Court résumé
Long before the first cases of COVID-19, social scientists had begun to examine critically the imaginary of an anticipated pandemic and its impacts. Anthropology is adept at shedding light on how ‘expert’ scientific knowledge often does not fully consider practical concerns or the social and political relationships that fuel perceived threats. In the context of pandemic preparedness, anthropologists have highlighted the ‘geography of blame’ surrounding places like China or sub-Saharan Africa as epidemic epicentres, and the importance of community-led ‘practical learning’ in preventing and responding to outbreaks.These three books all address a similar question: what does ‘preparedness’ and infectious disease control look like in places in Asia that have been identified as ‘hot spots’ of epidemic threats related to domestic avian production? Through fieldwork in China (Fearnley and Keck) and nearby countries of Vietnam (Porter), Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan (Keck), the authors examine: (1) why viruses emerge where they do; (2) how global health observes, predicts, and makes meaning from epidemic risk; and (3) how ‘experts’ and ‘non-experts’ balance the priorities of pandemic prevention with practical constraints.
