Ouvrier, Mary-Ashley. "Anthropologie de la recherche médicale en milieu rural sénégalais." Thesis, Aix-Marseille 3, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011AIX32091.
Full textThis thesis documents the social dynamics that occur in a rural context in Senegal — the area of Toudinga— where essentially demographic and medical research have been held since 1964 by the IRD (Institut de recherche pour le développement) formerly Orstom (Office de la recherche scientifique dans les territoires d’outre-Mer). At the crossroads of medical anthropology and African ethnology and sociology of science and organizations, the theoretical position adopted in this thesis allows for the examination of numerous social aspects related to medical research in sub-Saharan Africa. This PhD deals with the social organisation of the area of Toudinga. It describes the representations of medical research and the interactions between the research professionnals and the inhabitants of the region and highlights the influence of historic, identity and instititional factors on the local construction of ethics. Futhermore, this work examines wider thematics related the anthropology of medical research such as the influence of the social context on the consentent collection (gender, age group, gift and conter-gift), the impact of medical research on local medical care and the analysis of blood stealing rumors

Full textThis thesis seeks to analyse how the medical imaging machines are involved in the interactions between patients and caregivers (xray technician and rediologists) and the influence of these machines and pictures on the perception of the body and disease. This study is the result of an investigation carried out in a cancer centre (observation within the various imaging departments and semi-structured interviews conducted with patients and caregivers); analysis brings on this desease and is divided into two parts. The first intends to explore imaging machines as a mediating interactions between caregivers and patients and is based on the symbolic interactionism. The second part focuses on analyzing more specifically the views of patients and considers the contribution of the visualization of their pictures, the degree of interest according to the stage of therapeutic journey to which they are, how they perceive their body on a picture. It also examined the factors and social variables that can understand and explain practices and representations for different patients. Though this research is to uncover two distinct modes of though (scientific an profane), each using a repository own (culture medical and personal history, the trajectory of the individual)

Full textThe professionalization of paediatrics goes back up to the colonial period. The conceptions of the ill child have evolved since those of colonial doctors, missionaires and nurses of cradle have until those of Gaboneses postcolonial politics. In 1980, the missions of paediatrics were redefined by the Gaboneses political authorities which set up structures of education and research. At present, in spite of improvment of the condition of hospitalization of children and the modernization of the structure of care, Gabonese paediatricians exercise their profession in a deficit of materials. Further more, the introductions of the health record of child in paediatrical consultations, and the usage of prescriptions have entailed incomprehensions and tensions between families and paedeatricians. Those ones consult the structures of care only in case of emergency. But they do not stop demanding free hospital care as it happened during the first twenty years of the independance and during the colonization. However, the difficult conditions of employment to which paediatricians are facing, lead them to borrow different ways to improve their social situation. So, some of them get involved into politics while others turn to liberal careers. Those trajectories show that Gabonese paediatricians build their porfessional identity in a dynamic way

Full textTraditional medicine in Taiwan today accurately reflects the divergent cultural currents which have influenced the island over the years. Primitively inhabited by an Austronesian population, it was to become 98% Chinese due to a period of Han immigration that began in the XIth century AD. Chinese medicine replaced aboriginal practices, but was rejected in favor of western medicine during the Japanese occupation (1895-1945). It then became legal again after Taiwan regained its independence, but has since had to face socioeconomic developments and advanced biomedical progress. As early as 1974, we posed the following question : what could the future hold for such practices, efficacious as they were, but empirical in the eyes of science ? We began by examining traditional medicine as a cultural language drawing on the sources of Chinese thought, focussing on pharmacopoeia as the link between practitioner and patient. Research was carried out on 1275 drugs comprising 820 plants, 365 animals, 90 minerals and 374 medicinal preparations. We the proceeded to observe how and in which social strata these drugs were used. This led to two conclusions : 1/ an unrelenting decline of peddler medicine in three test cities : Taipei, the modern capital to the north, Tainan, the historical capital to the southwest and Hualien on the eastern coast. Flourishing in 1974, this peddler medicine suddenly became illegal under a law passed in 1975 ; 2/ the persistence of a scholarly Chinese medicine appearing to be more of an auxiliary to biomedicine rather than a full-fledged partner. In effect, there has been a clear decrease in the proportion of Chinese medicine practitioners as compared to modern medicine physicians, falling from -1/5 to +1/11 in 22 years. Further, an analysis of western culture yielded the conclusion that western scientific fundamentalism impeded a harmonious development of the two systems. Indeed, epistemology teaches us that the metaphysical revolution that completely transformed physics at the end of th XIXth century proceeded along a non-Aristotelian logic, the only means of answering hitherto insolvable problems : will tomorrow bring forth an intelligent merging of the two thoughts ?

