Conservation in motion: knowledge, practices and policies. A review of an interdisciplinary symposium

Cet article vise à restituer les échanges qui ont eu lieu lors du colloque « Conservation en mouvement » les 14 et 15 juin 2022 à l’École normale supérieure de Paris et au nouveau Campus Condorcet. Conserver la nature est un travail complexe en termes de savoirs, de techniques, de décisions éthiques, de logiques affectives. Ce colloque souhaitait engager des réflexions épistémologiques sur la conservation à différentes échelles spatiales et temporelles. Les communications avaient pour objets des réserves naturelles, des coalitions d’acteurs, des pratiques muséales, les liens entre conservation et capitalisme. Elles étaient présentées par des anthropologues, sociologues, écologues, des étudiants en littérature, en biologie et en géographie. La discussion de cet article portera sur les enjeux de sensibilité des données, sur la violence de la conservation, sur ses frontières et limites ainsi que sur ses instabilités.
Abstract
This article aims to report on the exchanges that took place during the symposium “Conservation in Motion” on June 14 and 15, 2022 at the École normale supérieure de Paris and Campus Condorcet. Conserving nature is a complex task in terms of knowledge, techniques, ethical decisions, and emotional logic. This colloquium wished to engage epistemological reflections on conservation at different spatial and temporal scales and to focus on fields that are not usually linked to the conservation of nature. The presentations dealt with natural reserves, coalitions of actors, museum practices and the links between conservation and capitalism. They were given by anthropologists, sociologists, ecologists, and students in literature, biology and geography. After placing conservation in the context of these major contemporary issues, the discussion in this paper focuses on the resonances between the different presentations around issues of data sensitivity − who takes the data and for what purposes, who provides the data and how, what tensions run through these data flows −; violence towards humans − expropriation, legitimacy of practices −, and non-humans − violent care −; limits and boundaries − who is entitled to practice, to express themselves −; and fictions of stability in conservation processes.
