DESCRIPTION:Contemporary imaginaries of ‘planetary health’ in the Anth
 ropocene claim to address pressing global-scale predicaments\, yet are con
 tested by knowledges from different times\, places and scales. In West Afr
 ica and beyond\, I ask - are anthropocenic reconfigurations obscuring crea
 tive\, everyday relationships between people and non-human natures in deal
 ing with infectious threats and maintaining healthy lives and ecologies? W
 ho is gaining and losing?  How can we open up the politics of planetary he
 alth to a greater appreciation of diverse socio-natures\, plurality and un
 certainty?
