(Appel à contributions) Dedans/Dehors : photographier la vie en institution (1840-1980) histoiresante.blogspot.com/2026/01/phot... #histSTM
New article for @tibg.bsky.social. Through the case of digital snake rescue, I merge @digicologies.bsky.social and disease ecology work to develop the lens of 'digital disease ecologies' - a way to analyse how digital encounter and datafication configure disease emergence and multispecies health.
Au XIXe siècle, sans lumière, pas d’image. Photographier de nuit ou sous terre est presque impossible. Puis, en 1862, Félix Nadar descend dans les catacombes de Paris, installe des éclairages et parvient à photographier là où l’œil distingue à peine les formes.
