Geographies of health and well-being 1
This report organizes a scholarly operational-epistemic constellation of “racial weathering.” I use this as an expansive framework that draws together critical public health, Black, feminist, Indigenous geographies, critical science studies, and anticolonial work on bodies, weather, and environment. Interweaving bio, geo-, and socio-political scales and insights on the conditioning of bodies, I consider the power-laden complexities of embodied pr…
Intimate Reckoning With the Diagnostic and Utopian Politics of Impossibility
This short review reckons with personal loss to explicate the material ethics of Shannon Cram's book Unmaking the Bomb and the diagnostic and utopian politics of impossibility
Deregulatory Folkways of Health
This article situates the ethical function of health within contemporary deregulation, as a broad governing logic focused on individual entrepreneurial freedom. The article presents three US-based case studies that resonate internationally and are positioned across the health spectrum, examining a blood diagnostic company, a popular wellness brand, and conspiratorial health influencers. The author develops the framework of deregulatory folkway to…
COPtimization and the operational banality of policing's technocratic drive
Data-driven policing claims to be the neutral "evidence-based" remedy to policing's ongoing global crisis of legitimacy. This paper recasts the evolving techno-organizational formats of policing as neoliberal folklore, using the framework "folklore of optimization's operational banality" (FOOB) to explicate the brutal banality and operational power of organizational optimization. FOOB points to the moral imperative to optimize remaining operation…
The Racial Spectacular
Data visualizations related to COVID-19 operate as forms of spectacle essential to the racialized governance of the pandemic. Guy Debord theorized spectacle as separation-between subjects, populations, regions, dots on a map. We extend and revise Debord's framework of spectacle, drawing on Ruth Wilson Gilmore's definition of racism and Sylvia Wynter's critique of monohumanism to position spectacle as ways of seeing as separation: constructed ways…
Waste Frontiers/War Enclosures
Military-industrial practices have left widespread contamination affecting land, water, air, and human and nonhuman bodies. This article uses decolonial analysis to examine the racial-colonial foundations that underlie contemporary efforts to reuse former U.S. military land for development projects. Interrelating scholarship on security and development with that of militarization and political ecology, I use “geosocial spectacle” to probe the mat…
The administrative grotesquerie of pandemic revanchism
This paper addresses U.S. pandemic-related propaganda, as a mode of administering society, selves, and the COVID-19 virus relevant to other national contexts. The paper examines what I call pandemic revanchism, which, in order to stoke U.S. culture wars, propag(and)ates the COVID-19 epidemic by sensationalizing the trivial and normalizing the extraordinary or absurd. Banal forms of administrative grotesquerie mobilize a community of alt-health (n…
Abject Ontologies
Covid “death pits”
Rampant COVID-19 outbreaks in US nursing homes have presented a massive biosecurity problem for the nation, bringing into stark relief the racialized stratification of eldercare administration and long-term care. This paper, by foregrounding the ways racial capitalism drives the chronic devaluation of nursing home residents and staff, provides an overview of how racism and ageism operate geographically through political ecologies of COVID in rela…
Folklore of Operational Banality
This article explores the reductive workings of policy that lead to intimate everyday forms of violence within US-based medical administration. Using the framework of folklore of operational banality (“FOOB”), the article examines a geodata-driven way of addressing uncompensated medical care that targets “superusers” of the US health care system. The case scrutinizes the operative truths, procedural rationalities, and absurd reductions performed …

Green death
This article explores changing American death care - the handling of the dead body and its materiality beyond death - in the context of US-based power relations over administration of human remains. The article briefly surveys efforts to make the afterlife of the dead more 'sustainable'. I argue that this expanding governance entails intensified bioremediation: the reuse and reprocessing of dead bodies/parts, intensified forms of material-biologi…
Sustainable World Expo? The Governing Function of Spectacle in Shanghai and Beyond
This paper explores the Shanghai 2010 World Expo to show how spectacle serves a governing function of the Chinese developmental state. I introduce soil exegesis as a method to excavate sedimented power relations of spectacle, undergirding the expo's presentation. This approach investigates how spectacle is a state-territorializing project and pedagogical venture that relies on and denies the state socialist-era's waste, to produce a 'new nature' …
Biofutures
This article addresses biomedical forms of racial targeting under neoliberal biopolitics. We explore two racial targeting technologies: The development of race-based pharmaceuticals, specifically BiDil; and medical hot spotting, a practice that uses Geographic Information System (GIS) technologies and spatial profiling to identify populations that are medically vulnerable in order to facilitate preemptive care. These technologies are ostensibly d…
Hope Logics
This essay explores the deployment of hope within biomedicine. Drawing on Michel Foucault's account of biopolitics , it argues that hope works in the service of biopolitical imperatives to govern life, and to secure, optimize, and speculate on that life. The essay broadly considers the operations of affect in biomedicine, and specifically examines the governing function of affective conventions of hope -that is, the perceptual, emotional, and cor…
The biomedicalisation of war and military remains
This paper analyses the recent legislation and administration of United States nuclear worker compensation--the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Programme Act (EEOICPA)--in order to show the domestic impacts of war and the social order that has been established to respond to the Cold War legacy of occupational exposures, illness, and death. Examining the epistemological politics and material effects of compensation, an insuffici…
The biopsic adventures of mammary glam
This ficto-criticism piece explores breast cancer detection in the context of risk and biopolitics, and in response develops “cancer glam” as a practice of critical-reflective embodiment and relational-material ontology. An array of detection technologies and numerous figures, such as the cyborg, the monster, the survivor, and the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes are visited along the way. Notes 1. There is a vast literature on breast cancer, including hist…

Transnatural ethics
This article explores the cleanup and conversion of former plutonium production facility Rocky Flats, located near Denver, Colorado, into a wildlife refuge. The article addresses the ethical demands of the 'post-nuclear' nature refuge and offers transnatural ethics and aesthetics in response, a relational ethics that seeks to take waste as inspiration. The article employs the performative persona of Denver-based drag queen comedienne Nuclia Waste…
Alien Still Life
Alien still life" examines the conversion of Rocky Flats, a plutonium factory located near Denver, Colorado, from a nuclear weapons plant to a national wildlife refuge. It argues that the territorial and administrative category of 'wildlife refuge' aided an incentives-based cleanup and accelerated turnover of the site to the public as a limited-use recreational space, in the process 'fixing' waste to external wilderness. Simultaneously, the techn…
