observateurs d\u2019oiseaux aux <\/strong>fronti\u00e8res de la Chine<\/strong><\/p>\n Introduction to the discussion by Jean Goizauskas<\/a><\/p>\n Publisher\u2019s presentation<\/em>: La pand\u00e9mie est l\u2019un de ces \u00e9v\u00e9nements catastrophiques\u00a0qui suscitent une mobilisation mondiale. L\u2019apparition d\u2019un nouveau coronavirus en Chine, en d\u00e9cembre 2019, a confirm\u00e9 le caract\u00e8re cyclique des pand\u00e9mies, apr\u00e8s la \u00ab grippe espagnole \u00bb en 1918, la \u00ab grippe asiatique \u00bb en 1957, la \u00ab grippe de Hong Kong \u00bb en 1968, la fi\u00e8vre h\u00e9morragique Ebola en 1976, le vih en 1981 ou encore le sras en 2003. Ces \u00e9v\u00e9nements obligent les autorit\u00e9s de sant\u00e9 globale \u00e0 ma\u00eetriser les\u00a0risques pour affronter les cons\u00e9quences sanitaires, morales, g\u00e9opolitiques et \u00e9conomiques des crises pand\u00e9miques, dans un monde marqu\u00e9 par des transformations dramatiques\u00a0dans l\u2019urbanisation, l\u2019\u00e9levage industriel, la d\u00e9forestation et le changement climatique. Les sentinelles animales, plac\u00e9es sur la ligne de front des \u00ab guerres contre les virus \u00bb, sont valoris\u00e9es parce qu\u2019elles d\u00e9tectent l\u2019apparition des maladies infectieuses \u00e9mergentes \u00e0 travers des signaux d\u2019alerte pr\u00e9coce.<\/p>\n Les Sentinelles des pand\u00e9mies repose sur une recherche ethnographique conduite \u00e0 Hong Kong, Ta\u00efwan et Singapour, trois territoires situ\u00e9s aux fronti\u00e8res de la Chine et connect\u00e9s au reste du monde. Cet ouvrage montre comment les\u00a0\u00ab chasseurs de virus \u00bb et les responsables de la sant\u00e9 publique s\u2019allient avec les v\u00e9t\u00e9rinaires et les observateurs d\u2019oiseaux pour suivre les mutations des virus de grippe entre les oiseaux sauvages, les volailles domestiques et les humains. Par les m\u00e9thodes de l\u2019anthropologie sociale, il d\u00e9crit la mani\u00e8re\u00a0dont les techniques de pr\u00e9paration en vue d\u2019une pand\u00e9mie transforment les relations entre humains et non-humains dans le temps long de l\u2019Anthropoc\u00e8ne.<\/em><\/p>\n A pandemic is one of these catastrophic events that prompt global mobilization. The emergence of a new coronavirus in China in December 2019 confirmed the cyclical nature of pandemics, after the \u201cSpanish flu\u201d in 1918, the \u201cAsian flu\u201d in 1957, the \u201cHong Kong flu\u201d in 1968, Ebola hemorrhagic fever in 1976, hiv in 1981 and sars in 2003. These events require global health authorities to control risks in order to face the health, moral, geopolitical and economic consequences of pandemic crises in a world marked by dramatic transformations in urbanization, industrial livestock farming, deforestation and climate change. Animal sentinels, placed on the front line of the \u201cwars against viruses\u201d, are valued because they detect emerging infectious diseases through early warning signals.<\/p>\n Les Sentinelles des pand\u00e9mies<\/em> is based on an ethnographic research led in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore, three territories bordering China and connected to the rest of the world. The book shows how \u201cvirus hunters\u201d and public health officials team up with veterinarians and bird watchers to track the mutation of influenza viruses between wild birds, domestic poultry and humans. Using the methods of social anthropology, it describes how pandemic preparedness techniques are transforming human and non-human relationships over the long Anthropocene time span.<\/p>\n Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Keck, Les Sentinelles des pand\u00e9mies.
