red/black/green: The Indian Ocean in Hues

keywords:

maritime anthropology

vulnerability

body

To see the ocean as a site of history is to follow itineraries of the body at sea. At a time when the sea laps at sinking shorelines and makeshift vessels, this panel explores the materialities, economies, and affects of human and nonhuman life in oceanic spaces. We ask how bodies are made and transformed in relation with the sea and its inhabitants, and how new forms of risk and vulnerability animate maritime economies in the anthropocene. At interface with the body, the sea becomes a source of both pain and pleasure, a place to make wealth and make kin, a site of extraction and deposit, freedom and bondage, of loss and gain. This panel is an invitation to imagine the body at sea as a site of ethnographic inquiry which exceeds conventional geopolitical and epistemological bounds, as well as a figure for understanding the uneven terrors and possibilities of our times.
