Follow the Image: Seeing the Entanglement of Health and Security
Join the Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future for the next talk in its Global Health Politics Workshop series. The event, titled "Follow the Image: Seeing the Entanglement of Health and Security,” will feature Katharina Krause (Research Associate, International Center for Ethics in the Sciences and Humanities, University of Tübingen). Drawing on visual material from health crises of the 21st century, Katharina Krause explores the relationship between images, health, and security. Through three visual nodal points – the protection suit, the suffering body, and the virus – Krause demonstrates how integral images have been for constructing our experience and understanding of health security. This talk will explore how images make visible different layers of health security and how these layers unfold within the image; between, in front, and behind the camera; between the depicted person and onlooker; and ultimately between populations in the Global North and Global South. This monthly speaker series brings together leading social scientists from the disciplines of anthropology, political science, and sociology to advance the understanding of health phenomena in a globally interconnected world. The series operates in a hybrid format to accommodate participation in person and via Zoom.
