DESCRIPTION:From the metropolitan laboratory up to the research station\, 
 all the scientific and technical gestures surrounding Antarctica are part 
 of _maintenance work_. Antarctica as a place appears as an accumulation o
 f all those small gestures (scientific and technical\, but mainly ordinary
 ) and narratives (blogs\, research papers\, technical documentation…). T
 hey are contributing to _make_ Antarctica _last_ (Denis and Pontille\, 202
 2:11) as a place dedicated to the production of (in)valuable scientific da
 ta. This talk will be the opportunity to present an ongoing reflexion abou
 t the anthropological value(s) of Antarctica data.\n\nThrough the expositi
 on of different field situations\, this presentation will explore the rela
 tion between the scientific community and Antarctica\, in the short time f
 rame when the sample becomes a data. During this moment (event?)\, it will
  question the value(s) that scientific data holds as a _proxy_ for Antarct
 ica.
