Full text"Incest is not equivalent of Oedipus complex". Did the famous assertion of Paul-Claude Racamier remove definitively the doubt felt, sometimes even expressed, by certain psychoanalysts to their patient victim of incestuous violence? Narratives or testimonies of the victims of incest collected in this thesis show that their attempt to reveal this ineffable secret continues to collide with a preconceived theory of the primal fantasy. Here arises an ethical question for the analyst listening to a victim of incestuous violence, quite similar to that when he or she faces a victim of other forms of extreme violence. Taking distance with an attitude which questions almost systematically the memory and the testimony of the victim, this work aims at investigating the complexity of the incest trauma experience: from the indescribable suffering to the indelible sense of guilt, from the denial to the awareness, from the autodestructive symptoms to the fight for the recognition. The intricacy between a terrifying real, a threatening imaginary and a symbolic order become problematic compels the psychoanalysis to go beyond the intrapsychical conflicts. Tempting an interdisciplinary approach between the psychoanalysis and the socio-ethnology, this research on the traumatic memory of the real incest does not intend to discredit the theory of the infantile sexuality and that of the Oedipus complex. On the contrary, it tries to clarify why and how the psychoanalysis, in spite of its limits, can help a person having undergone, at the same time as a real incest trauma, an oedipal tempest

Full textTo contemporary individuals, psychotherapy and personal development offer a promise of accomplishment through an experience of self-transformation. Such an ideal of accomplishment is both freedom and duty, and this thesis will view it as a distant heritage from the puritan ethic of vocation. It will argue that an emotional dynamic playing out in an ethical dimension is what gives both therapeutic experience and religious experience the same kind of symbolic efficacy, that of an act of faith. Whereby therapeutic healing appears to be in a large part a secularization of religious conversion, providing health in lieu of holiness. It will try and show that the mobilization of affects plays a driving role, in therapeutic experience as well as in religious experience, to convert cognitive perceptions into voluntary acts. It will present such a dynamic among feeling, thinking and willing, as a legacy of the psychological model of conversion built by the XVIIth century Puritans in the framework of Covenant Theology, wherein an act of faith was the conclusion of a practical syllogism, both voluntaristic and optimistic. In order to let appear that legacy, this thesis will trace the interaction between both sides of the Atlantic which resulted in two correlative features of the contemporary cultural model: on one hand, an ethic of transformation of personality toward exceeding the boundaries of the self, on the other hand the valuation of emotion as a criterion for authenticity of experience

Full textQigong or "breath training" was the most widespread expression of popular religiosity in post-Mao urban China. Based on traditional forms of mind and body discipline, qigong triggered a massive following in the 1980's and 1990's, until the repression in 1999 of Falungong, a sect derived from the qigong movement. This dissertation is a study of the history of qigong in mainland China from 1949 to 1999. It attempts to answer the question : how did a practise which was originally conceived and recognized as a healing method become the locus of a religious explosion, and then trigger a political conflict ? The first part describes the founding of modern qigong by the Chinese state as a component of its medical institutions, from 1949 to the Cultural Revolution. The second part describes the religious "boom" of qigong, from the end of the Cultural Revolution until 1989, a period when qigong became a mass movement whose legitimating ideology drew on both ancient tradition and modern scientism. Qigong became a contemporary expression of the sectarian subculture which, since the Ming dynasty, has occupied a large place in the Chinese religious landscape. But the open and active participation of state institutions distinguishes qigong from traditional Chinese sectarianism. Qigong could prosper by combining state institutional support and the dynamism of popular groups. The third part analyses the political crisis of qigong in the 1990s, during which several strategies competed for the control of the thousands of masters and millions of adepts, and for the management of the symbolic, economic and political potential of the movement. In the end, an ideological, religious and political radicalisation imposed itself, expressed through Falungong's militancy and the state's repression campaign

