‪The health crisis that began in 2020 contributed to the emergence and crystallization of new representations, hybridized forms of thinking, existing, acting and believing, putting their mark on individual and collective mobilizations, both social and political. The interweaving of visions of the world, “beliefs” and mobilizations is to be read diachronically, without forgetting how, in previous eras, movements of similar inspiration were able to react to the dramatic premises of the industrial society that was taking shape. The authors of this issue of the ‪ ‪Journal des anthropologues‪‪ allow us to look at the Covid-19 health crisis from a broader perspective of past and present epidemics, in relation to identity or ecological issues, based on globalized logics or socio-cultural realities redefined or re-engineered by major health crises.‪
