Bruno Latour’s Science Is Politics By Other Means: Between Politics and Ontology
Science Is Politics By Other Means” (SIPBOM) was coined in The Pasteurization of France, Latour’s 1984 empirical study of the birth of microbiology. Yet, it encapsulates an outstanding political theory of science that Latour has never formalized and that has remained unnoticed to this day. The theory is comprised of two dimensions. The first one is the ontological labor performed by science, that is, the laboratory production of new nonhumans. Th…
Pourquoi les exoplanètes sont-elles politiques: Pragmatisme et politicité des sciences dans l’œuvre de Bruno Latour
Pour rapprocher science politique et STS, Bruno Latour a proposé, dans une série d'articles publiés au milieu des années 2000, une conceptualisation du politique comme trajectoire des controverses technoscientifiques. Le politologue Pierre Favre a critiqué cette approche. Notre article prend la position inverse et montre pourquoi la conceptualisation proposée par Latour est parfaitement acceptable pour la science politique parce qu'elle s'enracin…
The Bse Saga: A Cannibalistic Tale
L'évaluation Britannique du risque de transmission de la maladie de la vache folle aux humains
This paper offers a detailed analysis of the events that surrounded the establishment and work of the Southwood Committee set up by the British government to assess the risk of BSE transmission to humans. The Southwood report published in February 1989 claimed that the risk was remote and this scientific assessment provided the foundation for governmental policy until the March 1996 announcement that BSE had transmitted to humans. This analysis f…
La crise de la vache folle au Royaume-Uni. Quelques explications possibles
Le présent article passe en revue les travaux de langue anglaise qui proposent une explication de la crise de l'ESB au Royaume-Uni. La première explication met l'accent sur le réseau de politiques agricole britannique qui réunit l'association nationale des agriculteurs et le ministère de l'agriculture. L'objectif principal de la communauté a été de protéger l'industrie du bœuf aux dépens de la santé publique. La deuxième explication met en éviden…

Narration and Legitimation: The Case of in Vitro Fertilization
This article draws on a conceptualization of the link between science and politics based on discourse analysis. The public objects of science are theorized as discursive creatures. This political concept encapsulates the predetermination of politics by scientific discourse. This framework has been used to study the legitimation of in vitro fertilization in the UK. Through different linguistic and textual mechanisms the discourse of reproductive b…

The UK BSE crisis: Strengths and Weaknesses of Existing Conceptual Approaches
The UK media have paid much more attention to the BSE crisis than have social scientists. Yet, the BSE saga is one of the best opportunities we have to explore the link between science and politics. An attempt must therefore be made to evaluate whether satisfactory explanations of the crisis have been proposed by social scientists. The present paper is a review of the three explanations or lines of argument that can be extracted from existing stu…
L'analyse politique de la science. Technocratie versus discours scientifique
The political analysis of science. Technocracy vs scientific discourse. Eve Seguin [181-193]. Most studies tackling the political function of science call upon the technocratic perspective which is itself comprised of three discrete conceptualisations. Such works are located in the field of sociology since the connection between politics and science is thought to be dependent on a social group - the technocracy. Taking into account the sociology …
Unité et pluralité de l'analyse de discours
Séguin Eve - Unity and plurality of discourse analysis. The notion of conditions of production has been used for a long time to define discourse. This notion seems to have vanished, nevertheless it still exerts a profound influence on discourse analysis (DA). In the first instance, the paper underlines the weaknesses of the notion and shows that it is unable to acknowledge the current diversity of DA. In a second step, an alternative definition o…
