A hydrological breakdown of containment logics
Social science scholarship has long explored the spatial, political and embodied dimensions of contamination, attending to the ways pollutants are unevenly distributed and unreliably contained. In this framing, waste is relegated elsewhere , to people and places deemed expendable. However, while exposures to waste and other forms of contamination remain deeply uneven, we are also witnessing a shift into a new era in which toxic exposures are incr…
Precarious living in the age of precision medicine
Owing in large part to the rise of precision medicine, cancers that were once considered ‘terminal’ now often entail long-term treatability alongside ongoing incurability. The resulting chronic malignancy is fundamentally reconfiguring the meaning and experience of living with cancer and – we argue – illustrates some of the key features of precarious living, more generally. Drawing on 132 in-depth interviews and building from Lauren Berlant’s ide…
The Geological
Speculative Frontiers of Technoscience and Innovation
This paper revisits nanotechnology as a once-speculative field that attracted significant interest from science and technology studies (STS) scholars during its promissory phase, yet has received comparatively little attention now that it is partially institutionalised and entangled in the everyday practices of research and innovation. We approach nanotechnology as a compelling case that now offers the opportunity to study what becomes of technos…
Ensuring Responsible Nanotechnology Innovation
The challenge of considering the ethical, environmental, economic, social, legal and cultural (E 3 LSC) dimensions of nanotechnology innovation is of enduring and increasing importance for societies worldwide. This is made more pressing due to rising public interest in the realms of AI and quantum technology. Drawing on an interdisciplinary collaboration between nanotechnology and social science researchers, this paper discusses how E 3 LSC dimen…
The Cenote as Material Feminist Figuration
Cenotes are naturally occurring freshwater sinkholes that are formed when limestone bedrock erodes, exposing subterranean water. They are visually striking: cavernous, circular holes in the ground that drop down to the shimmer of bright blue water. Building on the genealogy of feminist figures, this article argues that cenotes are rich feminist figurations that can assist us in thinking through the complexities of ecological crises in the Anthrop…
Lung cancer after the genomic turn
The lungs serve as a site of interchange between the bodily and environmental, an interface between the internal and external world, enacted through breath. We draw on the primacy of this exchange to explore the complexities of living with lung cancer amidst the enduring social challenge of stigma and the advent of 'targeted therapies' at the cutting edge of precision medicine. Lung cancer's association with smoking and resulting stigmatisation o…
Love Letter to Decorator Crabs
The ocean is a planetary force consisting of both surface and depth. The imaginary of the ocean is an interconnecting and interconnected force. The ocean, with its hypnotic lack of form, reminds us that who we are does not end at the skin. We bleed into our environments, and our environments bleed into us. The sea is both conceptually and materially entangled with us: we are on a transcorporeal continuum with the ocean. In this love letter, we tu…
Geology as Somatechnics
In this article we offer a textual analysis informed by feminist framings of the geologic as a somatechnic research practice. The turn to geology in recent feminist scholarship responds to the explosion of discourse on the Anthropocene (itself a geologic term) interrogating the power relations implicit in geology as a seemingly objective research practice and epistemology. We use this theoretical standpoint on geology to analyse two literary repr…
Thinking-with Decorator Crabs
Feminist scholarship has increasingly turned towards the ocean as a conceptual apparatus in which to think through the complex philosophical and ethical dilemmas of the Anthropocene. Responding to the ebbs, flows and transformations of the oceanic turn, our article outlines our interactions with four decorator crabs. It begins by situating our experience of thinking-with these crabs as a feminist practice of care within the conceptual context of …
