Cache‐Cache: Dans les souffles du Grand Fleuve…
Between ventriloquism and divination, devotion and consecration, an old and sublime marine game unfolds each day, with living breaths shared in the waters of the great river. In Tadoussac, on the north shore of the St. Lawrence Estuary, at the mouth of the Saguenay, the rumor of whales has long resonated. Here, multiple ecologies intersect: the millennia‐old ones of cetaceans, wind, and shoals; the centuries‐old ones of Indigenous fishers (Innu, …
River Energies: Streaming Contested Waterworlds along the Ottawa River
From 2024 and its spring débâcle to 2025’s first fall snow, an ethnographical collective of researchers from the University of Ottawa took off from campus for two ‘‘river semesters.’’ Following a speculative drop of water taken from the Kichissippi River (the Ottawa River in English or rivière des Outaouais in French), we fieldworked in, on and around water for an experience in elemental anthropology. We engaged with the various circulations sust…
Tracer sa Route: Descentes de rivières et sensibilités écotouristiques québécoises
Alors que l’écotourisme se positionne au Québec comme une alternative économique « durable » face aux industries extractives classiques, nous interrogeons, à travers la pratique du canot de rivière, les modes de relation écologiques propres à cette économie en pleine expansion. Engagés comme anthropologues et apprentis canoteurs dans une recherche partenariale entre l’Université d’Ottawa, le CREDDO et Canot Kayak Québec, nous avons été invités à …
Anthropocènes
Depuis son apparition au tournant des années 2000, le concept d’Anthropocène s’impose progressivement comme cadre de référence dans les réflexions sur les bouleversements écologiques contemporains. En retraçant la généalogie du concept et la prolifération de ses usages scientifiques, politiques, médiatiques et culturels, se dessinent les tensions qu’il cristallise en tant qu’hyperconcept, au croisement des mesures géologiques et des récits planét…
Sous l'imagination des formes, l'imagination des substances: Enquêtes holographiques dans et autour de la mine Forsyth
Depuis 4 ans, le HumAnimaLab travaille dans le parc de la Gatineau, une aire de conservation en bordure de la capitale canadienne, Ottawa. Dans ce parc se trouve une mine désaffectée et inondée (creusée à la pioche, sur des territoires non cédés et qui incarne bien le programme économique et cosmologique extractif du jeune pays de l'époque). Dans cette mine, une équipe de plongeurs a réalisé plusieurs collectes d'échantillons d'eau, et par là-mêm…
Evaluating science: Opening a debate
This article briefly reviews the long-lasting commitment of Social Science Information to the critical analysis of orders of knowledge and the conditions for their creation to, subsequently, reflect on the current co-existence of a plurality of orders of justification across society, including the institutions of knowledge production. Furthermore, it suggests that recent social transformations have accentuated an asymmetry within this plurality, …
Uncertainty and the prospect of major social transformations
This editorial addresses the current public-health emergency and assesses its potential to become an event in the sense of a structure-transforming occurrence. This emergency is briefly compared with climate change and the current challenges to democracy, arguing that all these phenomena point to similar deficiencies in societal self-understanding and socio-political organization
Measurements and their limits
Knowledge and society: Changing practices and persistently intractable issues

L'écume des mondes: Anthropologie du vivant, phénoménologie humanimale et autres trafics épistémiques le long de la rivière Kinabatangan
Cet article revient sur les enjeux phénoménologiques, à la fois épistémiques et méthodologiques, soulevés par la recherche scientifique lorsque celle-ci s'intéresse au(x) vivant(s). Cent cinquante ans après A.R. Wallace et la publication de sonMalay Archipelago (1855) (dont je problématise ici un certain rapport à l'animal), j'offre une série d'éléments étho-ethnologiques issus d'un travail de terrain mené sur l'île de Bornéo au contact d'une com…
Emergence(s): An introduction
Repurposing emergence theories: An interview with Andrew Pelling
Andrew Pelling is a Canadian experimental scientist who uses low-cost, open source materials to create the medical technology of the future. He runs an interdisciplinary, curiosity-driven lab at the University of Ottawa ( pellinglab.net ), where he researches non-genetic ways to create artificial tissues and organs. Much of his experimental work has led to new insights in cancer pathology, muscle degeneration and stem-cell development. He has a c…
Poached lives, traded forms: Engaging with animal trafficking around the globe
From the depths of the Borneo jungle to private ménageries through the dark web, this article investigates the expansion of contemporary wildlife trafficking and maps an early twenty-first-century booming trade in living organisms, dead animal parts and metempsychic imaginaries. Fuelled by a multiplicity of emergent relational entanglements, such traffic involves life and death matters, big money interests, coveted commercial routes (and their ex…
In the (bleary) eye of the tiger: An anthropological journey into jungle backyards
North America shelters a growing population of so-called 'exotic animals'. If the phenomenon is not recent, it now fuels a considerable black market. Jungle backyards compose a non-negligible (yet often neglected) part of some modern ecological landscapes. This article explores problematical situations emerging from these shared humanimal lives. It presents the first results of a multi-species ethnography and examines the prevalence of what I cal…
Beastness Is Our Culture Le legs de Marshall McLuhan aux Études animales
Shaping a human world is generally understood from an inorganic point of view. Sand becomes microchips while stones are turned into homes, projectiles or writing surfaces. In this article, I suggest broadening these conceptions and looking at the shaping of our world from an organic point of view, with an emphasis on communities composed of humans and their other ancestrally modified companions: “domestic” animals. Using a media ecology-oriented …
Une souris verte… Organismes transgéniques, spéculations humanimales et autres bricolages du vivant
Dans cet article, je m’intéresse à l’existence (souvent invisible, parfois oubliée et pourtant décisive) d’une compagnie animalière en plein essor, celle des souris transgéniques cancéreuses. Chaque semaine « sortent » en effet, des laboratoires américains Charles River, des milliers de souriceaux aux génomes modifiés garantissant les tumeurs à venir. Commandés en ligne, livrables à travers le globe, souvent transportés via UPS ou Purolator, à de…
