Aquaverde à bord de Flybaboo

admin — Tue, 01 Apr 2008 19:06:19 +0000

Dans le souci de protéger l’environnement et la forêt, dès le 1er avril 2008, Flybaboo soutient l’action d’Aquaverde en Amazonie.

Ainsi, jusqu’à la fin de l’année, pour chaque vol un arbre sera planté. Tous ces arbres - entre 7’000 et 8′000 seront escomptés d’ici fin décembre 2008 - formeront ensemble la « Baboo Forest » mentionnée en tant que telle par une pancarte, quelque part en Amazonie.

Lost Paradises and the Ethics of Research and Publication

David — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 14:00:21 +0000

In 2000, the world of anthropology was rocked by a high-profile debate over the fieldwork performed by two prominent anthropologists, Napoleon Chagnon and James V. Neel, among the Yanamamo tribe of South America. The controversy was fueled by the publication of Patrick Tierney’s incendiary Darkness in El Dorado which accused Chagnon of not only misinterpreting but actually inciting some of the violence he perceived among these “fierce people”. Tierney also pointed the finger at Neel as the unwitting agent of a deadly measles outbreak. Attracting a firestorm of attention, Tierney’s book went straight to the heart of anthropology’s most pressing questions: What are the right ways to study a tribal people? How can scientists avoid unduly influencing those among whom they live? What guidelines should govern the interactions - economic, social, medical, and sexual - between a scientist in the field and the people being studied? This volume represents anthropology’s thoughtful, measured reply to the issues raised by this heated controversy. Placing the dispute within the context of ongoing debates over the ethics of biomedical research among human populations, the contributors to this volume discuss how the interaction between investigators and their subjects can most sensibly be governed. They consider the responsibility of the media in disseminating anti-scientific and pseudo-scientific views, and how scientists might best educate journalists to enable them to effectively educate others. In the wake of what was widely construed as a major scientific scandal, this landmark volume lays out in detail the principles and ground rules of anthropological and scientific fieldwork.
