No full textTana River County, Kenya. Taken on 12 March 2016 (Source). Author: Adam H. T. Geele (CC BY 3.0). Yanis MOKRI, “Archaeology of a Rural Landscape: The Case of the Tana Delta in Kenya.” Mambo! Vol. XVI (9), 2019. Introduction Since the 1940s, the history of coastal Kenya relies essentially on monumental trading centres studies of the last millennium and a half. On the contrary, hinterlands of those remarkable cities were not subjects of research before the late 1970s. During the 1980s two..
Social sciences approach of medical controversy
No full textBruno Latour, dans sa Vie de Laboratoire en 1979, a rapporté son travail de recherche en anthropologie, mené en immersion dans un laboratoire de neuroendocrinologie. Dans une approche comparable, cette thèse rapporte un travail de recherche mené suite à quatre ans d’immersion en observation participante dans un centre de lutte contre les maladies infectieuses, l’IHU Méditerranée Infection. L’auteur observe, avec un regard de chercheur en sciences sociales, les intersections entre la recherche scientifique et le débat public. Cette thèse a été rédigée en quatre grandes parties. D’abord, en s’appuyant sur les travaux de Bruno Latour, l’auteur décrit son approche immersive au sein de l’IHU Méditerranée Infection. Ensuite, l’auteur présente la démarche épistémologique qui sous-tend la prévalence de certains outils et certaines méthodes dans les travaux qui émergent en temps de crise, à partir de trois références de l’épistémologie : Karl Popper, Thomas Kuhn, Paul Feyerabend, en les complétant par les travaux de John Ioannidis. Puis, en s’intéressant notamment aux travaux de Bruno Latour sur Louis Pasteur et les Pasteuriens, l’auteur s’intéresse aux interactions entre science de la santé et politique : quand la science sert de support à des décisions et à la décision politique, qu’est-ce qui est scientifique, qu’est-ce qui est politique ? Enfin, l’auteur explore un biais particulier de la recherche médicale : la question des conflits d’intérêt et l’impact qu’ont les financements de l’industrie pharmaceutique sur la médecine et la recherche, en particulier en temps de controverse.Bruno Latour, in his Laboratory Life in 1979, reported on his research work in anthropology, carried out in immersion in a neuroendocrinology laboratory. In a comparable approach, this thesis reports a research work carried out following four years of immersion in participant observation in a center for the fight against infectious diseases, the IHU Méditerranée Infection. The author observes, with the eyes of a social scientist, the intersections between scientific research and public debate. This thesis has been written in four main parts. First, drawing on the work of Bruno Latour, the author describes his immersive approach within the IHU Méditerranée Infection. Then, the author presents the epistemological approach which underlies the prevalence of certain tools and certain methods in the work that emerges in times of crisis, from three references of epistemology: Karl Popper, Thomas Kuhn, Paul Feyerabend, by supplementing them with the works of John Ioannidis. Then, by focusing in particular on the work of Bruno Latour on Louis Pasteur and the Pasteurians, the author is interested in the interactions between health science and politics: when science serves as a support for decisions and political decision-making, what is scientific, what is political? Finally, the author explores a particular bias in medical research: the issue of conflicts of interest and the impact that funding from the pharmaceutical industry has on medicine and research, especially in times of controversy
