“…When social acceptability is treated as a dynamic process, it is no longer an “embarrassing notion” ( 26 , 28 ) that would imply getting local actors to accept measures they do not want. The territorialized preparedness process is the result of a collective bottom-up dynamic that legitimizes not only the biosecurity co-construction process but also the actors who carried it out.…”

“…The acceptability of territorial preparedness is a democratic process. On the one hand, Corsican farmers and other stakeholders have become actors in their own future ( 26 ); on the other hand, the state has agreed to negotiate with a marginal region that views norms in light of its own issues. In so doing, it recognizes as legitimate the extensive farming systems.…”

“…The notion of acceptability ( 8 , 25 ) allows to understand the potential gap between management measures based on official expert risk assessments and the implementation of those measures and the social conflicts that arise ( 15 ). The notion of acceptability points to a dynamic process ( 26 ) through which a compromise can emerge and stabilize. It is achieved through important phases of contestation, deliberation, and negotiation to reach a compromise between administrators and citizens of the territories concerned ( 27 , 28 ).…”

From National Biosecurity Measures to Territorial ASF Preparedness: The Case of Free-Range Pig Farming in Corsica, France

et al. 2021

In response to African swine fever (ASF) outbreaks in wild boars in Belgium in 2018, the French authorities issued national biosecurity measures for all pig farms, regardless of their geographical and socio-technical scale. Considering the Corsican pig farmers' demonstrations against these measures (for geographical, cultural, and economic reasons), this article questions the suitability of standardized top-down national measures that potentially endanger traditional breeding systems, which are increasingly marginalized in relation to the dominant industrial model. From an action-research approach, the article analyzes how local stakeholders go beyond usual classical biosecurity issues to propose a territorialized preparedness. Mediating between Corsican farmers and the government representatives, a technical committee made up of actors from various regional research and development bodies drew up a socially acceptable preparedness proposal. Viewing the health risk from a local standpoint, the committee provided arguments for maintaining the extensive grazing that is non-negotiable for the farmers, while getting the farmers to agree to change other practices (reproduction control) as a measure against health hazards already present. Analysis of the preparedness process and the mediation process shows that a territorialized bottom-up approach to the governance of health risks can make biosecurity measures more acceptable to farmers. It also points to the legitimacy of a set of alternatives to top-down measures that standardize farming systems and may lead to the disappearance of small farmers and their traditional systems.

“…En effet, d'abord perçu comme un lieu d'expression de besoins et d'intérêts (Bherer et al, 2018), les différents types de processus participatifs en aménagement et en développement territorial se réclament de plus en plus de la co-construction du sens et des modalités d'un projet public ou privé (complexes résidentiels, usines, autoroutes, aéroports, etc. ), sous l'angle de l'acceptabilité sociale (Fournis et Fortin, 2015). Au niveau national, la consultation des populations est plus ardue, mais « une conversation » peut avoir lieu par l'entremise des groupes organisés et produire un discours coconstruit, comme cela est visiblement arrivé lors de la conception de la PNAAT au Québec.…”

RésuméLa publication de la Politique nationale de l'architecture et de l'aménagement du territoire du Québec (PNAAT) interpelle la géographie à plusieurs égards. Cette politique, qui résulte d'un processus d'élaboration de dix‐huit mois, est mise en récit autour du paradigme de l'aménagement durable, comme le veut la tendance générale aujourd'hui en aménagement et urbanisme. Or, au Québec, plusieurs politiques territoriales adoptées depuis 2000 sont aussi marquées par une telle trame narrative. Conséquemment, il convient de s'interroger sur la nature de la narrativité de la PNAAT : s'agit‐il de la consolidation du référentiel existant ou d'un recadrage ? Par ailleurs, quel potentiel la PNAAT acquiert‐elle ainsi en termes de mobilisation des acteurs ? Ces questions nous mèneront à comparer diverses politiques publiques québécoises, sur les plans de la terminologie, de même que des orientations et objectifs. Nos résultats illustrent le fait que le discours de la PNAAT est en conformité avec les politiques territoriales précédemment proposées. De plus, l'appel à la durabilité et à la lutte au changement climatique présente un pouvoir mobilisateur à travers une mise en récit bien ficelée.

“…Given that social movements, formal political actors, corporations, interest groups, and citizens can use social media as a communication tool and means to voice political concerns, digital platforms become an additional forum where projects raising social‐acceptability issues can be debated. The notion of social acceptability has become unavoidable over the last decade when developing projects (Batel, Devine‐Wright, and Tangeland 2013; Cowell, Bristow, and Munday 2011; Fournis and Fortin 2015; Gouvernment of Quebec 2015; Granier 2015; Jobert, Laborgne, and Mimler 2007; Wolsink 2012); it can be conceived of as a collective judgment toward a project that is first and foremost based on citizens’ values regarding its economic, environmental, or social aspects (Yates 2018). In Canada, projects such as wind farms, shale gas, gas terminals, and pipelines have been subjects of sharp contention based on this notion of social acceptability (Batellier and Maillé 2017; Côté 2016; Gendron, Yates, and Motulsky 2016; Pineault 2016).…”

This article explores debates on medical assistance in dying (MAID) in Canada as they unfolded on Twitter before its adoption in June 2016. The opposition, which came from diverse groups-religious, experts, politicians-led to polarizing debates about the social acceptability of this measure. Our finding shows that the so-called lay citizens refused to leave the discussion to experts and politicians and got involved in the debates around the issue. Our results also show that Twitter was mainly used to share information, hence complementing the role of traditional media. Overall, the platform gave rise to an "ambient political participation," allowing minority or marginalized groups as well as lay citizens to share their knowledge and opinion about MAID. This may have favored a certain form of empowerment. The authors would like to thank Carol-Ann Rouillard and Sofia Tourigny-Koné for assisting on this project as well as Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) and the Groupe de recherche en communication politique (GRCP) for providing financial support for this project.
