Introduction
Keyword(s):
The introduction outlines the contributions of the book to French history, the history of bacteriology, and the history of global health. It develops the use of “technopolitics,” particularly the use of the technopolitical strategy known as “pastorization,” and “politics of scale” for the argument advanced later in the book. It establishes the geographical and chronological boundaries of the inquiry (1890–1940) and surveys the history of laboratory medicine in France, particularly the role of Louis Pasteur. Finally, after noting that each chapter follows a particular scientific and political project, from its initial articulation through development, contestation, and praxis, it describes the focus of the individual chapters.
