摘要：Putting words to the relationships between humans and farm animals.
The question of animal welfare is most often debated in a very controversial way : animal welfare organisations seek to show what is unduly hidden, adopting a posture of revealing, while animal production actors seek to prove that there is nothing to hide, in reference to the principle of transparency. The aim of this paper is to investigate whether it is possible to open a space for a collective discussion of these questions through reference to processes of visibilisation, in which stock breeders would have something to show, instead of nothing to hide. We will see that the conditions for this reframed debate rely on maintaining an access to the relational dimension of breeding, ignored in the regulations concerning animal welfare. We will consider the media that might allow this, such as a booklet of breeders’ narratives that would circulate amongst groups of breeders, researchers, animal welfare organisations and consumers.