Full textThe cornea, because of its superficial anatomical location, is continually subjected to abrasive forces and various traumas, which can lead to significant visual impairments. Damages to the corneal epithelium trigger important changes in the composition of the extracellular matrix (ECM) to which the basal human corneal epithelial cells (hCECs) attach. These changes are perceived by integrins that activate different intracellular signalling pathways, ultimately leading to reepithelialization of the injured epithelium. The aims of this study was, first, to identify the signalling mediators whose expression and/or activation was altered during the healing process of the cornea, and second, to analyze the impact of the inhibition of one of these signalling mediators, the WNK1 kinase, on the corneal wound healing. Analysis of the gene profiling data and kinase arrays revealed important alterations in the expression and activity of several mediators, including the WNK1 kinase, in response to the ECM changes that occur during corneal wound healing. Using both monolayers of hCECs and tissue-engineered human corneas (hTECs) as in vitro models, we demonstrated that pharmacological inhibition of WNK1 by WNK463 significantly reduced the rate of corneal wound closure. In addition, Western blot analyzes and growth rate measurements have shown that inhibition of WNK1 prevents the activation of its downstream target proteins SPAK and OSR1, and alters the proliferative properties of hCECs, respectively. Finally, these results allowed the identification of WNK1 as an important player in the wound healing of the cornea, thus assigning a new function to this kinase. These results will therefore contribute to a better understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in corneal wound healing and could lead to the identification of new therapeutic targets in the treatment of corneal wounds.

Full textThe cornea is a unique tissue due to its transparency, a crucial feature allowing proper light transmission to the retina. However, because of its position at the outer surface of the eye, the cornea is subjected to traumas that may alter vision quality. Such traumas may affect the capacity of corneal stem cells to regenerate the tissue. In that case, visual acuity is greatly reduced or even abolished. Corneal wound healing is a complex process that involves extracellular matrix remodeling as well as many cellular processes such as migration, proliferation, differentiation and cell-cell communication. The goal of this thesis was to study the molecular and cellular processes that occur during corneal wound healing. To do so, human tissue-engineered corneas as well as primary corneal cells cultivated as monolayers were used to study corneal wound healing. Using these in vitro models, we established that corneal wound healing processes could be significantly accelerated by inhibiting the protein CREB while activating the protein AKT. The pharmacological agents used were C646, a CREB inhibitor, and SC79, an AKT agonist. These pharmacological agents were also used in vivo in a rabbit wound model. After establishing the best method for creating reproducible corneal wounds, we showed that the lowest concentrations of C464 and SC79 tend to accelerate the healing. As exosomes are well known to participate in cell-cell communication during wound healing, we isolated these small extracellular vesicles secreted by either corneal epithelial cells, corneal fibroblasts and corneal endothelial cells. Their impact on the corneal wound healing process was therefore investigated. Taken together, the results presented in this thesis lead to a better understanding of the molecular and cellular processes that take place during corneal wound healing. Based on these novel and promising results, we worked on the development of an innovative treatment that may significantly reduce the wound healing time and therefore the risk of complications. This new therapeutic approach is an encouraging opportunity to improve the treatment currently offered to patients suffering from corneal wounds.

Full textThe wound healing process is essential to restore the skin barrier function to prevent fluid loss and infection. It is a process led by many factors and inflammation is an important one. Furthermore, the peripheral nervous system plays an important role in this process by inducing neurogenic inflammation that lead to neuropeptides secretion, more specifically P substance (SP) and Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide (CGRP), by sensitive neurons. Diabetes is a common pathology that can cause neuropathy and aggravates wound healing closure. Hyperglycemia induced in diabetes can causes tissues glycation by the formation of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), like N-carboxymethyl-Lysin (CML) that is expressed in skin. Some patients develop a neuropathy that participated in the wound healing alterations. That can lead to ulcer development and high risks of lower limb amputation. Our interest to find a treatment with AGE-breaker, aminoguanidine (prevent AGE formation), and neuropeptides SP in combination of CGRP is attractive because it inhibits deleterious effects by AGEs in wound healing and it compensate for the neurons death and the decrease of neuropeptides. Results show that our proposed treatment accelerated wound closure. This approach could avoid to some diabetic patients to the need of lower limb amputation by rapidly and efficiently closing foot ulcer and at the same time, avoid other complications like infections.

Full textThree million people are living in France with a personal past of cancer and undergo difficulties in accessing loans and insurance. Since 2016, the French law « modernisation de notre système de santé » set the "right to be forgotten" (time beyond which insurance applicants with a past of cancer will no longer have to declare it) at 10 years after the end of treatment. From a statistical point of view, this delay can be considered as the time from which mortality due to cancer (excess mortality) disappears. After this time, the net survival curves reach a plateau corresponding to the proportion of cured patients. The verification of this hypothesis is based on two criteria: a negligible excess mortality rate and a graphic confirmation of the existence of a plateau. We proposed a new definition of the time-to-cure as the time from which the probability of belonging to the cured group reaches 95%.The first aim of this thesis was to estimate time-to-cure for each cancer site by sex and age using population-based data from the FRANCIM registries network. Time-to-cure was lower than 12 years in most sites complying with the cure hypothesis. It was less than 5 years, or even null in some age groups, for skin melanoma, testicular and thyroid. Criteria to verify the cure hypothesis are subjective and time-to-cure is not directly estimated in pre-existing cure models. A new model has been developed including time-to-cure as a parameter to address the question of statistical cure and to allow direct estimation of time-to-cure.The second objective of this thesis was to compare, in controlled situations in which the excess mortality rate became null, the performances of this new model with that of two other cure models. Estimated net survival and cure fraction have been compared to the theoretical values used to simulate the data. Direct estimation of time-to-cure is possible under strict conditions

