"Que se passe-t-il lorsque la violence sème le chaos? Dans la nuit du 13 novembre 2015, la ville de Paris est ainsi dévastée par une série d'attentats, les attentats-suicides au Stade de France, l'attaque du Bataclan, et les fusillades dans plusieurs bars et restaurants. À l'été 2016, l'anthropologue Robert Desjarlais vient à Paris. Il commence à réfléchir sur l'intensité des attentats et les effets de la violence sur la vie et l'histoire de la ville. En flânant dans Paris, en visitant les sites des attentats, il rencontre les traces de la violence et il étudie les mémoriaux collectifs avec les mots et les images sur les murs des bâtiments. Il propose ce livre qui est une réflexion originale sur la violence dans le monde contemporain, ainsi que sur la politique de la mémoire et de l'oubli."

This volume, written in a readable and enticing style, is based on a simple premise, which was to have several exceptional ethnographers write about their experiences in an evocative way in real time during the COVID-19 pandemic. Rather than an edited volume with dedicated chapters, this book thus offers a new format wherein authors write several, distinct dispatches, each short and compact, allowing each writer's perspectives and stories to grow, in tandem with the pandemic itself, over the course of the book. Leaving behind the trope of the lonely anthropologist, these authors come together to form a collective of ethnographers to ask important questions, such as: What does it mean to live and write amid an unfolding and unstoppable global health and economic crisis? What are the intensities of the everyday? How do the isolated find connection in the face of catastrophe? Such first-person reflections touch on a plurality of themes brought on by the pandemic, forces and dynamics of pressing concern to many, such as contagion, safety, health inequalities, societal injustices, loss and separation, displacement, phantasmal imaginings and possibilities, the uncertain arts of calculating risk and protection, limits on movement and travel, and the biopolitical operations of sovereign powers. The various writings-spun from diverse situations and global locations-proceed within a temporal flow, starting in March 2020, with the first alerts and cases of viral infection, and then move on to various currents of caution, concern, infection, despair, hope, and connection that have unfolded since those early days. The writings then move into 2021, with events and moods associated with the global distribution of potentially effective vaccines and the promise and hope these immunizations bring. The written record of these multiform dispatches involves traces of a series of lives, as the authors of those lives tried to make do, and write, in trying times. A timely ethnography of an event that has changed all our lives, this book is critical reading for students and researchers of medical anthropology, sociocultural anthropology, contemporary anthropological theory, and ethnographic writing.
