Embodying the Immeasurable: Material Prospections on Pain, Illness, and Suffering in Crisis
Panel
Panel at XVI ESOCITE Conference (Asociación Latinoamericana de Estudios Sociales de Ciencia y Tecnología)
Panel “Embodying the Immeasurable: Material Prospections on Pain, Illness, and Suffering in Crisis”
Part of the track “Methodologies Anchored in Design, Prototypes, and Material Creation” at the XVI ESOCITE Conference (Asociación Latinoamericana de Estudios Sociales de Ciencia y Tecnología)
June 24 to 26, 2026
Bogotá, Colombia
In times of global crises—pandemics, conflicts, environmental disasters—pain, illness, and suffering traverse bodies, senses, and materialities. This panel invites exploration of how the human is constituted under these extreme conditions and how the (in)material, together with Futures Design, can offer tools to envision and project possible environments and scenarios that shape the experience of suffering (Fry, 2009).
We welcome submissions addressing these issues from diverse theories of subjectivity and epistemological approaches: embodied cognition (Varela, Thompson & Rosch, 1991); phenomenological and medical anthropology approaches (Rouse, 2009; Kleinman, 1997, 2020; Biehl, 2005); the existential dimension and bodily vulnerability (Cosmelli, 2025); as well as the interaction between technology, materiality, and invisible worlds, showing how environments and objects shape experiences that transcend the tangible (Espírito Santo, 2020,2021,2025) and critical analyses of power relations and ontologies of the human (Povinelli, 2021).
The STS community is invited to contribute papers that creatively and rigorously connect experiences, theories, and projections—such as applied projects, media-based work, theoretical papers, and literature reviews—that contribute to critical thinking in Futures Design, integrating experiences, theories, and materialities to generate new horizons in relation to pain, illness, and suffering.

CfP:
Globally, publicly funded healthcare has become increasingly politicized within democratic processes over the past decades. Ranging from the politicization of the United States’ Affordable Care Act dubbed ‘ObamaCare,’ the resistance to the increasing privatization of the United Kingdom’s National Health Service, populist political brandings of healthcare infrastructures in South Asia, or citizen activism across contexts, health has increasingly entered democratic agendas. Contrasting from 20th century political movements around healthcare that garnered momentum through specific disease categories, such as HIV-AIDS (Biehl 2004) or affliction of specifically marginalized populations (Petryna 2013), contemporary politicizations are increasingly mobilizing broad visions of ‘health’ for electoral gains (Kehr, Muinde, and Prince 2023; Cooper, 2019). In many settings, such politicizations take the form of one-off schemes that are typically politically temporary and partial in nature, relying on decades of state neglect in healthcare to be perceived as successful by the electorate. Paradoxically, this rising electoral-politicization of health services and programs also takes place within contexts of rising health austerity.
Therefore, in this workshop, we seek to use this emergence of health as an explicit object of electoral-political agendas to think through the contemporary relationship between democracy and health, and more broadly the politics of bio-politics. The concept of ‘politics,’ most broadly, has been a longstanding concern for medical anthropologists’ engagement with patients’ experiences, and understandings of power. Seminally, Foucault’s notion of ‘biopolitics’ has provided a conceptual foundation for medical anthropologists to make sense of how processes of subjectivization take place within health’s domains, and the governmental apparatuses that animate those processes. Notably, biopolitically inspired frameworks of politics have shaped how anthropologists engage with how patients mobilize pathological-biological identities to place citizenship claims upon the state (Rose and Novas 2005; Biehl 2004; Petryna 2013; Ticktin 2011 Nguyen 2010), how biomedical knowledge can be used to claim authority in state spaces (Adams 1998), or how medicine is mobilized as a symbol of national modernity (Brotherton 2012; Al-Dewachi 2017). Yet, neighboring disciplines have pointed out that the use of politics in this literature may risk confining itself to the realm of the biological, and can “undermine the political” as an analytical category by discounting how other forms of politics intersect with biologized politics of health (Bird and Lynch 2019). Overall, the concept of ‘politics,’ often quickly glossed through the ‘politics of health,’ maintains a degree of ambivalence in the cannon of medical anthropology.
In response, this workshop seeks to bring together leading scholars to ethnographically think through this in a way that is generative of novel conceptual formulations to understand the contemporary relationship between democracy and health. Democracy, in this sense, while grounded in processes of electoral-politics, is not empirically confined to the practice of voting nor the ritual of elections, but seeks to account for the different realms of the political that work alongside, within, and through, and are also constructed by, the politics of health. In approaching these questions, we aim to more explicitly bring together literature in medical and political anthropology. Doing so particularly takes stalk of how concepts of political, affective feelings of political existence, and the material-spectral realities of the state inform subjectivities towards health and care (Aretxaga 2003; Navaro-Yashin 2002; Candea 2011; Postero and Elinoff 2019; Steet 2012; Vollebergh, Koning, and Marchesi, 2021). This intersection presents opportunities to engage with different readings of biopolitics. Specifically, early Foucauldian ideas of locatable, tangible ‘veins of power’ — as possible to see within biomedical clinics — as well as later Foucauldian ideas that power is everywhere — as possible to see within political affects — which need alignment in order to understand contemporary formations of democracy as health.
This edited volume revolves around the idea that, amidst rising fascist, authoritarian tendencies that rely upon health as an electoral-political tool, it is increasingly urgent to reimagine the relationship between democracy and health. This volume will seek to revolve around the following central questions:
· How does democracy reimagine the idea of health as an optic, a good, a right, a service, and more, in relation to the state and the private sector?
· What do democratic processes do to the figure of the clinic and how does it modulate its gaze?
· What does the relationship between democracy and health do to imaginations and relationalities between states and subjects?
· How does health’s electoral-political uptake transmit into the realm of patient experience, subjectivity and embodiment?