Full textThe present research analyses the social organization of the medical profession in the case of a developing country. By adopting an anthropological guideline, thus underlining the importance of social relationship enhanced by this profession, we may analyse a specific configuration of the principles of legitimation as well as social recognition in the context of a developing country. In this country, doctors suffer from the fact that patients denie them a supreme authority in treating diseases, they face financial restrictions and limited technical support, which prevent them from giving an image of their competences likely to dominate those of competing actors interfering in health care. Yet, what influences most the organization of the profession is the comptetitionnal relationship between doctors and nurses which deprives the former from the professional influence and the social status enjoyed by their peers in industrialised countries. This element is essential in influencing doctors daily practice as they assert a certain image of their competence in their relationship with patients. Medical practices derive from this social relational system in which whomever best treats symptoms - without systematically curing the disease - is hailed as the most competent. In this respect, to get their share of power and legitimacy, doctors must be competitive in making symptoms disappear

Full textIn the context of global flows of people, local social and health services are confronted to different forms of complex and unprecedented suffering. Immigrants’ mental health needs have triggered numerous debates in the last decades, in particular concerning the articulation between anthropology and psychology. Their experience remained invisible and unexplored in research on healthcare access or in relation to the psychiatric disorders they cope with. Through different historical contexts, different approaches to construe the relationship to the Other have suggested different healthcare approaches for immigrants specifically. Today, these different analytical propositions seem unable to capture the plural dimension of contemporary immigrant suffering, and threaten to limit their understanding to preconceived categories. This leads to a need for redefining theoretical models and clinical strategies.This study describes the complexity of human suffering. It is grounded in an ethnography of everyday practice at a mental healthcare clinic. It relies on a sociographic and narrative approach which has allowed to take into consideration a maximum of biographic information on subjects, and which has enriched our clinical listening skills. This careful, open and person-centered form of listening unveiled a number of dimensions that are rarely taken into account in the description of globalization-related forms of suffering. Such dimensions reveal a constellation of affective, political, economic and social variables, which we have decided to conceptualize as “affective configurations”. We have carried out an in-depth analysis of new forms of being-in-the-world for contemporary subjects. We thus shifted the focus on the subject as an actor of multiple and changing therapeutic itineraries within immigration trajectories. This approach is located at the intersection between clinical medical anthropology and subject-centered clinic. It both gives access to the subjects’ experiences and acknowledges their existence and unique needs – while until then, they had remained invisible through a focus on their otherness, particularly in the context of mental health. Finally, we attempt to contribute to developing competent psychosocial services for globalization-related forms of suffering
Kehr, Janina. "Une maladie sans avenir : anthropologie de la tuberculose en France et en Allemagne." Paris, EHESS, 2012. http://www.theses.fr/2012EHES0502.
Full textAs a result of social and medical « advances » in the middle part of the last century, tuberculosis (TB) is no longer considered a major infectious scourge in France or Germany. Through a comparative ethnography in Île-de-France and in Berlin, this thesis is concerned with understanding the way that this “disappearing object” is treated and problematized in contemporary European biomedical settings. Observing TB in the domain of clinical medicine and public health, this work is informed by the following questions: how does a disease of the past exist in a world turned towards the future and progress? How is a social disease treated in the biomedical domain? And how does one control of a disease – which is nowadays almost always associated with “elsewhere” – at home ? The thesis shows how the medical residues of the past are assembled locally in clinical biomedicine and in public health within contemporary social and political frameworks; it describes the actualisation of old public health practices as they are deployed at the margins of the state; and it describes the social, ethical and political stakes generated by the treatment and the control of a social disease in decline through an investigation of a field – biomedicine – which is today increasingly scientific, technological and future-oriented. The thesis thus brings to the fore the ambivalent existence of tuberculosis in France and Germany today through an anthropology of its ordinary treatment practices. The central contention is that TB oscillates between being a social pathology, an affliction of the past, and a disease of the “other”. As such, it has become a “disease without future” in france and Germany

Full textIn the study of the dysfunctions of the national systems of health in sub-Saharan africa, the difficult current relations between patients (users and hospital staff(personnel)) must be understood by their integration with a historical heritage relating to colonial medicine. The problem of the perception of the public hospital in Gabon try to analyze at the same time the difficult relationships and the various stakes which cross the everyday life of the care in hospital life in Libreville. Since the middle of the years 1980, more and more gabonese' patients meet enormous diificulties to look after itself in the public hospitals. How the populations (medical staff and patients) of Libreville represent then the care in the CHL, the greatest medical formation of Gabon? In addition, why the patients continue to visit this public hospital in spite of its dysfunctions and its bad reputation near its users? A fine and descriptive ethnography of the "General Hospital" of Libreville enabled us to analyze the practices, the speeches, logics of actors and other issues which are played around the taking care of the patients. The gabonese' hospital, although being a modern place of vexercise of the biomedical practice, is presented in the form of a "social microcosm" reflecting the social inequalities, the relations of being able, the importance of the money and the acquaintances, the extent of the practices of corruption, the weight of the popualr representations on sorcery and illness, the religious beliefs and many other characteristics defining the gabonese society of today

