This contribution presents the dynamics generated by the COVID-19 pandemic since March 2020 in the humanities and social sciences (SHS) in France. It first describes the main elements of the individual and institutional involvement that give this dynamic the characteristics of an "extra-ordinary" mobilization. Based on a collective research report, it goes on presenting the research themes and issues, as well as the methodological and epistemological reflections put forward by the SHS on the subject of the pandemic and its management. This contribution thus gives an account of the way in which the SHS participate in a social and political understanding of health issues. By carrying out research themes and issues that are sometimes new and sometimes deeply rooted in the scientific capital that is theirs concerning health and environmental crises, the SHS bring their contribution to the description and the analysis of the foundations and consequences of these crises on individuals and societies: knowledge likely to enlighten public decision-making.
本论文介绍了自2020年3月以来，新冠疫情在法国人文社会科学领域引发的动态变化。论文首先描述了个人和机构参与的主要因素，正是这些因素使得这一动态变化具有 “非凡” 动员的特征。基于一份集体研究报告，论文进而阐述了研究主题和问题，以及人文社会科学领域针对疫情及其应对措施提出的方法论和认识论思考。因此，本论文说明了人文社会科学领域参与对健康问题进行社会和政治理解的方式。通过开展一些有时新颖、有时深深植根于其自身关于健康和环境危机的科学资本的研究主题和问题，人文社会科学领域为描述和分析这些危机对个人和社会的根源及后果做出了贡献：这些知识可能会为公共决策提供启示。
