A contrast to the concepts of communicability and biocommunicability that Charles L. Brigg's has developed throughout his career to study circulatory and biomedical power, incommunicability instead highlights the moments in which forms of communication face failure. Incommunicable questions dominant notions of communicability, which construct discourse and pathogens as inherently mobile, by rethinking the works and lives of philosopher-physicians John Locke, Frantz Fanon, and George Canguilhem, as well as W. E. B. Du Bois. Drawing on examples such as doctor-patient interaction within racialized communities and an extensive study of the COVID-19 pandemic, Briggs addresses the erosion of trust and rejection of expertise that has become prominent in science and medicine.
