In imagining the `global' as the product of unprecedented flows and circulations, do we tend to ignore its uneven terrain, heterogeneity, and contestation? How might we resist taking the hydraulic turn and instead write critical histories of `global' health? Postcolonial analysis can offer critical and realistic histories of scale making in biomedicine, of the configuring of the local and the global in global health. Thus we might hold within the same analytic frame biomedical colonial patriotism in the Philippines, biocolonial collecting in highland New Guinea, and the technoscientific nationalism of Biopolis in contemporary Singapore.
