This presentation was extremely rich and resonates a lot with my work and interests, thank you.

You mentioned that farmers have moved from a space they deemed safe and stabilised to one where they felt a sense of risk and precarity, which characterises the sector at large. I wonder if you could say more about the nexus between the safe spaces vs risky spaces you described and the experimentation at stake.

In your research, how does experimentalism emerge amidst a condition of weakness, precarity, insecurity rather than one of safety? Other STS scholarship (i.e. Claire Waterton) argues that the safe space is conditional for the experimentation to happen.

A bromide ion is the negatively charged form () of the element bromine, a member of the halogens group on the periodic table. Most bromides are colorless. Bromides have many practical roles, being found in anticonvulsants, flame-retardant materials, and cell stains. Although uncommon, chronic toxicity from bromide can result in bromism, a syndrome with multiple neurological symptoms. Bromide toxicity can also cause a type of skin eruption, see potassium bromide. The bromide ion has an ionic radius of 196 pm.

Bromide is present in typical seawater (35 PSU) with a concentration of around 65 mg/L, which is about 0.2% of all dissolved salts. Seafood and deep sea plants generally have higher levels than land-derived foods. Bromargyrite -natural, crystalline silver bromide-is the most common bromide mineral known but is still very rare. In addition to silver, bromine is also in minerals combined with mercury and copper.

Bromide salts of alkali metal, alkaline earth metals, and many other metals dissolve in water (and even some alcohols and a few ethers) to give bromide ions. The classic case is sodium bromide, which fully dissociates in water:

Hydrogen bromide, which is a diatomic molecule, takes on salt-like properties upon contact with water to give an ionic solution called hydrobromic acid. The process is often described simplistically as involving formation of the hydronium salt of bromide:

Bromine readily reacts with water, i.e. it undergoes hydrolysis:

This forms hypobromous acid (HOBr), and hydrobromic acid (HBr in water). The solution is called " bromine water". The hydrolysis of bromine is more favorable in the presence of base, for example sodium hydroxide:

This reaction is analogous to the production of bleach, where chlorine is dissolved in the presence of sodium hydroxide.

One can test for a bromide ion by adding an oxidizer. One method uses dilute .

Balard and Löwig's method can be used to extract bromine from seawater and certain brines. For samples testing for sufficient bromide concentration, addition of chlorine produces bromine (Br ₂):

Bromide's main commercial value is its use in producing organobromine compounds, which themselves are rather specialized. Organobromine compounds are commonly used as brominated flame retardants. Some brominated flame retardants were identified as persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic to both humans and the environment and were suspected of causing neurobehavioral effects and endocrine disruption.

Many metal bromides are produced commercially, including LiBr, NaBr, , CuBr, and . AgBr is used for the largely obsolete photographic gelatin silver process.

Folk and passé medicine

Lithium bromide was used as a sedative beginning in the early 1900s. However, it fell into disfavour in the 1940s due to the rising popularity of safer and more efficient sedatives (specifically, barbiturates) and when some heart patients died after using a salt substitute (see lithium chloride). Like lithium carbonate and lithium chloride, it was used as a treatment for bipolar disorder.

From 1954 - 1977, the Australian biochemist Shirley Andrews was researching safe ways to use lithium for the treatment of manic depressive illnesses while working at the Royal Park Psychiatric Hospital in Victoria. While conducting this research she discovered that bromide caused symptoms of mental illness, leading to a major reduction in its usage.

Bromide compounds, especially potassium bromide, were frequently used as sedatives in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Their use in over-the-counter sedatives and headache remedies (such as Bromo-Seltzer) in the United States extended to 1975 when bromides were withdrawn as ingredients due to chronic toxicity. This use gave the word "bromide" its colloquial connotation of a comforting cliché.

It has been said that during World War I, British soldiers were given bromide to curb their sexual urges. Lord Dunsany mentions a soldier being given bromide as a sedative for nervous exhaustion and overwork in his play Fame and the Poet (1919).

Bromide salts are used in hot tubs as mild germicidal agents to generate in situ hypobromite

The bromide ion is antiepileptic and as bromide salt, is used in veterinary medicine in the US. The kidneys excrete bromide ions. The half-life of bromide in the human body (12 days) is long compared with many pharmaceuticals, making dosing challenging to adjust. (A new dose may require several months to reach equilibrium.) Bromide ion concentrations in the cerebrospinal fluid are about 30% of those in blood and are strongly influenced by the body's chloride intake and metabolism.

Since bromide is still used in veterinary medicine in the United States, veterinary diagnostic labs can routinely measure blood bromide levels. However, this is not a conventional test in human medicine in the US since there are no FDA-approved uses for the bromide. Therapeutic bromide levels are measured in European countries like Germany, where bromide is still used therapeutically in human epilepsy.

