In the age of microbiome research, Earth system science, and the Anthropocene, American cell and microbiologist Lynn Margulis (1938-2011) has become a poster child of science studies and adjacent art-science worlds. Scholars such as Donna Haraway, Bruno Latour, and Isabelle Stengers have each found in Margulis’s work inspiration for their own conceptions of human-nature relations and onto-epistemological models, thereby turning her into a celebrity, a witness, and sometimes a prophet.

In 1497, explorer John Cabot returned to Bristol from a voyage across the North Atlantic. He told of waters so thick with cod that the fish could be lifted straight on board in baskets. At this time, fish was a high-priced, limited resource in Europe. The Grand Banks fishery in Newfoundland soon offered abundant high-quality, low-priced catches to the European market. Tens of thousands of Spanish, Portuguese, French and English fishers flocked to this fishery and, by 1600, Europe was experiencing a ‘Fish Revolution’.
Date and Time: Monday 27 November 2023 | 12.30pm - 1.45pm

Matriliny is relatively widespread across Africa, even today. Modern matrilineal families create communities and social safety nets that offer alternative ways for survival in contrast to failed policies proposed by African national governments and development organizations. Matriliny has proved remarkably resilient, despite other social and socio-economic changes, but often it has gone under the radar.

Decades of scholarship on the mechanisms of knowledge formation have generated a wide awareness that the transhistorical nature of knowledge and authoritative statements of truth need to be approached critically. It has become a truism that scientific knowledge is never outside of historical contingencies, that range from large-scale dynamics to institutional idiosyncrasies. For every epistemic poetics that gained wider currency, non-poetic modes of knowledge foundered due to undercurrents that are not mapped and of which we are often unaware today.
