Bruno Latour
Bruno Latour est un des philosophes contemporains les plus influents. Ses études ethnographiques ont révolutionné notre compréhension des sciences, du droit, de la politique et de la religion. Il nous propose une philosophie et une approche des sciences sociales radicalement nouvelles, fondées sur un point de vue réaliste, matérialiste sur le monde. Dans ses livres fondateurs, il proposait de renoncer aux vieilles distinctions propres à la pensée…
Health system factors influencing management of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis in four European Union countries - learning from country experiences
We suggest that the following actions may improve the success of treatment for multidrug-resistant tuberculosis patients: deployment of rapid molecular diagnostic tests; development of context-specific treatment guidance and criteria for hospital admission and discharge in the European context; strengthening patient-centred approaches; development of collaborative mechanisms to ensure cross-border care, and development of long-term sustainable fi…
Taming uncertainty
In the past decade, Renn and others have drawn up classifications of the various types of risk problems. In these taxonomies, degree of incertitude serves as a main distinguishing mark. However, because risk problems may migrate between different categories, these classifications provide unreliable guides for policy‐makers. This paper argues that this flaw points to a deeper issue, viz. the dynamic relations between uncertainty and risk. An appro…
What is Political in Sub-politics
Recent contributions by Collins, Evans, Jasanoff and Wynne to the discussion of how science and technology studies (STS) might contribute to understanding `subpolitics' — the complex, expert knowledge-intensive and distributed political issues technological societies have to deal with — and involvement of STS scholars in experiments to extend public participation in decision-making about science and technology are shown to be based on an un-refle…