Full textThis thesis aims to investigate the therapeutic itineraries of the third revelation, or spiritism, in France and Brazil. The investigation is achieved in urban contexts, that is to say Paris and the metropolitan region of Brasília. Spiritism was born as a science and philosophy in France. It was settled as a religion in Brazil. In these both countries, it confronted medicine. According to spiritist representations and practices, both health and disease comprehend, other than bio-psychosocial dimension, the spiritual dimension. This permeates not only religious and scientific questions, but also political, ethical and juridical questions and interrogates the very definition of healing. In this sense, there are several indicators of spiritual diagnostics and treatments’ efficacy. We present reports of healing of patients and narratives of mediums that attend spiritist institutions as well as interviews with physicians, members of medical-spiritist associations, researches in medicine concerning the relationships between health and spirituality and an announcement issued by the Brazilian Medical Federal Council. What do these individuals and groups say about the subject of the present research? How to explain the successful cases? Is it suggestion, placebo effect, symbolic efficacy? What are the divergences and convergences between health and spiritism? These are the itineraries that this thesis attempts to cross. And it is from these paths that we intend to open new perspectives of comprehension of the other and of ourselves

Full textSacred rituals are at the center of traditional therapeutic practices. The island of Corsica is home to different types of traditherapists, notably the signadori. They show a particular connection between a transitioning social discourse, their own psychic conflicts and the demand. This clinical research, with an ethnopsychoanalytic perspective, is based on interviews conducted in the field with healers. Data collected were analysed in accordance with the standardised IPA (Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis) method. A psychopathological episode, also considered as an « initiatory crisis » in hindsight, would lead to the « gift ». It represents a system of symbolic exchange, underpinned by the original debt, which dialectises ambivalence and otherness. The hold drive is at the center of this system. The prohibitions that secure this drive constitute an intrapsychic sacred space. Their transgression or ritualized reminder could well appear prototypical witchcraft actions and those to conjure them

Full textThe aim of this thesis is to understand the modalities and the logics of arrangements in religious healing practices in Betsileo region, in the central highlands of Madagascar. In this context, the ritual treatments are offered by soothsayers-healers and possessed by family ancestors, royal ancestors and/or spirits of the nature, but also the exorcists of the lutheran protestant movement of Revival (fifohazana), who appeared in the Betsileo village of Soatanàna, in 1894. This research was principally conducted in the regional capital, Fianarantsoa, and its surroundings. This study aims, by examining religio-therapeutic process, to investigate the juxtaposition of healing methods in spite of impervious discourses. Therapeutic itineraries lead patients to treatment rooms in soothsayers-healers’ homes, to reception rooms of the Revival movement, to public places of worship (in the city of Fianarantsoa and surrounding forest areas), to herbalist market stalls in urban areas, or tohospitals and dispensaries. Thus, the central dimension of religious territoriality appears as central to these cumulative logics in the Betsileo region, in Madagascar, but also in Malagasy Protestant Church abroad (FPMA). In this sense, the relation to religious-therapeutic is constructed in a globalized world and is negociated with the codes of biomedicine