Precise definitions, question practices and places, elaborate hypothesis is what it has been done. Who is this Pacific Islander, formerly gods' descendant who became “primitive” of European and Asian people? Decline one's Polynesian or half-caste identity in claiming spirituality reveals some History wounds. This research has been directed by Professor Serge Dunis's laboratory Imago mundi, encouraged by George Devereux centre's (University of Paris VIII) ethnopsychiatry healing system and by the Pacific regional indigenous doctor's congress. A half-caste researcher studying his own society has to resolve the radical duality required by anthropology. In Tahiti, have been interviewed, 42 healers, 20 physicians and some patients. In Hawaii and New-Zealand, 5 healers in each country and some medical doctors have been met. Translate correctly words of illnesses, healers and practices conducts to the “ontological / functional” (Laplantine) model of Polynesian thought of illness. If the beneficial healing acts are ignored, the bad one's conduct to Justice Court, revealing amnesia, blanks of transmission and lack of a cultural Polynesian reference place. If culture can't heal, lack of culture can kill. Ethnopsychiatric consultation is a place where can be heard the suffering of antagonistic spiritualities and can be initiated a way to reconcile different origins. Preventive and healing Polynesian ethno-medicine needs to be considered with lucidity and serenity. This study opens research orientations in pharmacology, healing practices and medical anthropology.

Full textThe clinic anthropology created by Jean Gagnepain is a method of approach of the human element by which language is tackled as the place where analogous determinisms are deconstructed. Added to the determinism of sign which defines language are the determinisms of tool, person and norm that make language into writing, language and discourse. In person, this work is precisely meant to contribute to the structuration of the somasic function, a natural capacity of somasic incorporation whose dialectic relation to abstract ethnic analysis makes the equivocation of human society. As for norm, it is a question of setting apart the boulic function, a natural capacity of urges whose dialectic relation to ethical analysis makes the duplicity of human will. We theoretically present the hypothetical model of gnosis and grammaticality. That model firstly transposed to the plan of person conceived as the dialectic of somasy and policy is secondly transposed to the plan of norm conceived as the dialectic of desire and ethics. The necessity of a dialectical conception of person has been epistemologically argued, beyond constructivism and empiricism, against the positivist conception of incorporation in psychology. Similarly is defended a dialectic conception of will, against psychoanalytical formalism and psychological economism. We clinically defend a method by which are mutually proved a model and a nosography where it is a question of giving structure to the very coherence and cohesion of syndromes in the revealing of normality dysfunction. We accordingly base ourselves on the clinic of deficiency about which we argue the pregnance of a proceeding of person and of a proceeding of norm against which are systematically matched fusion disorders and autolysis disorders. Analogically are expounded : a) the case of a patient of fang tradition for whom is defended the hypothesis of a disorder in liability; there we argue about the existence of an ethnic analysis without significant identification. B) the case of a timologic neuropathic young woman of fang tradition for whom is defended the hypothesis of a disorder in the regulated ; there argue about the existence of an ethical analysis without ethics. C) the case of a chrematologic psychopath for whom is defended the hypothesis of a disorder in the regulating ; there we argue about the existence of an ethical analysis without

Full textThis thesis aims to highlight the determinants of medical innovation and its impact on economic growth. It is based on building a database of spending and consumption of health goods and services between 1980 and 2010, and also on three theoretical models. Established results for cohorts born between 1923 and 2010 show that medical innovations are mainly determined by demographic changes. Moreover, even if these medical innovations have historically allowed the emergence of significant economies of scale, they do not currently play a leading role in macro-economic growth. Indeed, in the current conditions of stability of the survival curves, the mechanics of medical innovation does not appear as a driving force for macroeconomic growth short term. The multiplier effects of medical innovation on economic growth would be, on the short-term, negative or zero

Full textCholera is an ancient enteric disease originating from the Gange delta, and produces a first pandemic in 1817.The victory on cholera is a story of rich countries (Bourdelais 2003), in the global south, and in Africa in particular (Mengel et al.2014), the bacteria continues to prosper in the 21th century. Influenced by the imaginaries inherited from the 19th century, the contemporary manifestations of cholera are easily interpreted as a sign of a lack of modernity, which complexifies the production of knowledge on cholera and, in the context of scarce resources, favor the design and implementation of technological innovations at the center of the cholera control strategies. Our interest lies in the deployment of surveillance and control technologies (including vaccination) in the African Continent. We discuss the conceptualization and negotiation of surveillance devices, the crafting of the geographical spaces where the disease is anticipated (hotspots) and the innovations deployed. Our focus is also on the beneficiaries themselves, at those who live in the hotspots, at their manner of representing the disease and its’ control strategies, to their negotiation with simultaneous risks (including cholera) and their preventive practices.Our approach consists of following those who track cholera and design control strategies, and those who are labelled as at risk for cholera and targets of said control strategies. We have thus carried out a multisited symmetric ethnography (Falzon 2016), in which participant observation is enriched by an observing participation (Fassin 2017)

