Abstract

The collective risk situations put the settings of expertise to the test. In this paper, we study the activity of the french interministerial committee called for answering the problems caused by the bovine spongiform encephalopathy. The analyse of the activity of expertise is focused on the rules and the procedures mobilized by the experts to produce their advices, without separating their production from the framewok of justification of the governmental action. We show how this committee formed a collective producer of documents in order to leave traces of the way he carries out his mission, and particularly his relationships with his administrative supervision through a game of written questions and answers. Les situations de risque collectif mettent à l'épreuve les dispositifs d'expertise. Dans cet article, nous étudions l'activité du comité interministériel français convoqué pour répondre aux problèmes posés par l'encéphalopathie spongiforme bovine. L'acte d'expertise est analysé à partir des règles et des procédures mobilisées par les experts pour produire leurs avis, sans séparer la production de ceux-ci du cadre de justification dans lequel s'inscrit l'action publique. Nous montrons comment le comité s'est constitué en collectif producteur d'écrits d'action afin de laisser des traces de l'exercice de sa mission.
