Description
Summary:This article examines interdisciplinary environmental research (RIFE) in France, from its emergence in the 1960s to the present day. It mobilises the literature on the emergence of scientific fields and is based on interviews and documentary analysis. It shows that the RIFE has all the features of the scientific and intellectual movements (SIMs). However, it is characterized by its great heterogeneity and is still situated between dissent and normalization. Its incomplete institutionalisation is due to its epistemological foundation, marked by the rejection of reductionism and techno-centrism. RIFE is partly out of step with the knowledge production regime that has prevailed since the 1990s, and attempts to standardise its methods and data are generating tensions and new forms of dissent. The article simultaneously improves our knowledge of the dynamics of RIFE in France and contributes to the theory of SIMs.