Birth Rites Collection Summer School 2026: Reproduction and the State
Workshop
Summer School (online)
BIRTH RITES COLLECTION SUMMER SCHOOL 2026 ONLINE
The world’s only contemporary art collection dedicated to childbirth invites you to a programme of lectures, workshops, seminars and one-to-one tutorials.
This Year’s theme: REPRODUCTION AND THE STATE
How do artists contest dominant narratives of birth and maternity? Whose bodies are heard, treated and believed in maternal healthcare? How do states instrumentalise reproduction through policy, imagery and ideology? How can the maternal become a site of resistance and reimagining?
Led by artist and BRC Curator Dr Helen Knowles and artist Dr Leni Dothan, the course brings you into dialogue with the collection, this year’s themes, and your own practice. You’ll leave with bespoke visual, textual, auditory, photographic, filmic or performative work to carry into your future practice.
This year, participants gain exclusive access to a curated selection of works from the collection not ordinarily available to the public, presented in a dedicated online space. Workshops explore the aesthetic, ethical, political and visual discourses of birth through text, film and performance. Lectures from leading artists and academics open up the following themes:
-Institutional bias in maternal healthcare — race, class, and the politics of care
-Pronatalism, border regimes, and reproductive justice
-The Collection’s impact on feminist art and the visual history of birth
-Censorship, ethics and the law around artworks on birth
-How the Collection can shape practice and policy in midwifery, medicine and education
Open to midwives, artists, academics, curators, medics, health professionals, art historians, policy advisors — and anyone engaged with childbirth through the lens of art.
Our 2026 Keynote Speaker is the renowned video artist, CANDICE BREITZ. Other artists invited to speak are: Sarah Sudhoff, RAYVENN SHALEIGHA D’CLARK, Andrea Khora, Helen Knowles and Leni Dothan, with more announced soon.

Workshop: De-/valuations in paid care work
University of Lucerne, Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology
July 2–3, 2026
Organized by Madhurilata Basu, Jürg Bühler, Sandra Bärnreuther
Research on care work has often paid attention to questions of value and valuation: be it the
description of care work as a labor of love, empathy, and concern (Rose 1983), as a source of
surplus value (Federici 2012), as a commodity embedded in the global economy (Hochschild
2000, Parreñas 2000), or as a foundation for developing alternative ethical and political theories
(Gilligan 1982; Noddings 1984; Held 2006, Tronto 1993). While some studies examine
different understandings and practices of good care alongside the tensions and contradictions
they produce (Kleinman 2009, Smith-Morris 2018, Stevenson 2014), much of the research on
paid care work emphasizes issues of deskilling, devaluation, and the extraction of value (e.g.,
John and Wichterich 2023). The gendering of care work as female, and its links to domestic
and bodily labor, are shown to be crucial in understanding the exploitation and marginalization
of care workers, although there are notable differences across various groups (Cohen and
Wolkowitz 2018, Ray 2019).
The valuation and devaluation of care occur through complex processes, including ongoing
negotiations with larger economic and societal structures. Given the highly ambiguous nature
of these valuations, it is easy to overlook that care workers themselves assign meaning, moral
significance, and value to their work, often in ways that may differ from popular and scholarly
descriptions and assessments. Understanding these self-perceptions is essential, even though
care workers’ voices often remain unheard. Tracing intricate processes of valuation and
devaluation by care workers and other actors involved in paid care work is therefore crucial for
understanding how care work is experienced and shaped over time.
This workshop aims to examine valuation practices related to paid care work, emphasizing the
perspectives of various actors, including caregivers, members of care institutions (such as
management, educators, and doctors), and care recipients. We follow Dussauge et al. (2015) in
viewing value(s) not as “prefixed entit[ies] which explain […] action” but treat “the genesis,
articulation, dispute, and settling of what comes to count as values as matters for empirical
investigation and explanation” (ibid., 6). Through an in-depth analysis of the making of values
in care practice, we seek to understand processes of de-/valuation of care work, skills, degrees,
health, and workers themselves. Importantly, power is not absent in this approach; to the
contrary: “By studying the making of values traditionally seen as belonging to different
domains we can see power struggles over which values are to be dominant, the making of
boundaries between values (that may become made as separate), and when different values are
made commensurable” (ibid.). The workshop highlights the conflicting concerns and stakes
involved in providing care, as well as how valuations are actively produced, transformed, and
maintained.
We invite ethnographically oriented scholars studying paid care work across various fields and
regions to join this workshop. Possible topics for papers might include: discourses of de-
/valuation in educational institutions and workplaces; rationalizations of different labor
regimes; relationships among different groups of care workers and other professional groups;
changes in workforce composition; labor struggles and unionization efforts; the introduction
of new technologies; or care work and the platform economy.