Full textThe study of the posterior and middle part of the pelvis is of interest in forensic anthropology since it is an anotomical region that is often preserved. The goal of this study was to describe after the study of 52 pelvises of known age and sex. We isolated four acetabular criteria and for criteria criteria with the auricular surface. Each of the features was recorded independently and assigned a series of numerical scores corresponding to successive stages of degrees of expression. We then established a global score. In the second part of the study, we tested these features and the global score, on a sample concerned 462 os coxae. These scores were grouped together to produce seven stages for the purposes of age estimation. We used the SPSS 13. 0 software package for statistical analyses. Result - Discussion : We were able to isolate seven acetabular criteria which have a correlation with age. We defined 7 classes of overall score corresponding to eight age classes and calculated the probabilities of belonging to an age class depending on the overall score. It has been shown that there is non significant difference between sexes; This technique is of interest for people over 50 years old because it is possible to distinguish people under 60 and under 70 years. Conslusion : the study of the acetabulum is of interest for the age estimation of adult subjects. We propose a method using the acetabulum and the auricular surface and establishing an overall score. It could be possible to determine the probabilities of belonging to an age class depending on the overall score

Full textThough several million children have probably been infected by hiv in africa, their disease is not sufficiently known and less considered. The scope of this dissertation is to analyse the social treatment of aids in children in a southern country and the reasons for this silence. In the first section, we analyse the health "sub-system" devoted to children in bobo dioulasso as a symbolic and as a social system, through its participants, through the perceptions of disease especially diarrheas, malnutritions and aids and through different aspects of therapeutic relationships. In the second section, we study the emergence of aids, from perceptions to institutions, and we show how the social construction of aids, in the biomedical and the popular sectors, has eclipsed aids in children. In the third section, we study how hiv/aids is treated in the pediatric ward of a hospital, through its new practices, the local interpretation of international medical norms, the limits met by parents and health professionals, and the changes in professional roles. In a fourth section, we analyse the impact of aids on the biomedical system at three levels: the exclusion of hiv+children by services devoted to malnourished children , related to the social feature of the treatment of malnutrition; the absence of consideration for hiv transmission through breast-feeding, related to perceptions prevailing in the international medical culture; health seeking behaviors for children suspected to be infected by hiv depend more on social than on medical factors. Aids discloses the symbolic, practical, sociological logics of biomedical institutions, that do not always allow them to adapt to the epidemiological change. These logics related to north-south relationships contribute to "obliterate" the infection in children in southern countries, accentuating the gap between "northern aids" and "southern aids"

Full textThe complications faced by persons suffering from Type 2 Diabetes justify that the disease be taken as a public health priority. This is because the illness may generate both micro and macrovascular complications that can lead to disabilities and increased morbidity rates, as well as placing an economic and human burden on healthcare systems and societies. This thesis retraces the semiological and phenomenological trajectory from the onset of Type 2 Diabetes mellitus towards complications it poses to indigenous Polynesians living in urban areas of Tahiti. The interpretive and synchronic analysis follows an anthropological and public health perspective. It proposes and demonstrates that the evolution of Type 2 Diabetes into complications is not reducible to the natural history of the disease, nor to strictly physiopathological processes. The case study of 30 indigenous Polynesian carriers of diabetes mellitus recruited in both clinical and non-clinical milieus, and interviewed in the Tahitian language in their home environments, permits the analysis of narrative trajectories of the disease's experience from a semiological-phenomenological model. It is argued that the apparition and development of complications among these Polynesians result -beyond the influence of a person's socio-economic and educational status- from complex processes that involve the impact of a sufferer's interpretation of medical discourse and the lived experience of diabetes on the construction of one's representations of the illness, in this way structuring one's health attitudes, conduct and reactions. Mechanisms at the heart of producing complications are hereby organized according to the influence that representations of diabetes mellitus faced by Polynesians has on their behaviour vis-à-vis health problem(s), integrating psychosocial and cultural factors that influence the development of their illness into a serious condition. Spanning 30 case narratives, the analysis permits to distinguish different forms of the production of complications, and to reveal the inner structure of their mechanisms. Representations of diabetes constructed by Polynesians through their interpretations of message received in the clinical space and of those diffused in the media, most notably through prevention campaigns, permit us to understand the origin of potential difficulties and obstacles (e. G. Resistance by ill Polynesians to the Western medical system), and public health actors in their everyday practices. If the results of this study confirm and illustrate the fruitful nature of studies involving medical anthropology in the field of public health, they appeal to actors in the clinical domain, programme designers, and public health agents to reflect on their practices and the effects they produce. More largely, this thesis contributes to our deepening knowledge of indigenous communities and reinforces arguments by those who plea for a radical cultural change in public health (Bibeau, 1999)

