Le stade Dubaï de la santé publique. La santé globale en Afrique entre passé et futur

Guillaume Lachenal

Revue Tiers-Monde, 2013, vol. n°215, issue 3, 53-71

Abstract: In this article, I examine the relationship of global health to time : the presence of past and future, in the forms of traces, memories, projections, anticipations and speculations. Through three ethnographic vignettes, I show that the specificity of the current global health era in Africa is its past ? more than a century of interventions for health ; and that this past is present, incorporated in bodies and environments. I examine how the promises, successes and failures of international health are used in the present of global health, through anticipations or nostalgia ; and how global health produces, at the same time, its own ruins and expiry.