Bromide is rarely mentioned in the biochemical context. Some enzymes use bromide as substrate or as a cofactor.

Bromoperoxidase enzymes use bromide (typically in seawater) to generate electrophilic brominating agents Hundreds of organobromine compounds are generated by this process. Notable examples are bromoform, thousands of tons of which are produced annually in this way. The historical dye Tyrian purple is produced by similar enzymatic reactions.

In one specialized report, bromide is an essential cofactor in the peroxidising catalysis of sulfonimine crosslinks in collagen IV. This post-translational modification occurs in all animals and bromine is an essential trace element for humans.

Eosinophils need bromide for fighting multicellular parasites. Hypobromite is produced via eosinophil peroxidase, an enzyme that can use chloride but preferentially uses bromide.

The average concentration of bromide in human blood in Queensland, Australia, is and varies with age and gender. Much higher levels may indicate exposure to brominated chemicals. It is also found in seafood.

Abstract:

The aim of this contribution is to take an epistemological approach to inquire the relation between the rising discourses on biosecurity, hastily brought back by the recent pandemic, and the historical embedding of this notion in the development of the concept of individuality: organismic, cultural, economic and systemic.

Historically, as observed by Thacker (Thaker, 2007) and Woodard (Woodard, 2012) the organism has always been the main unit, the observable and operational primum of scientific inquiry. One of the examples that will be concerned in this contribution will focus on the embedding of the Psychoanalitical concept of Ego and the The traditional view of the Immunitary System as «a defensive network against a hostile exterior world in which the immune individual rejects anything that is not “self.”» (Gilbert, 2012).

In spite of the towering amount of scientific evidences demanding for a complete reconfiguration of this traditional, almost mythological framework, the pandemic showed that the main line of discourse has been inevitably dominated by an Us vs Them perspective in which the Virus, the microbial life that spans its network of infection (Woodard, 2012) has taken back its traditional seat as a representative for an objectified view in which Nature, in polar opposition with the human agentivity, is a passive, blind, harbringer of dissolution: an external obstacle to integrate or exterminate.

Abstract:

With the development of novel gene editing technologies, scientists have been researching various applications in livestock in an effort to tackle environmental, agricultural, or biomedical challenges. One area of research is xenotransplantation, where scientists genetically edit pigs to produce animals whose organs could be transplanted into humans. While xenotransplantation is positioned by scientists as a biomedical intervention, as a means of combating human organ donation shortages, the research object is still a pig: an animal with a history of being governed through livestock agricultural frameworks. In light of this, what happens when xenotransplantation scientists are faced with a pathogen that disrupts the coexistence of the pig as both a bioscientific research object and an animal categorized as livestock?

Through ethnographically examining xenotransplantation research in Germany, I’ve come to witness how African Swine Fever (ASF) brings to light competing understandings of biosecurity. ASF, a virus that kills pigs, has been shaped by my informants as “the biggest threat to the field” of xenotransplantation in Germany. It becomes shaped as threatening not necessarily because they imagine it will infect and harm their pigs, as they protect them through their own biosecurity protocols like pathogen-free facilities. Rather, this threat emerges due to how the German Federal Ministry of Food and Agriculture governs ASF and contaminated animals through (livestock) agricultural biosecurity regulations.

In this talk, I’ll show how through the case of xenotransplantation and ASF, different enactments of biosecurity are performed when livestock animals become biotechnological research objects. I’ll trace the tensions that emerge as scientists have to navigate their own bioscientific biosecurity measures, as well as livestock agricultural biosecurity measures. Through this, I bring into question: what does biosecurity come to mean (locally and globally) in an era of biotechnological research where livestock animals are increasingly entering laboratories?

Abstract:

This communication aims to show some results of a research on the perception of bovine tuberculosis (BTb) among a sample of farmers and veterinarians from Spain and France. BTb is a zoonotic infectious disease, with a very strict and regulated surveillance and eradication program (at the European level and in each member country). The appearance of a BTb outbreak implies the immobilization of the herd for a period of time and, if the infection is prolonged, the slaughter of all the animals, as well as a ban on exporting animals and meat from the affected territory.

The methodology combined the analysis of press news from both countries, a series of in-depth interviews with farmers (12) and veterinarians (8), and deliberative workshops (4) with the people interviewed.

The results show how the uncertainties derived from the diagnostic tests (false positives and false negatives) are a permanent source of mistrust and conflicts between farmers, veterinarians and official services, which affects the credibility of the eradication program and the effective rules compliance. In addition, both farmers and veterinarians know that when there is an outbreak they will be blamed by official services and stigmatized by other farmers and veterinarians. This leads both to attitudes of passivity and fatalism in the face of risk, as well as secrecy to avoid stigmatization. It is a process that is lived with a lot of loneliness, skepticism and mistrust.