Full textAdherence to antiretroviral therapy is a major stake of people with HIV medical care insofar as these treatments require to be followed nearly perfectly to be effective. This anthropological research addresses the issue of adherence while questioning at the same time the patient's medication-taking practices and the methods of people who prescribe treatment and/or accompany the persons with HIV/AIDS in their therapeutic difficulties. This study relies on a two years field survey carried out in Paris (France). The first part of this thesis explores the perspective of fifteen patients by studying their medication-taking and adverse effects experience and by trying to identify elements that shape and modify their medication behavior, in the direction of adherence failure or recovery. The three following parts are devoted to ethnographical description of several therapeutic accompaniment settings: the medical consultations of two public hospital services, two different adherence interventions in hospitals and one associative patients discussion group. The last part of this thesis proposes an analysis of the therapeutic behavior evolution process common to the whole of the interviewed patients, as well as a modeling of components of the relationship with the treatment which structure this behavior. Those results are compared with the methods and the logics of the different therapeutic accompaniment settings, in order to question their influence on the therapeutic behavior of the patients

Full textIn the Encyclopaedia, the entry under medicine takes a new approach in the definition of the different medical disciplines. The content of these new definitions is epistemological, social, moral and political. The study of the disease and the medical practices are two main themes. Study of semiological and nosological traditions, just as much as progress in anatomy and in pathological anatomy, leads to constantly renew the survey of the diseased subject. Medical thought evolves between an epidemical lecture of illness, originating from Antiquity, and a process of individuation : detect each kind of disease, each kind of population, each kind of individual prone to catch them. However, the bases of a real aetiology are not met as shown with the example of fevers. Reviewing medical practices is before all reviewing a conflict : exposing the empirics, medicine still remains subject to empiricism and this cannot be overcome. Experiment remains ambivalent, thus playing an essential part in constructing an identity of medicine, i. E. The clinical approach, but also in developing new practices such as inoculation. Last but not least, the same period in time sees the appearance of a social medicine, a medicine of regeneration mostly expressed with the development of hygiene. Between Hippocratic restraint, moral supremacy and social institution : hygiene alone could be considered a reflection of the historical and epistemological situation of medicine in this century. During the second half of the 18th century medical philosophy reconstructs the concepts of causality, limitation and relationship as applied in other sciences, expressing an espistemological approach applied to mankind

Full textIn this PhD thesis, the traditional medicinal practices were considered within the context of Mauritius Island and we have attempted to delimitate an area of interculturality where traditional medicinal practices are taking place and are shared by the different religious and ethnocultural communities of the island and are inserted in a common Mauritian ground. Thus, we have discovered that there is a common conception of the disease, the body, the invisibles, treatments, making part of this intercultural zone and resulting from the contact with cultures and creolization. We have thus considered the interweaving of the sacred and the secular within the traditional practices and made the statement that these two aspects were inseparable and necessary for the efficiency of treatments. We have also considered the healing rituals from the angle of identity while revealing the central role played by the ancestors in these treatments, in the inter-generational transmission of the gift of healing and clairvoyance but also as agents causing specific syndromes. This leads us to stress out the necessity to reaffirm the links toward the ancestors, the filiation of the patient and his family, inserting him in a group and therefore reinforcing his identity

Full textThis work examines the problems raised by the design and implementation of health education policy in Niger. It is focused on the process of emergence and developement of a national disposal and how it works especially in the water borne diseases programs in the Niger River valley villages. The main idea is that health education policy is undoubtely related to the state, but its implementation depends on non-state actors. Based on field surveys conducted in this region, this work describes the mechanism for ownership of broadcast messages and the constraints of health behavior changing in Niger rural villages. In describing these constraints, inadequate policies and poverty occupy a prominent place. If health education is of great relevance to public health, it must nevertheless be supported upstream by a consistent policy of raising the standard of living

Full textThis dissertation studies the management of child delivery in urban and semi-rural Mali. The childbirth process has been analysed through various strategic actors, wherever they aure located, in the social environnement as well as in the health system. A first part concerns the political context and the macro-decisions about delivery. Another part describes the narratives of actors and their practices concerning some crucial choices to be made during the childbirth process. On one hand, parturient and their relatives fluctuate between an individualistic logic and a communitarian one, according to their social milieu. On the other hand, when they enter into the health structures, the roles they play move as their relations with health agents develop. The new logics emerge, such as logics of “everything’s missing”, avoiding logics, concealing logics, logics of shortcutting, logics of self-victimizing, logics of domination, on one hand, and also, on th other hand, logics of strictness, of morality, or of quality seeking

