"Times New Roman"">This special issue of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style:
normal"><a href="https://www.euppublishing.com/loi/soma">Somatechnics</a></i> calls for contributions
that critically examine and challenge the somatechnics of race. Somatechnics focuses on the role of bodies, technologies, and power. Where and how does race figure in this nexus? Important contributions to the somatechnics of race include the landmark essay,
‘The somatechnics of race and whiteness’ (2009) from Joseph Pugliese and Susan Stryker. Here the authors outline a conceptual approach to race and whiteness as ‘somatechnical practices’ (p. 4) vis-à-vis the work of Michel Foucault. Pugliese and Stryker argue
somatechnics connects Foucault’s identification of the ‘anatamo-political’ exercise of power on individual bodies and biopower’s exercise on the ‘mechanisms of life’ at the level of the population (2009, p. 3). That is, the racialisation of bodies as a somatechnics
links the individual disciplinary role of racism and racial identification to the broader population and state functioning of racial demographics and state violence. In another theoretical vein, Suvendrini Perera and Puglise (2011) have utilised Frantz Fanon’s
experiential accounts of racism necessitating combat breathing (1970), which can be understood as a phenomenonological account of the somatechnologies of race. Elaine Laforteza has extended the conceptualisation of the somatechnics of race and colonialism
to include religious and secular dimensions (2015). Pugliese’s recent work situates the genealogies of racio-speciesism within the ontological distinctions between the human and non-human (2020) with somatechnical applications. Studies on the somatechnologies
of medicine (Hvidtfeldt et al., 2021), cinema (Keegan, Horak & Steinbock, 2018), and sport (Hokowhitu, 2021) have also contributed to investigations of the different formations of the somatechnics of race.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:
"Times New Roman"">Further applications of the somatechnics of race could consider ‘land technologies of terra nullius’ (Curley, 2021, p. 388) and their spatialisation and
racialisation of First Nations. Aileen Moreton-Robinson’s instrumental conceptualisation of white possession as foundational to racial supremacy and the negation of Indigenous sovereignties (2015) has continuing relevance to the somatechnologies of race and
coloniality as well as Foucauldian understandings of biopower. How the somatechnologies of race are embedded in infrastructural violence and the social categorisations (van der Tuin and Randell-Moon, 2019) of data and human services are also productive sites
of inquiry.</span></p>
