La langue, matière à machines
Cet article présente l’aspect matériel de l’inscription du langage comme l’enjeu d’une poétique, d’une clinique psychique et d’une cartographie « machinée ». Les poésies sonores et concrètes isolent la composante acoustique de la langue orale et la dimension visuelle de l’écriture. Une figure de l’art brut invente de nouveaux alphabets pour saisir l’être des mots. Un designer cherche à appliquer sa méthode « onto-cartographique » au-delà des seul…
Des victimes qui comptent
Les enquêtes anthropologiques devant les comités d'éthique de la recherche
Dans cet entretien avec Baptiste Moutaud et Anthony Stavrianakis, anthropologues travaillant dans le domaine de la santé, Jessica de Largy Healy et Monica Heintz questionnent leur expérience internationale des comités d'éthique de la recherche, dans un contexte où les codes, institutions et protocoles éthiques nés dans le milieu anglo-saxon arrivent massivement en Europe et aussi dans la recherche anthropologique française. En réfléchissant colle…
Thinking through troubled relationships: Everyone complicit
Figurations of complicity occupy a highly visible place in our contemporary political and moral imaginations. But what does it mean exactly to be "complicit"? Behind its apparently intuitive character, complicity turns out to be a complex notion, involving theories of mind and action, conceptions of responsibility, of the person, as well as ideas about intention. In the field of law as well as in operations of moral judgment, complicity takes dif…
The Trials of Madness: Explorations and experiments with human lives
In Western modernity, madness constitutes a universe of otherness and alteration that opens up the exploration and experimentation of the forms of the human being. It challenges scientific epistemologies as much as it gives access to a singular representation of reality and contributes to the construction of our common world. The contributions in this issue explore these themes on three intimately intertwined levels: experiences, experimentations…

Can we fall in love with everything: Borderline forms of the amorous relation
In 2018, in Japan, a 35-year-old employee celebrates his marriage to a digital pop idol, Hatsune Miku, causing a media storm. The reasons that drive so many people here and elsewhere to form privileged relationships with non-humans, even to the point of giving them the semblance of conjugal bliss, are misunderstood. In order to elucidate why certain objects arouse public debate concerning their power of seduction, a detour through anthropology is…
Angoisse: Genèse d’un récit
Angoisse. Histoire du parcours d’une mourante (1970) est une illustration de la grounded theory (théorie ancrée) déjà travaillée par les sociologues Anselm Strauss et Barney Glaser dans Awareness of Dying (1965) et Time for Dying (1968). Plus rarement citée que ces deux derniers, Angoisse est le récit des deux derniers mois de vie de Mme Abel, mourant d’un cancer dans un service hospitalier entre la fin de l’automne 1963 et l’hiver 1964. Nous nou…
Thinking the Obvious: Determination and Indetermination in a Voluntary Death
This article traces the steps taken by a particular person, Peter, towards an assisted voluntary death, in Switzerland, in order to grasp and analyse the negotiations that accompany such an undertaking, as well as the carrying out of such a contemporary manner of dying. Two moments in particular are observed, which reveal two distinct and interconnected concerns. The first moment is that of medical examination, one step of the process through whi…
Penser l'évidence: Détermination et indétermination dans la mort volontaire
Cet article suit la démarche d'un homme, Peter, vers une mort volontaire assistée, en Suisse, afin de saisir et d'analyser aussi bien les négociations qui l'accompagnent que la mise en œuvre de cette nouvelle manière de mourir. Deux moments sont plus particulièrement observés, qui sont révélateurs de deux enjeux différents mais liés entre eux. Le premier est l'examen médical, une des étapes du processus d'évaluation par les professionnels, au cou…
Devenir destinataire
Si l’on jouait avec les mots, on pourrait voir dans la conclusion d’« Enquêter auprès des morts » l’envers de la célèbre maxime de Marshall McLuhan (1977) sur les médias : « Le message, c’est le médium ». Ce que nous dit Vinciane Despret, en substance, c’est que le message n’est pas le médium. La signification du message d’un disparu, autrement dit, n’est pas donnée a priori par la personne qui le transmet à un destinataire préétabli. Le message …
F oucault, M ichel (1926–84)
Michel Foucault was a French philosopher and historian. His work consisted in the pursuit of original and powerful approaches to the historical analysis of forms and practices through which human beings have sought to know, manage, and work on themselves and others. His critical historical inquiry into the politics and ethics of truth practices operated in heterogeneous domains, ranging from psychiatry to sexuality. He also worked at a range of s…
Survivances des images de la mort: L’agencement du désir dans une mort volontaire assistée
Pourquoi certaines personnes veulent-elles sortir d’une expérience de maladie – j’entends par là : mettre fin à leur vie – en recourant au suicide assisté ? Dans de nombreux cas, dans celui d’un grand nombre de personnes que j’ai pu rencontrer pour parler de leur propre demande d’aide au suicide ou de celle d’un proche en Suisse – des résidents suisses aussi bien que des étrangers qui souhaitaient s’y rendre dans le but de mettre fin à leur vie –…
Les objets composés: Agencements, dispositifs, assemblages
L'hétérogénéité profonde des réalités dont les sciences sociales ont à se saisir crée du trouble, mais elle laisse surtout entrevoir de nouvelles lignes de recherche. Ce que nous pointons, ce n'est pas la variabilité qui émerge nécessairement d'une enquête empirique, et qu'un chercheur s'attache en partie à réduire. Ce ne sont pas non plus les interdépendances entre des formes de matérialité non sociales et les objets que les sciences sociales on…
Le suicide assisté au tribunal. Le modèle suisse face à la demande des personnes atteintes de troubles psychiatriques
En Suisse, l'aide au suicide s'est développée de façon adjacente aux institutions médicales et juridiques, en s'appuyant sur une forte mobilisation associative. Dans les années 1990, de vives confrontations opposant associations et autorités médico-administratives ont abouti à l'adoption d'un moratoire concernant l'aide au suicide des personnes atteintes de troubles psychiatriques. C'est dans ce contexte qu'un procès pénal a été intenté contre le…

