The seamless web of next generation sequencing and Covid-19

"When is Covid Covid?" is the title of a discussion paper published by the Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine at Oxford University on 11 September 2020. Amid the multinational struggle for an appropriate social and political approach to the crisis triggered by Covid-19, a recognized panel of medical experts alerts us that Covid-19 is defined very differently in different contexts. One definition focuses on symptoms, another one on RNA sequences of the virus. In the present contribution, this debate is taken up to discuss the extent to which new sequencing practices and their "seamless webs" become socially effective as instances of interpretation and design. At the same time, the limitations of such webs become noticeable as ruptures, seams, and scars.... view less

"Wann ist Covid Covid?" titelt ein Diskussionsbeitrag des Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine der Universität Oxford vom 11. September 2020. Inmitten des multinationalen Ringens um einen geeigneten gesellschaftlichen wie politischen Umgang mit der durch Covid- 19 ausgelösten Krisensituation weist ein anerkanntes medizinisches Expert*innengremium darauf hin, dass Covid-19 in unterschiedlichen Kontexten sehr unterschiedlich definiert wird. Bei einer Definition geht es um klinische Symptome am Menschen, bei einer anderen um RNA-Sequenzen des Virus. In dem Beitrag wird diese Frage aufgegriffen und diskutiert, inwiefern neue Sequenzierungspraktiken und deren "nahtlose Netze" als Deutungs- und Gestaltungsinstanzen gesellschaftlich wirkmächtig werden. Dabei zeigen sich auch die Grenzen solcher Netze in Form von Brüchen, Nähten und Narben.... view less