Full textIn African hospitals, infectious risk constitutes a major public health problem. Moreover nosocomial infections are under-diagnose and underestimated and therefore the case management remains inadequate. This work proposes an anthropological approach of these issues. The survey took place in a West African hospital and was designed to describe health care workers activities about hospital hygiene and management of infectious risk. Field data show up a discrepancy between theoretical standards and real practices. Nevertheless, from a historic and geographical perspective, the study of these technical activities allows us to keep a distance with cognitivist and materialist approaches of skills and enlighten the crucial role of motivational aspects. Medical practice is a technical object setting on more than a mere scientific knowledge. It lies on socio-historic dimensions conferring meaning, special set up and implementation territory

Full textSince the 1960s and the 1970s, status of embryos and fetuses have changed in Western democracies. Today, the status of prenatal beings sways between "personalization" (with "humanizing" practices toward stillborns) and "objectification" (abortion, pregnancy termination for medical reasons, research on embryos, etc. ). How this outwardly phenomenon coexist in society? This is why we should think together embryo and fetus, and why we need a category which embrace both: prenatal being. According to a sociological and anthropological tradition, Mauss' relational approach, this research shows that is possible to understand "objectification" and "personalization" movements not in understanding them in ontological view but in understanding them both pragmatically (i. E "action") and relationally in inscribing them in temporality. This research focuses, in France, on the prenatal being during two stages of the gestational process: in vitro conception, via new reproductive technology procedures (NRT), and at birth, through perinatal death. These two specific stages allow understanding of how begetting sets its own temporality punctuated by established thresholds that mark the transition of the prenatal being, from being "nothing" to being everything, and from a "non-life" to an autonomous life. This leads to the finding that begetting is a relationaml process. This dissertation offers a socio-anthropological approach on the humanization process of the prenatal being that should renew the classic assumptions made in the abortion debate, i. E. Avoid divisions between biological or social and things or beings

Full textIn France, as in most Western countries, prison has been the subject of a growing number of biomedical publications since the 1980s that emphasize the high prevalence of certain chronic conditions among the prison population. Why do so many prisoners have “health” “problems”? This dissertation undertakes to answer this question by approaching health not as a state, but as a norm. At the intersection of the sociology of institutions, the sociology of medicine and the sociology of knowledge, it draws on an ethnographic study combining observations of judicial practices, monographs of prison medical services, interviews, statistics and analyses of scholarly articles. Through a processual approach, it shows how the penal system produces “ill persons” by confronting the individuals caught by its devices with health norms and medical knowledge. By attending to the bureaucratic practices, to the construction of (criminal, managerial and medical) decisions, to the concrete conditions under which biomedical studies are conducted in prison as well as their effects, to the judicial and scientific discourses, to care activities and to the appropriation of such care by prisoners according to their social background, the present investigation allows for an understanding of how medical power currently unfolds, in a discreet and diffuse fashion, in and by institutions that do not primarily mean to cure

Far from all "futile", "free", "epiphenomenal" character, in a context of life, where suffering is really felt, the "aesthetic" experiences and practices of patients and artists appear like responses to the limitations of biomedical knowledge and to the disfunctions of the institutional world of medicine, and are integrated into self-orientated "therapeutic" logics and strategies, the main object always being the possibility of resolving the pain

Full text‘Hysteria’ is a term often used within the French biomedical discourse: the patient it usually refers to is a woman complaining of durable pain, which medicine fails to relieve or explain, for lack of a visible lesion in her body – understand : anatomy. ‘Hysteria’ also has a long academic history, even before psychoanalysis. But this study focuses on biomedicine. ‘Hysteria’ remains, in France, a medical category, leading to medical strategies ; but it does not qualify as a diagnosis. How does this come about? Pain medicine was created at the end of the twentieth century, heralding an era of epistemological revolution, shattering the founding biomedical ‘body and soul/mind/psyche’ mythology, with remarkable consequences for these patients. But it remains marginal in France. This is a study in medical anthropology and a historical review. It looks into the system within which the recognition of hysteria occurs and lasts. From a systemic point of view, a problem only lasts if it serves a purpose. What or whose purpose does this recognition serve, when it only seems to create more suffering? When there are means to exit the crisis, that are not being used?The field work took place in a Pain Clinic, and benefited from pain medicine’s lifting of the veil over some of biomedicine’s founding mythology. It appears that French biomedicine takes part in the collective responses to violence. The recognition of hysteria is a key element of French society’s response to suffering, death, and gender issues. Medicine is a narrative, and tells a certain story about tragedy. Pain medicine could offer an exit to the systemic crisis called ‘hysteria’; but the stakes are high

