The research seminar « Maintaining / supporting: fragility as a mode of existence » will welcome

 

Sophie Houdart

 

De bout en bout. Ce qui change à considérer Fukushima

comme un milieu fragile plutôt que comme un territoire contaminé

[End to end. What changes when considering Fukushima as a fragile environment rather than a contaminated territory]

 

Sophie Houdart is a senior researcher at the CNRS and a member of the Laboratory of Ethnology and Comparative Sociology (LESC, UMR 7186, CNRS/Université Paris Nanterre). Her main research interests are both the local methods and practices of construction of modernity in Japan and the theme of creation and innovation. Her current research focuses on air and soil measurements by which populations, sometimes far from Fukushima, assess, on their own account, the radioactivity content of their environment. Those who wish can read an article resulting from this research « Les répertoires subtils d’un terrain contaminé », published in the issue of Techniques & Culture entitled Mondes infimes that Sophie Houdart edited in 2017 with Tiziana Nicoletta Beltrame and Christine Jungen.
