“…), visa igualmente legitimar a empresa aos olhos dos seus próprios funcionários, fornecendolhes um relato convincente da visão estratégica dos seus dirigentes (Rajak, 2020). Os relés de comunicação interna da empresa (boletins informativos, spots vídeo, brochuras, cursos de formação) tornam possível transformar esse posicionamento técnico desenvolvido por alguns num "recurso cognitivo" (Aoki, 2009) efetivamente disponível para todos os empregados; esse fornecimento de um discurso especializado contribui para a normalização de um problema anteriormente considerado apocalíptico (Arnhold, 2019).…”

Neste artigo analisamos o trabalho dos operadores da indústria petrolífera em plataformas offshore. Mostramos que o negócio da extração requer uma multiplicidade de competências técnicas. O fato destas competências serem implantadas dentro de uma divisão de trabalho altamente desenvolvida leva os operadores a concentrarem a sua atenção no caráter imediato das suas atividades de trabalho em detrimento de uma problematização das suas implicações materiais distantes e das suas finalidades. Em vez de trabalhar para reduzir esses pontos cegos, a indústria petrolífera tende, em vez disso, a tirar partido deles e a desenvolver um discurso que desencoraje os operadores de questionarem o âmbito do seu trabalho e de tomarem nota das suas consequências nocivas para o clima. Este artigo sugere que uma ecologização do trabalho só pode ser conseguida através de uma análise contextualizada das atividades laborais, na qual os trabalhadores devem participar e que muitas vezes tende a ser impedida pelas próprias empresas.

“…Chernobyl also gave rise to a crisis of the governance of nuclear energy in this context, portrayed as "opaque" and "undemocratic" and challenged based on the motive of a "State lie" in France of hiding and minimizing the effects of Chernobyl (Kalmbach 2014;Liberatore 1999;Topçu 2013). In contrast, the public debate in France following the Fukushima accident did not lead to a comparable political controversy nor governmental crisis (Brouard and Guinaudeau 2017;Arnhold 2019Arnhold , 2021. Public authorities remain dominant and legitimate information sources for the accident, and their narratives on Fukushima have not been challenged.…”

From Secrecy to Public Containment: The Role of Hybrid Spaces in the Governance of Nuclear Crises in France

How do some large-scale adverse events receive major media coverage and become crises for public actors while others are treated as routine events? This article reinvestigates this question based on a case study of the media treatment in France of the Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear accidents. Drawing on an original set of media data and an ethnographic study, the article shows how both accidents were subject to forms of opacity that limit their effects on nuclear institutions: Chernobyl has been treated through secrecy that leads to contestation of nuclear institutions, whereas Fukushima has been characterized by “public containment,” relying on extensive publication but low-priority and uncontroversial narratives that do not reflect the stakes of a given policy field. This paper explains the role of Fukushima in France through institutional transformations that public actors engaged in following Chernobyl to reestablish the credibility of public information sources and to monitor public debates over nuclear accidents by developing “hybrid” spaces, located at the interface of organizational frontstages and backstages. This case shows how responding to transparency demands may sometimes create new forms of opacity by reducing the epistemic quality of public debates while containing political crises.

“…Rappelons d'abord que ce n'est pas la première fois que la culture est utilisée comme explication d'une catastrophe. Déjà lors de l'accident de Tchernobyl en 1986, c'est sur ce facteur que s'accordent les récits officiels de la crise, en mettant en cause le manque de culture du risque des opérateurs soviétiques (Santana 2017 ;Arnhold 2019). Explication qui a pour mérite : de ne pas remettre en cause la technologie nucléaire ; d'établir un lien entre l'idéologie communiste et l'avènement de l'accident ; et de proposer une solution simple pour améliorer le niveau de sécurité des centrales nucléaires.…”

A travers l'analyse des trois rapports produits après l'accident de LNL, l'article revient sur leur rôle dans la production d'un récit dominant des causes de la crise qui insiste sur l'absence de culture du risque ; mais aussi leurs limites, s'agissant notamment de l'absence d'interrogation sur les raisons pour lesquelles les leçons des crises passées ne sont jamais tirées.Toute crise, aujourd'hui, fait l'objet de rapports. Sans être une obligation réglementaire, leur élaboration est devenue une obligation morale et politique à laquelle se plient tant les organisations directement concernées par la crise, que les institutions qui en assurent la supervision. Emanant de commissions parlementaires, d'inspections générales ou des organisations elles-mêmes, ces documents entendent établir les causes de la crise ou en évaluer la gestion. Leur ambition est d'éviter qu'elle ne se reproduise ou, à défaut, qu'elle soit mieux prise en charge ; et, à cet effet, ils formulent des recommandations aux pouvoirs publics.Le contenu de ces rapports a donné lieu à peu de travaux en sciences sociales.
