\u00ab Do you also think of any optimistic scenario ? \u00bb <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked this very question in a meeting about\u00a0Angola\u2019s situation during the pandemic, Chloe Buire<\/strong>, a French geographer, offers some thoughts in her scientific blog,\u00a0Luanda Micro Lab<\/em>.\u00a0As a specialist of Angolan urban society, and of Angolan citizens’ mobilisation\u00a0and empowerment, she reflects on the tools available to social scientists to analyse the current crisis, and maybe to contribute to some responses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She shares her sense of impotency to foresee what is coming next as a social scientist, and her personal doubts regarding the legitimacy of\u00a0a foreign researcher\u2019s\u00a0voice. But she also pleads\u00a0for ‘reasoned optimism’ and supports the idea that, against all preconceptions, several African countries are socially and culturally better equipped than Western countries to deal with covid-19:\u00a0\u00a0https:\/\/microlab.hypotheses.org\/546<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chlo\u00e9 Buire recently gave a testimony about her professional situation in our section devoted to researchers during the lockdown : http:\/\/www.ifas.org.za\/research\/2020\/social-scientists-during-lockdown-3\/ <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00ab Et vous pensez aussi \u00e0 un sc\u00e9nario optimiste ? \u00bb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Confront\u00e9e \u00e0 cette question pos\u00e9e lors d’une r\u00e9union sur la situation de l’Angola pendant la pand\u00e9mie, la g\u00e9ographe Chlo\u00e9 Buire <\/strong>livre quelques r\u00e9flexions sur son blog scientifique,\u00a0Luanda Micro Lab<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sp\u00e9cialiste de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 urbaine et des formes de mobilisation citoyenne en Angola, elle r\u00e9fl\u00e9chit aux outils dont disposent les sciences sociales pour analyser la crise actuelle et pour, peut-\u00eatre, contribuer \u00e0 y apporter certaines r\u00e9ponses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elle partage son sentiment d\u2019impuissance \u00e0 pr\u00e9voir la suite des \u00e9v\u00e9nements, ainsi que ses doutes personnels sur la l\u00e9gitimit\u00e9 de la parole d’un chercheur \u00e9tranger. Mais elle plaide aussi pour un optimisme raisonn\u00e9 et soutient l’id\u00e9e qu\u2019\u00e0 rebours des pr\u00e9jug\u00e9s, plusieurs pays africains sont socialement et culturellement mieux \u00e9quip\u00e9s que les pays occidentaux pour faire face \u00e0 la crise :\u00a0https:\/\/microlab.hypotheses.org\/546 <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
