This panel seeks to look at Ebola emergency from four of its caracteristic:
Science, Global Health, poscoloniality and the State. What does their
articulation produces at different scales and places?
*Long Abstract*
Emergency is analysed as a rhetoric characterizing the moral economy of the
contemporary (Fassin, Pandolfi 2013). Grounding our reflexion on current
Ebola epidemic, we want to re-interrogate emergency focusing on its
specificity: the articulation of Science, Global Health, poscoloniality and
States. What does this articulation produce with regard to spaces and
scales. We propose three questions:
1) Emergency and the experience of citizenship: Ebola has highlighted
the (re)configuration of the social contract (what it means to be cared for
by the State, or by NGO's). Although Ebola pandemic can be seen as a test
for citizenship (Somers 2008), it can be seen as well as a concrete
experiment of how people practically belong to the world.
2) Science and Emergency: Ebola epidemic gave rise to mobilization of
research teams. They became involved building on their experience gained in
other fields. How did they negotiate their experience with emergency? What
consequences on their practices? How did science redefined what emergency
is? Reacting to emergency imposes itself as a moral duty. Nevertheless the
rapidity of the answer has to do with know how. Emergency needs to be
thought as preparedness too.
3) Care and Emergency: the question of the q
