Engineering organs, hopes and hybridity
The development of replacing human organs with those from genetically modified pigs holds immense potential for alleviating the shortage of organs necessary for patients in need of transplants. This medical advancement is also accompanied by significant social changes, including the emergence of a bioeconomy, new modes of biotechnology governance, altered human-animal relations and increased public engagement. Some aspects, such as the impact on …
Zombic Forms
This article examines US-based popular media coverage and public health discourse surrounding the 2014-2016 Ebola epidemic in West Africa. It demonstrates how the construction of the Ebola virus and its victims as "zombies"-not properly live nor properly dead, spectacularly supernatural yet materially impactful has worked to displace culpability, suppress theories of iatrogenic contagion, and ultimately, justify modes of disease surveillance that…
The Infant as Biopolitical Absence
The Infant as Biopolitical Absence:Materiality, Viability, Mortality Megan H. Glick (bio) Outside the context of the biomedical sciences, the category of the infant remains profoundly undertheorized. This absence is striking in light of the dramatic rise of childhood studies scholarship across the humanities and social sciences during the past three decades. While interdisciplinary work in childhood studies has called attention to the inherent po…
Infrahumanisms
Animal Instincts
In 2007 Atlanta Falcons' quarterback Michael Vick was arrested for owning and operating the Bad Newz Kennels, a large interstate dogfighting ring. As the facts of the case unfolded, Vick was publicly attacked by animal rights groups, who were outraged by the abuse perpetrated at the kennels, particularly the violent "execution" of the dogs after fighting by torture, electrocution, drowning, and hanging. While the term execution typically refers t…
Ocular Anthropomorphisms
From the moment Charles Darwin proposed Africa as the site of human origins, scientists and the lay public alike labored to reconcile contemporary racial hierarchies with the possibility of a universal African birthplace. Previous historical treatments of this phenomenon have focused on the search for the “missing link” in Asia and Europe, an investigation that, if successful, would have effectively established a separate ancestry for the white r…
Of Sodomy and Cannibalism
This article explores ideas of the ‘human’ in discourses surrounding the AIDS epidemic, from the 1980s to the present. It compares two sequential lines of thought: first, the notion of AIDS as the result of ‘unnatural’ gender behaviours and queer sexualities; and second, the notion of AIDS and other zoonotics (cross-species diseases) as the result of non-western dietary practices and social mores. In the first case, the early years of the AIDS cr…