Full textThe transmission of hepatitis C affects drug users (DUs) in particular, because sharing needles is a major factor in the transmission of the virus. A harm-reduction policy (HR) was implemented in France in order to reduce the health and social consequences of drug abuse. The policy is in keeping with the evolution of the new public health policies which promote people's abilities to look after themselves, and take into account the DUs' trajectories and the conditions in which they live in order to adapt the policies to their needs. The pragmatic policy aims at distancing itself from a judgmental attitude towards drug abuse and adopting a more medical and clinical approach. The restricted vision of the HR includes making sterile injection kits and opiate substitution treatments freely available. The neutral and pragmatic version of the HR implemented in France is in direct contradiction with the ethical and political view which considers that drug abuse is an integral part of the human rights. The thesis aims to improve the knowledge available on hepatitis C and on the DUs' high risk practices, from a multidisciplinary perspective, with a methodology combining bath an epidemiological and a socio-anthropological approach. The general issue of the thesis concerns the exposure to infectious risks, as well as people's ability to protect themselves. In doing so, the vulnerability of certain groups and contexts is described, and the laymen or women's and experts perceptions of risks are contrasted, in the socio-political context of the HRP. The thesis uses data provided mainly by the ANRS-Coquelicot Study carried out between 2004 and 2007 by the National lnstitute of Public Health Surveillance and the CESAMES, with the scientific and financial support of the National Agency for Research on AlOS and hepatitis (ANRS in French). The data are completed by research on the participation to public policies of DUs belonging to a self-help group. The main epidemiological results of the thesis show that the prevalence of HCV is 60% and that the high-risk practices related to injecting oneself continue among DUs; 13% of them share needles, and 38% their injection kits. Female DUs are particularly vulnerable to risk exposure related bath to sexual and drug using practices. The socio-anthropological approach makes it possible to better understand their vulnerability by introducing the dimension of sexual social interactions and the meaning attached to the notion of risk. Lndeed, the women's dependency on their partners reduces their ability to control the conditions in which they inject themselves and therefore encourages sharing injection kits. Women are 5 times more likely to borrow injection kits than men. The frameworks of the interpretation of risk taking by women show that infectious risks can come after emotional and relational risks. Furthermore, among the population of DUs who inject themselves, cocaine consumption encourages risk taking both on account of the effects of the drug and the fact that cocaine is often taken in the context of a group. DUs do run the risk of transmitting hepatitis C when they inject themselves, however they can also implement measures aimed at protecting themselves in some situations. These situations require limiting anything unexpected which might disturb their rituals and emphasize the importance given by DUs to the responsibility they feel they have to ethers. The involvement of DUs in the elaboration of harm-redudion policies by their commitment to self-support, contributes to give DUs credit for their knowledge, acknowledge their expertise and their involvement in preventive actions. This call to be responsible, autonomous citizens fits in with the neo liberal view of the HR, but it is in contradiction with the precarious and stigmatized daily reality of some DUs. Ln order to be efficient, harm reduction policies cannot lay the responsibility of risk taking on DUs alone, they must also take into account the structural components of risk taking by implementing important policies aimed at reducing social inequalities with regards to public health

Full textBased on a 4-year ethnography conducted in a GEM ("Groupe d'Entraide Mutuelle", i. E. Mutual help group) located in a major French city, this investigation focuses on the institutional and social construction of experiences and subjectivities of people suffering from mental illness. As "objects" of knowledge, they are being studied by a wide range of sciences. But in many case, even amongsocial sciences, those researches focus on the disease itself and address the person as a patient, despite the will of their authors to depict lived experiences. As "objects" of power, they are or have been supported by various institutions such as social work, psychiatry or strength case management. Relying on a long lasting fieldwork, close to the ordinary, within non-medical settings - and from there, following people in their daily wanderings -, I focus on their experiences, taking what matters to them as a starting point. Reversing the stand point, I approach those who are usually labelled and defined as "users", "patients", "lunatics" or "consumers" as persons. Their experience of illness is set in the context of their life trajectories and of their other social experiences, examining the tension between structural constraints and agency. By questioning the dialectic relations between those experiences, institutional technologies, as well as moral, political and semantic networks which surround them, I show how social statuses interact and contribute to shape person's daily lives and experiences. Little by little, studying everyday practices and discourses, and observing ways of being-in-the-world, I unravel the social, moral and institutional shaping of subjectivities

Full textEthnographic study (1974-1984) of peasants, merchants, craftsmen, workers, etc. , owners and practitioners of secret and religious, magico-medical prayers ("gifts") which remove common ills such as warts, psoriasis, toothache, stomach ache, worms, burns, body aches, etc. . These "curers" or "removers of suffering and or evil" live and work in Bress (region of wooded plains, varied habitats, mixed agriculture-stock raising) and in Bugey (region of limestone plateaus in the southern Jura mountains, hamlet habitat, mixed agriculture-viticulture): two regions united in the actual French department of Ain. This study articulates around three principal themes : 1) a reflection upon the ethnographic process. Description of the alteration process which characterizes long term observation and dialogue between ethnologist and "informants". Definition of the coherence and homogeneity of the successive positions the ethnologist understood, interpreted and more less assumed in order to maintain the field-work relation. It was necessary to make these positions intelligible, not only to account for the data gathered and used, but also to inform the dialogue with other field sites. 2) An elaborate reflection, less about folk medical practice (medical anthropology), than about the possession and daily use of the "gift" (social anthropology), to cure within a village group. To this end, i propose and discuss several relationships: magical and empirical "gifts" (among "ramouteurs" manipulators of bone, joint and muscle), "gifts" and the transmission of knowledge, "gifts" and folk religion, "gifts" and popular perception of the human body, "gifts" and sorcery. 3) a reflection, finally, on the representations of sickness, of evil and of unhappiness. I have attempted to define how symbolic knowledge, contained in secret prayers, is rooted in the concrete, daily life of the local group whose members are both patients and practitioners. Immediate consequence: the analysis demonstrates that therapeutic performance and its result (both scientific and folk) repose less on perceptions of imbalance within or relevant to the biological body than they do on the possible imbalance within the social body caused by the forces of evil