Moments in Collaboration: Experiments in Concept Work
There is an increasing focus among anthropologists on the theme of collaboration with the people they work with and with other disciplines in the university space. Frequently justified in political terms of participation, there is often less attention paid to the conceptual work in and of collaboration. In opposition to the attention given to the processes of exchange during fieldwork, there is rarely a description of the actual forms and practic…
Obstinacy and suicide: Rethinking Durkheim’s vices
This article takes Durkheim's Le suicide as a conceptual testing ground for an ongoing field inquiry into assisted suicide in Switzerland. It tackles the question of the extent to which a Durkheimian approach to the social facticity of human practices can adequately grasp the ethico-pragmatic variation in which people give form to their lives, especially under heavily constrained circumstances. The article makes two interventions: it first draws …

Diagnosing the present and caring for the contemporary: Thinking with Foucault today
International audience
From Anthropologist to Actant (and back to Anthropology): Position, Impasse, and Observation in Sociotechnical Collaboration
Anthropologists are increasingly invited to participate in collaborations with natural scientists, among other experts, in their capacity as anthropologists. Such invitations give pause for thought about the character of the positions and practices that an anthropologist can occupy and perform. This article draws on participant observation in the Socio-Technical Integration Research (STIR) project, an endeavor based at Arizona State University, w…
Forms
This chapter takes up Foucault’s identification of the necessity of inverting the priority of ideas and values over forms. The chapter discusses anthropological work on form specifically that work associated with practices of collaboration and the construction of foyer d’expérience,venues in which forms, modes and norms of knowledge, behaviour and experience are assembled. The chapter reflects on form-giving and ethical practice in foyers of the …
Gerhard Richter’s Pathos
This chapter takes up the work of the German painter Gerhard Richter as well as the critical apparatus and reception that has gathered around his artistic production as exemplary of a situation that can be taken up as contemporary. The chapter argues that Richter himself in his work as well as his elliptic commentary on his paintings and in his replies to his interpreters adopts a distinctive contemporary practice. He does so by tacitly focusing …
Problematization of the Modern
This chapter narrates a shift in anthropological problematization from nature and culture to the problem space of bios. It discusses philosopher Hans Blumenberg’s account of the legitimacy of modernity as turning on a refusal of the reoccupation of prior problem spaces and Clifford Geertz’s identification of breakdowns in anthropology as a form of conduct. The chapter outlines the contours of a problem of truth and conduct, in a problem space of …
Designs on the Contemporary: Anthropological Tests
This title pursues the challenge of how to design and put into practice strategies for inquiring into the intersections of philosophy and anthropology. Drawing on the conceptual repertoires of Max Weber, Michel Foucault, and John Dewey, among others, Paul Rabinow and Anthony Stavrianakis reflect on and experiment with how to give form to anthropological inquiry and its aftermath, with special attention to the ethical formation and ramifications o…

Configurations of Actual Discordancy
This chapter focuses on the assemblages, vectors and functionings of the configurations of actual discordancy. It identifies the elements of discordancy by casting them in configurations that privilege specific variables such as modes of intervention, metrics, and figuration.
On Leaving the Field: Ausgangshaltung
This chapter attempts to address a number of relevant areas through a set of analytic reflections on the passage from a distinctive form of participant-observation toward an anthropology of the contemporary. Among these are: (1) the problem of the relations of fieldwork and the knowledge produced from it; and (2) how one exits the field and what one engages in during the subsequent period. It deploys the concept of Haltung as an essential element…
Conclusion: Demands of the Day
This conclusion presents some final reflections on the labors of collaborative fieldwork. It also discusses the conceptual parameters of the terms “the contemporary” and “the present”.
Collaborative Fieldwork
This chapter discusses the preparatory stage of collaborative fieldwork. It also presents some reflections on the forms of power relations identified by Michael Foucault, preparedness, equipment and venue-mode subjectivation.
Recuperate and Curate
This chapter discusses the multiple challenges encountered during the fieldwork stage. These include recuperation and curation. In recuperation, the task involved identifying the objects from fieldwork and work through them. On the other hand, curation is an activity of turning objects into artifacts and artifacts into terms.

The Rushdie Affair
This chapter takes up Salman Rushdie's novel The Satanic Verses and the aftermath of its publication - the "Rushdie Affair" –in terms of an anthropology of the contemporary. The chapter observes Rushdie's working through of a series of indeterminations, about culture, truth and narrative mood, in the novel and in the increasingly discordant situation of the affair - at a second order of observation. This second order observation is of the experie…
Logic
This chapter lays out the logical progression of thought that provides motion from the actual toward the contemporary. It discusses Dewey’s distinction between propositions and judgments and the pertinence of such a distinction for forging pragmatic reductions (of experience) through which an inquiry can be formed, be advanced, and transformed. Such pragmatic reductions, in the form of judgments, require the transformation of propositions about a…
Checking the Contemporary
The conclusion raises the argument back to a philosophical level. It engages several maxims from Adorno’s Minima Moralia by taking them up and re-interpreting them as maxims of an anthropology of the contemporary. By so doing, the central themes of the book can be highlighted. What are the components of a contemporary ethos for one committed to understanding the world today? What form would an anthropology of the contemporary seeking to bring pra…
