Industrializing the Pig Chain: Economic Engineering and Scalability Work (France, 1960s-1970s)
The industrialization of livestock farming has been accompanied by the adoption of a wide range of technologies that have contributed to the production of animals on an ever-larger scale. Research has largely focused on “material” technologies, such as livestock buildings and equipment, feed, drugs and genetics. However, the sciences and technologies targeting working practices, human relations and organizations have also been strongly mobilized …
Large-scale agriculture: Industrialisation and scalability work
In the 20th and 21st centuries, agriculture underwent a process of industrialisation that profoundly transformed farms, leading to the development of huge agro-industrial complexes. This article analyses this dynamic as a change of scale, and to this end develops the concept of “scalability work”. This concept highlights both the fact that a transition towards an industrial scale means resolving countless biological, social, technical, economic a…
How biosecurity reframes animal surveillance
Several works have already looked at how the new biosecurity imperative has transformed public health policies. Although the new methods of preparing for health crises have been studied in relation to public health, in the field of animal disease management there has so far been little research to test the concept of biosecurity. To this end, this issue offers a three-dimensional approach. The first is a thematic orientation which concerns the ce…
Disability policies and perinatal medicine: The difficult conciliation of two fields of intervention on disability
Even if this is not its primary mission, with the rapid progress in techniques in the fields of prenatal diagnosis and neonatal resuscitation over the last 3 decades, perinatal medicine now plays an active role in the social treatment of disability. This activity was developed independently of new conceptions of disability which, through the impetus provided by disabled persons movements and disability studies, were at the same time the object of…
The evolution of nuclear power plant design
Tercentenary Lecture delivered by Sir Christopher Hinton, F. R.S ., at 10.1 5 a.m. on Wednesday 20 July 1960 at Beveridge Hall, University of London Applied research on nuclear power is expensive. It can no longer be reasonably charged to a Defence Budget but must be justified by immediate or prospective savings as compared with alternative industrial techniques which are available or likely to be available. There have been important changes sinc…
