On September 24 at 2:30 pm, the Centre Marc Bloch is glad to host Frédéric Keck for a discussion of his book Solidarity Between Species – Living with Animals Exposed to Pandemic Viruses. Event in collaboration with the ERC-Project „Socialist Medicine" @socmederc.bsky.social @fredkeck.bsky.social

Our wonderful new book forum just out on Emma Kowal’s Haunting Biology in Medicine Anthropology Theory - with smart and generous contributions by Frederic Keck @fredkeck.bsky.social, Ros Williams @ros-w.bsky.social, Beth Greenhough and Trevor Engel

Curtis Yarvin est considéré comme l’idéologue de la contre-révolution trumpiste. Le Grand Continent a publié un long entretien avec lui en avril où il est question du Covid-19. Est-ce vraiment là une façon de déconstruire la théorie complotiste ? Par Frédéric Keck. aoc.media/opinion/2025...

"Does One Health need an ontological turn?" by Kaiser-Grolimund et al. explores some questions that have long preoccupied medical anthropologists and their applications for One Health specialists www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

« Il ne suffit pas de dire : « Sentinelles de tous les pays, unissez-vous ! » ; il faut doter une telle union d’une armature idéologique. » Par Frédéric Keck. aoc.media/opinion/2025...

Very sad to hear of the passing of the great anthropologist and Inner Asian expert Roberte Hamayon. Published in 1990 her c.900-pages-long La chasse à l'âme remains the most profound, thought-provoking exporation of Siberian shamanism. Some great talks available at www.canal-u.tv/intervenants...

Thanks to Christos Lynteris for his blurb on the cover of my new book

Brilliant to see Solidarity Between Species by @fredkeck.bsky.social out this week - "a majestic and urgently needed synthesis of biopolitical and ontological approaches to zoonoses from a multispecies perspective”

Looking forward to talking on "zoonosis beyond the spillover paradigm" at this great conference on "animal and interspecies critique" @collegedefrance.bsky.social next week: Critique animale et interspécificité. Émanciper les animaux www.irss.uliege.be/cms/c_126763...

Very much looking forward to this conference on Symbiotic Viruses organised by @fredkeck.bsky.social and @benjhegarty.bsky.social on March 4 & 5

Sommes-nous prêts à affronter l’Amérique de Trump ? La Californie, frappée par les incendies et la grippe aviaire, peut-elle jouer le rôle de sentinelle anticipant ces crises ? Par Frédéric Keck aoc.media/opinion/2025...

Potentially an interesting workshop on 'symbiotic viruses' at the Collège de France, March 4-5 - an excellent line up. I'm keen to learn how they revive an old trope... #STS #histstm #medanthro #medhum @benjhegarty.bsky.social @fredkeck.bsky.social

Looking forward to this 2-day event on "symbiotic viruses" (4-5 March) convened by Benjamin Hegarty & @fredkeck.bsky.social www.paris-iea.fr/fr/evenement...

www.radiofrance.fr great interview on zoonoses on France inter

The exhibition on madness at the musée du Louvre displays images of fools originating from chicken eggs. Interesting to think on how avian influenza makes humans crazy.

Very happy to hear my dear colleague Christos Lynteris tomorrow at the Pasteur institute

The trouble with this reporting on panzootics is the lack of historical perspective (nothing new about panzootics per se, think of plague or rinderpest) & the pervasive anthropocentrism: they seem to matter only if there is a zoonotic risk.Time to think otherwise www.theguardian.com/environment/...
