does conspiracy do to culture, and to the study of knowledge in culture? This talk takes on the problem of the “cyanide controversy” in the treatment of the survivors of the 1984 Bhopal gas disaster, and looks at what the perceived repression of an antidote
has done to medical treatment and to possibilities for research on the event in the decades since. It looks at the still dominant of sense of suspicion, and the problem of therapeutic non-specificity that has persisted in Bhopal as a result. At stake is how
a foundational conflict over credibility has divided scientists, activists, and government agencies along distinct lines of continued inquiry that are founded on fundamentally different assumptions about the nature of injury, health, and livelihood - with
real consequences for patients. Based on recent fieldwork and archival research, I reflect on the consequences of conspiracy theory after the crime.</font></span></p>