P178: Caring for the Possible: In the Meantime of Healthcare’s Data-Driven Futures
Short Abstract
What happens to the promissory utopias of data-driven healthcare “in the meantime”? This panel reinvigorates STS approaches to healthcare data and temporality through Masquelier & Durham’s anthropology of the possible, tracing how waiting, delay, reframing and repair shape care.
Description
In contemporary healthcare, data are routinely invoked as instruments for prediction, control and revolutionary transformation, promising more personalised, efficient, and evidence-based care. Yet between the aspirational and the actual lies what Masquelier and Durham (2023) call the meantime: the indeterminate, affective, and open-ended space in which possible futures are continually negotiated. Drawing on their invitation to an anthropology of the possible, this panel reinvigorates the ways STS engages empirically with data practices that are neither fully realised nor entirely speculative.
Drawing on empirical research in social studies of medicine, healthcare and clinical data infrastructures, we explore the forms of waiting, adjustment, and improvisation characterising everyday work with data. These ‘meantime practices’ include the crafting of incomplete datasets, the maintenance of fragile and sometimes fictional interoperability, and the affective labours of care that make such systems function. Rather than treating data as stable intermediaries or precursors to predictive futures, we approach them as sites where the possible is continually refigured — through moments of suspension, hesitation, and repair.
Bringing Masquelier and Durham’s anthropology of the possible into dialogue with feminist STS and social studies of data, we explore the conceptual and methodological openings for studying healthcare data as a terrain of ongoing possibility. Such an approach invites us to notice not only what data are promised to deliver, but also what they hold open — in the meantime — about how futures of health, care, and evidence might be made otherwise. We invite papers that consider data practices and care in ‘the meantime’, engaging questions such as:
– What novel modes of attention become possible when ‘the meantime’ of data practices is our focus?
– What sorts of ‘meantimes’, of different temporalities, exist among data practices?
– How do ‘data meantimes’ shape our understandings of the past and possibilities for the future of care?

Abstract:
In 2025, the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs called for a ‘humanitarian reset’ amid proliferating crises, rising displacement, and shrinking donor funding. Framed as a radical reform moment, the ‘reset’ has emerged as a dominant term for grappling with profound sector-wide institutional stress. Initiatives such as UN80 and the ‘reset’ are positioned as opportunities to reimagine how aid is organized and delivered by streamlining coordination, embracing anticipatory action, prioritizing assistance, devolving authority to local actors, and mobilizing digital technologies and private sector partnerships to do “more with less.” Yet these reforms are not merely neutral or technical. They represent a reconfiguration of power within humanitarian systems, enacted through the reset as a techno-political project.
We invite scholars and practitioners working at the intersection of humanitarianism and science and technology studies to examine the reset, its promises, underlying assumptions, and how it is shaped by, and productive of, technopower. We ask: how are aid infrastructures, including data governance systems, cash delivery platforms, forecasting tools, prioritized aid mechanisms, and accountability frameworks, being redesigned under conditions of austerity and urgency? What sociotechnical imaginaries shape reforms proposed under the reset, and how are they entangled with ideas of efficiency, expertise, innovation, market logics, and new forms of public-private authority? How do calls to “shift power closer to communities” intersect with expanding technological mediation and data-intensive systems that may simultaneously enable and undermine local agency?
This panel foregrounds the reset as an ongoing, contested process rather than a settled reform agenda. Contributions may engage empirically, theoretically, or conceptually with topics including localization and accountability, anticipatory action and early warning systems, protection issues, humanitarian-corporate collaboration, activism, and advocacy under shrinking humanitarian footprints. We welcome submissions exploring tensions between efficiency and care, innovation and justice, decentralization and responsibility-shifting, and technocratic expertise and lived experiences.
