One Health and the Pathways to Ecological Microbial Governance
Novel insights from financial analysis of the failure to commercialise plazomicin
The need for novel antibiotics to combat emerging multi-drug resistant bacterial strains is widely acknowledged. The development of new therapeutic agents relies on small and medium-sized biotechnology enterprises (SMEs), representing 75% of the late-stage pipeline. However, most SME sponsors of an antibacterial approved by the FDA since 2010 have gone bankrupt, or exited at a loss, below investment cost. Uncovering financial flows related to the…
Evidence, Ethos and Experiment
Medical research has been central to biomedicine in Africa for over a century, and Africa, along with other tropical areas, has been crucial to the development of medical science. At present, study populations in Africa participate in an increasing number of medical research projects and clinical trials, run by both public institutions and private companies. Global debates about the politics and ethics of this research are growing and local conce…
Des savoirs profanes à la neuropsychopharmacologie
La première fois que j’ai rencontré Sandrine Musso, c’était il y a douze ans. Je m’en souviens comme si c’était hier, mais j’ai l’impression d’avoir toujours cheminé avec elle. Il y avait certes des parallèles entre un travail avec les associations des personnes vivant avec le VIH, de mon côté en Afrique et du sien, en France. Mais au-delà de ces terrains parallèles, Sandrine incarnait une anthropologie politique de la santé engagée dans laquelle…

The pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) drug Truvada is a new HIV prevention technology that is predominantly promoted as relevant to HIV-negative gay men. This paper explores what PrEP represents for HIV-positive gay men living in Paris, based upon data collected through interviews and ethnographic research. While HIV-positive gay men do not directly consume Truvada through PrEP, they nonetheless hold opinions and understandings of this drug, specif…
Viral Speed
An anthropology of speed is drawn to the experience of speed, as was noted in the introduction to this Openings collection, focusing on contemporary forms of acceleration and the foreclosures that result.In this article, I suggest that an anthropology of speed must attend to infrastructures of connection, and to speed as what transforms randomness into facticity.Taking a cue from the semantic clustering of acceleration, speed, and epidemics, and …

Sida, ONG et la politique du témoignage en Afrique de l'Ouest
Cet article étudie la pertinence de la notion d'une « souveraineté mouvante » pour l'analyse de l'humanitaire à travers l'étude d'une petite ONG burkinabè active dans la lutte contre le sida. Il démontre comment cette ONG occupe un espace intermédiaire - une « interzone » - entre les discours des agences de développement et une réalité locale où les besoins matériels sont l'enjeu majeur. Le souci de la communauté internationale de privilégier les…

Anthropology, Inequality, and Disease
Anthropological approaches broaden and deepen our understanding of the finding that high levels of socioeconomic inequality correlate with worsened health outcomes across an entire society. Social scientists have debated whether such societies are unhealthy because of diminished social cohesion, psychobiological pathways, or the material environment. Anthropologists have questioned these mechanisms, emphasizing that fine-grained ethnographic stud…

Adherence as therapeutic citizenship
A dramatic increase in the use of antiretroviral drugs in Africa has increased focus on adherence to treatment, which has so far been equivalent if not superior to that in northern contexts. The reasons for this exceptional adherence are poorly understood. In this paper, we examine adherence in the historical and ethnographic context of access to treatment in Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire and Mali. Living where there is no social security and minim…
Therapeutic evangelism—Confessional technologies, antiretrovirals and biospiritual transformation in the fight against Aids in West Africa

The Republic of Therapy
The Republic of Therapy tells the story of the global response to the HIV epidemic from the perspective of community organizers, activists, and people living with HIV in West Africa. Drawing on his experiences as a physician and anthropologist in Burkina Faso and Côte d'Ivoire, Vinh-Kim Nguyen focuses on the period between 1994, when effective antiretroviral treatments for HIV were discovered, and 2000, when the global health community acknowledg…
Remedicalizing an epidemic
Bold claims of a ‘paradigm shift’ at the recent World AIDS Conference signal a striking remedicalization of our approach to the HIV epidemic and a return to the early 1980s view of the epidemic as a medical problem best addressed by purely technical, biomedical solutions whose management should be left to biomedical professionals and scientists [1]. This is reflected in the assertion by the outgoing President of the International AIDS Society tha…
Socio-demographic correlates of late treatment initiation in a cohort of patients starting antiretroviral treatment in Mali, West Africa
The objective of this study was to investigate factors correlated with late treatment initiation in a cohort of patients starting treatment in Mali, West Africa, while focusing on the role of sex/gender. This study consisted of a cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from a prospective, observational cohort of patients initiating antiretroviral treatment in Mali. Patient data were analyzed with a gender perspective to examine factors correlat…
D’une industrie… l’autre
À partir d’une contextualisation du texte de Cindy Patton, les auteur-e-s invitent à penser l’actualité des questions évoquées à l’aune d’enjeux contemporains relatifs à la production d’identités et de communautés que donnent à voir l’établissement des « cibles » de la prévention et du traitement du VIH/sida, ainsi que les effets de dépolitisation arrimée à la médicalisation de la lutte contre l’épidémie
Counselling against HIV in Africa
This paper contextualises counselling within a broader historical formation that links disclosure to healing and deploys confessional technologies to incite disclosure and awareness of the mysterious substance of the self. Foucault's argument that sexuality was the privileged arena for using confessional technologies to 'produce' the truth of the self is particularly relevant in light of the diffusion of counselling practices in Africa in the wak…
