Résumé

La pandémie de COVID-19 a provoqué une crise en série dans le secteur des transports et a entraîné une reconfiguration complète des chaînes d’approvisionnement mondiales. En étudiant les chaînes d’approvisionnement, la recherche anthropologique a eu tendance à se concentrer sur le suivi de marchandises spécifiques lors de leur acheminement du producteur au consommateur. Les sites centraux de circulation qui permettent ce même transfert de marchandises restent toutefois sous-étudiés. Les ports de containers, en particulier, sont des lieux centraux où le réseau des chaînes mondiales d’approvisionnement se rassemble. Une analyse ethnographique comparative des ports de containers est proposée afin d’ancrer les chaînes d’approvisionnement et la logistique dans des histoires socio-culturelles particulières, des infrastructures matérielles, des écologies politiques et des politiques du travail. Nous nous rendons de Singapour à Hambourg, en passant par Algeciras, Rotterdam et Pireaus, pour proposer des voies d’analyse potentielles du réseau complexe d’interconnexions que nous connaissons comme la chaîne d’approvisionnement mondiale, avec une attention particulière sur le monde du travail et les zones critiques, en relation avec des perturbations multi-situées à grande échelle.
