From Climate Migration to Anthropocene Mobilities: Shifting the Debate Edited by Christiane Froehlich, Andrew Baldwin and Delf Rothe<\/h2>\n

\u201cThe Anthropocene epoch,\u201d as Claire Colebrook describes it, \u201cappears to mark as radical a shift in species awareness as Darwinian evolution effected for the nineteenth century\u201d (Colebrook 2017). The recent outpouring of ontological speculation on the Anthropocene across the humanities and social sciences certainly testifies to such a radical shift. Dipesh Chakrabarty\u2019s insights about the Anthropocene are emblematic (Chakrabarty 2009). The Anthropocene, he argues, marks not only the moment in which the human, Anthropos<\/em>, becomes fully expressed in the Earth System, but also, paradoxically, the moment in which we lose our ability to grasp what it means to be human. The Anthropocene is scary business. One of the aims of this special issue of Mobilities on \u2018Anthropocene Mobilities\u2019 is to add to this speculative moment by positioning \u2018mobility\u2019 as a key term of reference for thinking with, through and against, the Anthropocene as either a philosophical problem, a political concept, a material condition, or an epoch of deep time ….<\/p>\n

Therapeutic mobilities consist of multiple movements of health-related things and beings, including, though not limited to, nurses, doctors, patients, narratives, information, gifts and pharmaceuticals. These beings and things are made mobile through the work of multiple assemblages (including states, markets, non-markets) creating an infrastructure with the potential to unfold, develop and or expand the therapeutic capacities of these inputs. Mobility can enhance, magnify, distort or intensify the therapeutic effects and powers of these inputs in motion. Mobility thus transforms the practice and product that is being moved. \n\nWhen plants are uprooted in remote Laotian forests, packaged, shipped and sold at farmers\u2019 markets in the U.S. (Bochaton), when aspirational young people in the Philippines and India leave their homes to be trained as nurses to care for patients in the West (Thompson; Walton-Roberts), when distressed patients extend their quest for effective therapies \u2013 often with the help of intermediaries\/facilitators\/brokers (Hartmann) \u2013 to overseas destinations such as fertility clinics in Mexico (Schurr), cancer wards in India (Kaspar) or corporate hospitals in Malaysia (Chee, Whittaker, and Por), they all become productive of the emerging \u2018economies of vitality\u2019\u2014as life itself is made amenable to the new economic space of the \u2018bioeconomy\u2019 (Rose 2007). We interpret these as different examples of what we call therapeutic mobilities.\n\nKeywords: therapeutic mobilities; health worker migration; medical travel; mobile pharmaceuticals; transnational health care; medical globalization; global health; health geography\n\nTherapeutic Mobilities: an introduction by Heidi Kaspar (Careum University of Applied Sciences, Zurich), Audrey Bochaton (University Paris Nanterre) and Margaret Walton-Roberts (Wilfrid Laurier University) http:\/\/bit.ly\/2Lt37lf \n\nAsymmetrical therapeutic mobilities: Masculine advantage in nurse migration from India\nMargaret Walton-Roberts","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1001,998,174],"tags":[678,679,684,680,681,682,677,50,179,683,676],"class_list":["post-4147","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-climate-emergency-mobilities","category-migration","category-mobilities","tag-anthropocene","tag-climate-change","tag-climate-justice","tag-colonialism","tag-fossil-fuels","tag-geology","tag-medical-globalization-global-health-health-geography","tag-migration","tag-mobilities","tag-mobility-justice","tag-therapeutic-mobilities-health-worker-migration-medical-travel-mobile-pharmaceuticals-transnational-health-care"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/cemore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4147","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/cemore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/cemore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/cemore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/221"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/cemore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4147"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/cemore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4147\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/cemore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3987"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/cemore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4147"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/cemore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4147"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.lancaster.ac.uk\/cemore\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4147"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