Resumo: O objetivo desta pesquisa é descrever os rituais de cura que acontecem nos círculos pentecostais e conhecer os motivos que levaram os doentes a recorrerem a um ambiente religioso para a cura, precisamente nas igrejas de Armada Celeste (Église de Dieu Bataillon des Élus). Para conseguir isso, fizemos observações participativas e entrevistas organizadas com os pacientes e curandeiros para que pudessem testemunhar a suas experiências. Em primeiro lugar, tentamos situar o movimento da Armarda Celeste entre os grandes momentos do Pentecostal, depois consideramos os rituais de cura e, finalmente, identificamos os diferentes tipos de curas milagrosas na Igreja (Église de Dieu Bataillon des Élus), tais como: cura por gestos, óleo sagrado, banho de folhas, oração, unção divina e a colocação de mãos. Os resultados desta pesquisa também nos permitiram entender que esta nova afiliação dos doentes para recorrer ao Armada Celeste não é apenas uma questão de fé ou proximidade geográfica com a Igreja, mas também, devemos explicar a eficácia desta medicina alternativa proposta pela Igreja (Église de Dieu Bataillon des Élus)contra a freqüente inutilidade da medicina convencional para doenças culturalmente vistas no Haiti como"sobrenaturais ou naturais". Há também o aspecto econômico, uma vez que a cura proposta pelas Igrejas da Armada Celeste é um benefício direto do favor de Deus e, portanto, é completamente gratuita. Esta nova elucidação nos permite compreender melhor as reivindicações desta oferta e descrever os rituais das curações pentecostais dentro da busca pelo bem-estar individual entre a pluralidade de ofertas terapêuticas complementares no Haiti.

Abstract: The purpose of this research is to describe the healing rituals happening in Pentecostal circles and to know the reasons that led the sick to turn to a religious setting for healing, precisely in the Celestial Army churches (Église de Dieu Bataillon des Élus). To achieve this, we made participatory observations and organized interviews with the patients and healers so that they could testify their experiences. At first, we tried to situate the Celestial Army (lame Selés) movement among the great moments of Pentecostal, then we considered the healing rituals and finally, we identified the different types of miraculous healings in the Church of (Église de Dieu Bataillon des Élus), such as: healing by gestures, holy oil, leaf bath, prayer, divine anointing, and the laying of hands. The results of this research also enabled us to understand that this new affiliation of the sick to turn to the Celestial Army is not only a matter of faith or geographical proximity with the Church, but also, we must account for the effectiveness of this alternative medicine proposed by the Church of (Église de Dieu Bataillon des Élus) against the often uselessness of conventional medicine for Sicknesses (diseases) in Haiti culturally viewed as "supernatural or natural". There is also the economic aspect, since the healing proposed by the Churches of the Celestial Army is a direct benefit of the favor of God and therefore is completely free. This new elucidation allows us to better understand the claims of this offer and to describe the rituals of Pentecostal healings within the quest for individual wellness among the plurality of complementary therapeutic offerings in Haiti. Keywords: Celestial Army, Rituals, Healings, Natural Sickness, Supernatural Sickness, Alternative Medicine, Pentecostal.
Résumé: Le but de ce travail de recherche est de décrire les rituels de guérisons pratiquées en milieu pentecôtiste, de connaitre les raisons qui ont poussé les personnes malades se tourner vers la guérison en milieu religieux précisément dans les églises Armée Céleste (Église de Dieu Bataillon des Élus). Pour y arriver, nous avons mené des observations participantes et avons organisé des entretiens individuels auprès des malades et des guérisseurs pour qu'ils puissent porter témoignage de leurs expériences. Nous avons essayé d'abord de situer le mouvement Armée Céleste parmi les grands moments du pentecôtiste, ensuite considérer les rituels de guérisons et identifier les différents types de guérisons miraculeuses préposées dans l'Église de Dieu Bataillon des Élus comme la guérison par des gestes, par l'huile sainte, par le bain de feuille, par la prière, par l'onction divine et la guérison par l'imposition des mains. Les résultats de cette recherche nous ont permis aussi de comprendre également que cette nouvelle affiliation des personnes malades qui vont tourner vers l'Armée céleste n'est pas seulement une question de croyance de foi ou proximité géographique avec l'Église mais aussi nous devons tenir compte de l'efficacité cette médecine alternative proposer par l'Église de Dieu Bataillons face à l'inefficacité de la médecine bio médicale pour des maladies en Haïti culturellement appelée " maladie surnaturelle ou maladie naturelle ", sans pour autant nous détourner aussi de l'aspect économique puisque la guérison proposée par les Églises de l'Armée céleste se relève de l'oeuvre de la gratuité et de la faveur de Dieu. Ce nouvel éclairage permet de mieux saisir les prétentions de cette offre et de décrire les rituels de guérisons pentecôtistes à se ranger au sein des quêtes de mieux-être individuel parmi la pluralité des offres thérapeutiques complémentaires en Haïti.

