DESCRIPTION; CHARSET=UTF-8 :What would a geography of emerging infectious diseases look like?  A familiar answer to this question is based on a map or surface upon and across which diseases emerge and travel.  The language is one of hotspots and viral traffic.  It’s a contagionist as well as topographical disease imagination.  In this paper I want to trace out alternatives that are based on what can be called a disease situation.  In social theory, situations borrow from what might be called site ontologies.  Situations link sites, but in ways that are non-coherent, and certainly fall short of any free-floating whole or emergent property. Situations are, I will argue, spatially and materially composite; they are, after Stengers, ecologies of practices that may well be eventful. To illustrate, I engage with a particular disease situation called avian flu. The aim is to demonstrate the spatial multiplicity that is involved when the object of concern flips between a pathogen and pathogenicity.  The latter is a configurational issue, and invites a range of topological sensibilities.  These sensibilities in turn seem to invite a form of abductive logic, a tacking back and forth between evidence and speculation.  Whether this abductive logic reproduces a security neurosis or opens up new ways of addressing the emergence of disease emergencies is, I argue, an empirical question and requires engaging with disease events as reconfigured situations.http://www.exeter.ac.uk/events/details/?event=2422
