This chapter provides an interview with two anthropologists: Frédéric Keck, Director of the Laboratory of Social Anthropology (CNRS-Collège de France-EHESS), and Andrew Lakoff, Professor of Sociology and Communication (University of Southern California). They have long wondered about the relationship between public action, emergency, and the construction of biosecurity devices, focusing on the construction of preparedness. It seems to us a perspective of great interest to understand the limits and possibilities of taking a preparedness approach in terms of urban planning and policy.

Abstract

This chapter provides an interview with two anthropologists: Frédéric Keck, Director of the Laboratory of Social Anthropology (CNRS-Collège de France-EHESS), and Andrew Lakoff, Professor of Sociology and Communication (University of Southern California). They have long wondered about the relationship between public action, emergency, and the construction of biosecurity devices, focusing on the construction of preparedness. It seems to us a perspective of great interest to understand the limits and possibilities of taking a preparedness approach in terms of urban planning and policy.
