PANEL #9. FERMENTATION FUTURES: MULTIPLICITIES, MICROBIOMES, MAKING
Fermentation, microbes and microbiomes. At first glance, it would seem that= these three domains arrange themselves in a linear manner=97that we use microbes in fermented p= roduce to secure a healthy gut. In this frequently and publicly repeated framing, microbes are= a lively and technoscientific prosthesis, such that the doings of fermentation aim to op= timise the endgame of human thriving. By focusing on the outcome, ferments become literal elixirs= to restore off-kilter gut microbiomes and, with it, the responsibilization of the individual reinforc= es a healthist approach to fermentation (as in the sentiment, =93eat this, not that, because it=92s go= od for your microbiome=94).
Instead of a narrow focus of optimisation, this panel puts fermentation pra= ctices, the gerunds, the making, as the analytical focal point. Focusing on practices with microbes = during fermentation processes brings attention to the multiplicity of microbes (not their singu= larity) and renders our relationships to them contingent (not causal). Whether or not we are aware = of their presence, microbes are unruly and mobile, mingling and traveling across multiple micr= obiomes in ways that continue to surprise us. Consider, for example, how there is a stronger cor= relation between the hand microbiomes of bakers and the microbial communities of their own sourdough = starters than there is between different sourdough starters. This suggests that microbiomes are al= ways plural, often overlapping, and perpetually on the move... (Continue reading)
