Beyond the Presence: Dwelling with People and with Their Places
No full textThe author intends to indicate some epistemological and political nodes of ‘being there’ at the centre of ULLs, in different forms as implied by the SoHoLab project. At the root of the idea that urban sites can provide an arena of learning within which the co-creation of innovation can be pursued among research organisations, public institutions, the private sector and community actors, lies the possibility of establishing meaningful relationships as a medium to know these sites, construct social design, implement and govern local and national housing policies. In the light of the modus operandi of anthropological field research, on another way to ‘being there’, the author shows how ‘these meaningful social bonds’ to be epistemologically and politically relevant need to be coupled with a strong critical reflexivity able to deconstruct continuously the discursivities (of policies, of disciplinary as common and mainstreaming narratives) and practices of the ULL itself. A cognitive strabismus has to be developed to catch these place-based laboratories and contexts dependents, to make them ‘up close’, apprehend ‘from inside’ and ‘from below’. Analysis situ and analysis in situ are not disjointed: the third space of knowledge construction allows to join them and recognise the logics that govern these social bonds
Gut microbiota: immune system crosstalk: implications for metabolic disease
No full textThe gut microbiome has emerged as a key modulator of human health and disease and one intricately involved in host metabolism and immune function. It contributes an important genetic and metabolic contribution to the human “super-organism” in the shape of gene functions encoded by its metagenome which outnumbers human genes by a factor of 100. Cumulative evidence from diverse human studies and model systems is now showing
that the gut microbiota occupies a critical functional fulcrum within this human “super-organism”, regulating both metabolic and inflammatory processes which not only appear to mediate chronic disease especially the
metabolic syndrome, diabetes, cardiovascular disease but also autoimmune diseases and dementia and possibly the aging processes itself. Diet plays a critical role in shaping the gut microbiota and also in shaping its ability to regulate host metabolism and immune function through production of bioactive metabolites especially the shortchain fatty acids and regulation of bile acid metabolism. In this chapter we discuss the interplay between diet, the gut microbiota and the host immune system in regulating both metabolic and inflammatory processes with particular emphasis on how this interaction impinges on the development of the metabolic syndrom
