La One Health come ‘campo’: attori, pratiche, conoscenze, relazioni

In the perspective of integrated health approaches, illness and care are the product of relationships that involve not only human beings but all living entities and ecosystems, within interdependencies that bind species to a shared fate. This note examines one of the main integrated approaches, ‘One Health,’ outlining its prem-ises, aims and fundamental objectives, while also considering the role that the social sciences can play within it. The underlying hypothesis is that One Health can be un-derstood as a ‘field,’ in the Bourdieusian sense, populated by actors (human as well as non-human), resources, rules, and power relations in constant transformation. In this framework, the very connections that generate systemic risk can also help con-tain it or, at the very least, reframe it in a transformative direction.
