Descriptif

As Latour argues in Où atterrir, comment s’orienter en politique (2017), today the term “local” is often associated with nostalgic and defensive positions, linked to particularity, subjectivity, and sensibility, in contrast to the “global,” which is viewed as a horizon of universality, objectivity, and rationality. To claim proximity to patients or communities suffering from toxic exposure risks being perceived as merely expressing emotional responses rather than offering an analytical perspective on the situation. This is probably why discourses on health, disease and the role of the environment in the emergence of new diseases often prioritise global approaches such as One Health, Global Health and Integrative Health.

In this two-day conference, we aim to take an analytical and critical approach to universal concepts and norms that tend to obscure differences between individuals, the heterogeneity of situations, and localised or individualised approaches to disease and health. Our aim is to examine local health practices, particular behaviours, care strategies and exposures to toxic substances in order to understand how people develop care strategies that differ from those promoted by global public health norms, or how individuals sometimes challenge or reject recommendations disseminated by public health discourses.