Full textThis thesis is based on an ethnographic study of medical care in a Cancer Treatment Center (abbreviated CLCC in French) in the Paris area. Because it has become a chronic disease, cancer has strongly influenced the way we understand the therapeutic relationship. Indeed, pâtients actively participate in treatment and in some cases master complex techniques that they should not be afraid to apply to their own bodies. The empirical material collected (observations and drawings of medical consultations in which doctors announce the diagnosis and of subsequent medical care) highlights the work done by caregivers and patients to incorporate biotechnological objects (tube pump, gastrostomy, bags, etc. . . ). It also shows how the Therapeutic PAtient Education (TPE) frames the transfer of skills from the caregiver/educator to the self-care of the patient and work stoward patient compliance, in other words, towards the physiological and psychological acceptance of this foreign body. Research results include the analysis of the trajectories of invasive medical devices and provides an in depth understanding of the work undertaken in the hospital to better patient acceptance of these technical objects, from the announcement of their therapeutic necessity to the patient's return home

Full textFor fighting HIV infection, therapies combinations' prescribed since 1996 has been successful so as to chronicize it. Because of a large number of contamination cases due to syringue sharing or non safe sexual intercourses, positive inmates had taken advantage of those regimens within the specific HIV health care. Presented as multivulnerables faced to different stigmatizations and often considered as in margins of society, analyzing both adherence to those treatments and its consequences on identity, yet moved by prison, could be profitable. So as to question patient-physician relationship and the goals of the different actors involved in the prison system. The thesis concludes that inmates, drug addicted or not, are adherents to those regimens at 85 %, just like the general population, thanks to their lifestyles, their mètis and to the support of the medical service, the social service and the associations. Which helps them to face the partly and temporary reification of their identity due to the philosophical and political conception of the prison system and his work. In the end, they manage both to protect their identity and to gain knowledge and abilities for long. But the totalitarian aspect of prison entails question about it as penal measure

He relies on a study of the group of mentally handicapped adults with whom he works and on the recall of different conceptions of intellectual deficiency since its individualisation by the psychiatric nosography from the beginning of the XIXth century until today. Thus, separated from trouble, invalidity and infirmity, can the handicap be defined as the social from of the pathological. It is to this that the third part of the thesis is devoted according to the problematic of exclusion and of integration and in the perspective of a dissociation of social phenomenon and emotional phenomenon

When cancer is gynaecological, women are affected in their physical integrity, their intimacy, their sexuality. . . Caring can become problematic. What implies in fact the patient-doctor interaction in front of intimacy? Through an anthropological research, women were followed during ambulatory gynaecological brachytherapy (internal treatment by rays of this type of cancer). From their first session of treatment to consultations after care, how the patients live this particular care? What makes sense for them? Finally, the care experience of women seems the overlap of spacial, temporal, relational and information factors and needs. Then, which outcomes can the medical team consider for meeting patients' needs? Which role can play an anthropology at hospital there?

Full textThe face, a particularly important area of the body in communication between individuals, contributes to a person being recognized, on the basis of anatomical, statistical and dynamic characteristics. As the centre designating the individual, it both links and distinguishes. This place of being, visible to all, gives rise to a powerful sense of identity: our feeling that we exist is intimately connected with our face and how others look at us. Starting from this observation, backed by references from the socio-anthropological literature and an ethnographic enquiry conducted in cervico-facial cancer department, completed by interviews and questionnaires, the author looks into what becomes of the question of identity when cancer and its treatment mutilate faces. Observation in the hospital centred on the interaction between carers and patients shows how fully the search for permanence of the identity is expressed in this relationship. The universe of orofacial cancer sheds light on the coexistence of high stakes in the identity issue: the permanence of self for the patient who suffers from the handicap of his appearance and, in parallel, the carer's ability to remain professional despite being confronted qith disfigurement day after day. The carer's work with the patients appears very natural but close study reveals a continual struggle against destabilizing emotions. Beyond this interaction between people facing different challenges, the question that arises is one of the relationship in which the patient is helped and accompanied. There remains the question of how the carers are supported, an issue that the author tackles from the standpoint of vocational training and the learning of a certain competence for living
