Clogging up the City: Flows of Fat in Bodies and Sewers
Fat is quick to produce, easy to store and yet difficult to breakdown. This paper explores the circulations, deposition and removal of fat in bodies, sewers and cities. Our emphasis is on the metabolisms of fat across the different levels of bodies, infrastructures and cities. We explore three sites of �fat� (im)mobility: first, the anxiety generated by the excessive deposition of fat in obese bodies and the rising �urban fat count�; second, the �sewer-fat crisis� generated by the blockages of coagulated fat in urban sewers; and, finally the league tables used to rank the �Fatness and Fitness of US cities�. Each site provides a window that raises the visibility of the (im)mobilities associated with �fat in the city�. By considering aspects of �clogging-up� and �unclogging� the paper examines the intricate, fragile and shifting configurations of flows between bodies, infrastructure and cities.
