| Inhalt | Covid-19 has once again contributed to discussions regarding the possible transmission of pathogens from non-human vertebrates to humans. Zoonotic diseases not only require attention to such "spill-over" moments, but also highlight the coexistence of humans, animals, pathogens, and parasites in what is currently being called the Anthropocene. Entanglements are multifaceted, they can be both beneficial (e.g. animal therapeutics) and harmful, and they raise ontological questions about life itself. In this seminar, we will engage in such debates from an anthropological perspective. Our main focus will be on health in a broad sense, as medical anthropology is currently calling for defining health and well-being within a multispecies reality. The various case studies we will discuss will take us to African contexts and beyond, emphasizing the importance of the ethnographic specificities of varying local contexts. |