In conclusion, it can be seen that the official BTb eradication program rests on theoretical assumptions that often do not occur in practice. In addition, it is a biosecurity program designed for intensive stabled livestock, while marginalizing and penalizing extensive livestock, something that in a context of combating climate change and the energy crisis means following a flawed logic.

Abstract:

In this paper, I trace how researchers in global health employ tools relating to water, sanitation and hygiene (WaSH) in the making of evidence on anti-microbial resistance (AMR). AMR refers to bacteria and other microbes’ resistance to anti-microbial agents, including antibiotics, which leads to drug-resistant infections. AMR is understood as a global issue, despite its local contingency. As the colonization with (resistant) bacteria can occur across the human, animal and environmental spheres, AMR disrupts the boundaries of these three sectors. I show how WaSH data break down AMR into small units of analysis to be measured, assessed and intervened upon. Prevention of infection is commonly understood as the most effective way to decrease the likelihood of both occurrence and spread of resistant infections. The WaSH sector renders prevention tangible by proposing sanitation and cleanliness, disrupting chains of infection. In my ethnographic work with a transnational research collaboration working in between the United Kingdom, Uganda and Malawi, I found that WaSH served at once to make AMR knowable and intervenable on a local scale as well as as a global health object. Following from AMR’s conception as a One Health issue, WaSH data stitch together human, animal and environmental spheres by highlighting the connecting bacterial pathways, e.g. the drinking of untreated water linking environmental and human spheres. At the same time WaSH data create windows through which those pathways can be interrupted, e.g. the treating of drinking water. Such a conceptualization of AMR shifts attention away from underlying factors that contribute to the presence of (resistant) bacteria, such as the social, historical and economic and thus depoliticize AMR into an issue that we can supposedly handle in our way of making global health.

Abstract:

As part of a research project aimed to untangle the political ecology of weeds in agriculture (Argüelles and March, 2022), in this empirical study involving in-depth interviews and multiple field visits to vegetable farmers and agricultural technicians operating in El Maresme (Spain), we unravel the different relations that unfold as herbicide availability and effectiveness contracted in the last few decades.
Complementing traditional approaches to pesticide use that investigate farmers’ decision-making and the structural factors conditioning farmers’ roles as pesticide users, we propose a relational approach that recognizes the different actors, processes, and agential roles embedded in pesticide use (Guthman 2019, Darnhofer 2020). For that, we zoom in on the entangled relations between key actors of the agricultural assemblage such as those between farmers, herbicides, and weeds.
We show how relations between actors of the assemblage unfold as pesticide use and effectiveness contracted over the last decades in three different and connected events: the decrease of herbicide performance, the proliferation of undisciplined weeds, and finally, the diverse and unpredictable reactions of farmers.
This approach allows us to emphasize the role of different actors, their changes, and their reverberations, how they stand next to each other, and the unstable hierarchy among them. For example, nutsedge’s rhizome-based reproduction makes this weed resistant to chemical weeding. This has reverberations in different actors below and above ground, breaking the hierarchy commonly assumed between farmer and weeds.
Our results show that the banning of herbicides and the emergence of a new weed ecology enacted different relations that moved farmers to adopt non-chemical methods. In this process, farmers’ rationales and practices around weeds and weeding unfold as unpredictable, sometimes contradictory, and spatially and temporally variable.

Abstract:

During an interview I have conducted with Martina, she once, very frustrated, told me: "Giulio non porta malattie, sono tutte bugie quelle che dicono loro". Giulio is a Myocastor coypus, and Martina's pet. She is just one of the various coypu owners I have met during my fieldwork, when I have been researching the social and cultural impacts of the presence of this invasive species in northwest Italy. Martina, as many others, has been struggling with both illegality and contempt due to her decision of adopting a coypu as a pet.

The coypu is considered one of the world's most dangerous invasive alien species. In Italy, the legal status of the coypu has been constantly changing to comply with European regulations, and now it is managed through "Piano Nazionale di Gestione della Nutria", which intends to provide a guideline for the management of the control or eradication of coypu colonies in Italy. Among the characteristics that validated its mass eradication – which are related to its environmental impacts — de facto, it seems noteworthy to consider the role of the species as a potential reservoir of diseases, in particular leptospirosis.

My intervention aims to spotlight the ambiguities behind the plan of control and eradication of the coypu. Anchoring to my ethnography fieldwork, I will juxtapose some alternative scientific opinions of the problematicity of the rodent — as well as to the proposal of a control method through sterilization (Chiozzi, Venturini 2008) — to an analysis of the rhetoric of political and popular culture on invasive species, and to the emotional ties which some of my interviewers have forged with coypu. I intend to energize the entanglements that this species generates with social and political dimensions and highlight the clashes that have emerged when biosecurity culture encounters the reality of affection.
