Panel 44: On Biomedicine, Governance and Experimentation (3): Experimental subjectivity: emerging forms of citizenship in African contexts (Wenzel Geissler)
Panel Organiser: Wenzel Geissler
In Africa, biomedical research and health services have been conducted jointly over the past century, shaping landscapes of healing and scientific experimentation. This conduct leads to the emergence of interstitial spaces where regimes of governance, techno-scientific practices and social reproduction are undergoing significant changes. We invite papers that explore these shifting constellations and the emergence of new relationships between bodies, politics and science.
