Abstract

[2013] Face à des dangers ou des risques, imminents ou diffus, lancer une alerte est avant tout un acte éthique, délibérément tourné vers autrui. Selon la trajectoire qu'elle emprunte, une alerte peut être à l'origine de controverses ou d'affaires publiques, à travers lesquelles se révèlent des rapports de force et de légitimité. Fondé sur une sociologie de la vigilance, cet ouvrage a installé dans le monde francophone la notion de lanceur d'alerte, clairement distinguée de celle de "whistleblower" utilisée dans le monde anglo-saxon. À partir de trois grands dossiers l'amiante, la radioactivité et les maladies à prions, les auteurs élaborent un modèle de transformation qui mène de l'émergence de signes précurseurs jusqu'à leur inscription dans des dispositifs de régulation. Si les alertes donnent souvent lieu à des conflits durables, elles rendent visibles les prises collectives dont disposent, ou non, les acteurs pour surmonter leur défiance vis-à-vis des institutions et des systèmes d'expertise officiels. Augmentée d'une préface, cette nouvelle édition survient après le vote de la loi sur les lanceurs d'alerte au printemps 2013. En déployant les dynamiques sociales liées aux crises sanitaires et environnementales, qui ne se réduisent pas à l'expression de "peurs irrationnelles", l'ouvrage permet d'en saisir toute la portée politique.

Abstract

The 15th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster offered a timely opportunity for an expert assessment of the current situation and suggestions for approaches to managing the information associated with the site and surrounding contaminated territories. The great quantity of data coming from the contaminated region was and is very difficult to use without he aid of modern information technologies, especially Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS). Application of these technologies, and related expertise, became crucial to the region's economic recovery and sustainability planning. Given the real possibility of a similar accident at nuclear facilities elsewhere around the world, the development of recovery strategies based on experience gained at Chernobyl, using modern scientific methods and technologies, will be invaluable in the future. The presentations and discussion reported in the book have led to some key conclusions. Image maps derived from satellite imagery are the most economical, up to date and readily available basis for Chernobyl-related applications, as well as for other future applications. The study of soil-plant transfer of radionuclides afforded comparatively much more reliable data. GIS in association with adequate knowledge is a valuable tool in decision making and modelling of contaminated areas and objects.

Abstract

"The principal idea behind this volume is to present, in a brief and systematic form, the results from researchers who observed and documented the consequences of the Chernobyl catastrophe. In our view, the need for such an analysis became especially important after September 2005 when the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) presented and widely advertised "The Chernobyl Forum" report [IAEA (2006), The Chernobyl Legacy: Health, Environment and Socio-Economic Impact and Recommendation to the Governments of Belarus, the Russian Federation and Ukraine 2nd Rev. Ed. (IAEA, Vienna): 50 pp.] because it lacked sufficiently detailed facts concerning the consequences of the disaster"--P. x.

Abstract

On April 26, 1986, Unit Four of the Chernobyl nuclear reactor exploded in then Soviet Ukraine. More than 3.5 million people in Ukraine alone, not to mention many citizens of surrounding countries, are still suffering the effects. Life Exposed is the first book to comprehensively examine the vexed political, scientific, and social circumstances that followed the disaster. Tracing the story from an initial lack of disclosure to post-Soviet democratizing attempts to compensate sufferers, Adriana Petryna uses anthropological tools to take us into a world whose social realities are far more immediate and stark than those described by policymakers and scientists. She asks: What happens to politics when state officials fail to inform their fellow citizens of real threats to life? What are the moral and political consequences of remedies available in the wake of technological disasters? Through extensive research in state institutions, clinics, laboratories, and with affected families and workers of the so-called Zone, Petryna illustrates how the event and its aftermath have not only shaped the course of an independent nation but have made health a negotiated realm of entitlement. She tracks the emergence of a "biological citizenship" in which assaults on health become the coinage through which sufferers stake claims for biomedical resources, social equity, and human rights. Life Exposed provides an anthropological framework for understanding the politics of emergent democracies, the nature of citizenship claims, and everyday forms of survival as they are interwoven with the profound changes that accompanied the collapse of the Soviet Union.
