific Experimental Subjecthood
The “canary in the coal mine” metaphor is used by the chemically sensitive community to make sense of and crip spaces containing low-levels of toxic atmospheric petrochemicals. This article reflects on the technocultural genealogies entrenched within the metaphor. A by-product of the imperial exotic bird trade, canary companion species played a formative role in early technoscientific understandings of toxic exposure starting in the nineteenth ce…