Full textLa cornée est la couche la plus antérieure de l'oeil et sa transparence permet de laisser passer les ondes lumineuses vers la rétine. Cependant, la localisation de la cornée la prédispose à des blessures chimiques et mécaniques. La guérison des blessures cornéennes est un mécanisme complexe faisant intervenir la mort cellulaire, la migration, la prolifération, la différenciation et le remodelage de la matrice extracellulaire (MEC). Dans cette étude, nous avons utilisé la cornée humaine reconstruite par génie tissulaire composée d’un épithélium et d’un stroma afin d’étudier les mécanismes cellulaires et moléculaires de la guérison des plaies, en particulier le remodelage de la MEC exercé par les métalloprotéinases matricielles (MMPs). Les analyses en profilage génique sur biopuces à ADN nous ont permis de démontrer que l’expression de plusieurs gènes était dérégulée lors de la guérison des plaies dans notre modèle. L’expression des gènes codant pour les MMPs, tel que confirmée en qPCR, est augmentée dans l’épithélium migrant afin de recouvrir la plaie. Les analyses en zymographie sur gel ont démontré que les MMPs étaient converties en leur forme enzymatiquement active au fur et à mesure que la lésion se referme. Par ailleurs, nous avons démontré que l’expression des MMPs par les cellules épithéliales est influencée par la présence des fibroblastes dans le stroma ainsi que par leur sécrétion d’une MEC enrichie en collagènes. De plus, les analyses en spectrométrie de masse ont confirmé que la présence d’un épithélium stratifié est requise pour la synthèse et l’organisation adéquate de la MEC. Enfin, les résultats de ces travaux améliorent nos connaissances des mécanismes cellulaires et moléculaires qui modulent la guérison des plaies cornéennes et pourront certainement mener à des progrès en clinique, notamment au niveau du développement de thérapies visant à traiter les troubles de la cornée.
The cornea is located at the outer surface of the eye and its transparency is required to allow light transmission to the retina. However, because of its location, the cornea is subjected to chemical and mechanical injuries. Corneal wound healing is a complex mechanism involving many processes such as cell death, migration, proliferation, differentiation and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling. In the present study, we used a tissue-engineered, two-layers (epithelium and stroma) human cornea as a biomaterial to study both the cellular and molecular mechanisms of wound healing, more specifically the ECM remodeling exerted by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). Gene profiling on microarrays revealed important alterations in the pattern of genes expressed by tissue-engineered corneas in response to wound healing. Expression of many MMPs-encoding genes was shown by microarray and qPCR analyses to increase in the migrating epithelium of wounded corneas. Many of these enzymes were converted into their enzymatically active form as wound closure proceeded. In addition, expression of MMPs by human corneal epithelial cells was affected both by the stromal fibroblasts and the collagen-enriched ECM they produce. Most of all, results from mass spectrometry analyses provided evidence that a fully stratified epithelium is required for proper synthesis and organization of the ECM on which the epithelial cells adhere. This study will improve our understanding of the cellular and molecular mechanisms that modulate human corneal wound healing by exploiting a new, innovative 3D reconstructed tissue much closer to the native cornea. It is likely that our study will lead to the development of novel therapies for the treatment of many corneal disorders.

Full textTreatment of chronic wounds remains a major challenge in clinic and efficient treatment options are still limited. The goal of this project was to create and evaluate the potential of bioengineered cellular wound dressings made of adipose-derived stem/stromal cells (ASCs) for cutaneous wound healing. Dressings made of ASCs differentiated or not towards the adipogenic lineage were produced using the self-assembly approach and were evaluated using an adapted in vitro wound healing model. The effect of these dressings was assessed by measuring the progression of reepithelialisation on in vitro wounds, by characterizing dressing’s secreted products and by histological and immunohistochemical analyses. This research suggests that ASCs could be used as an alternative or a complement to dermal fibroblasts for the production of autologous dressings useful for healing of chronic wounds.

Full textThis thesis is based on an ethnography realized in the Indian group Baré (Arawak of Brazil and Venezuela). This ethnic group was submitted to a strong impact during the contact with Whites and even, for a moment, has been considered as disappeared in Brazil. However, Baré then reappeared with a very rich culture: at the same time as they kept their beliefs and traditional practices, they "grafted" on it various cultural items from Rio Negro's other ethnic groups and, too, beliefs and practices linked with popular catholicism, notably with some saints they are using in some healing requests. I study the interaction between baré myths, diseases and healing practices in the light of baré imaginary and their representations of illness, origins and treatments of the ailments which arte normally treated by biomedicine. I also analyse the different forms of traditional medicine, notably those of the pajés (shamans), as well as the various modalities of using both western and/or traditional medicine. In addition, this work analyses the respective importance of every therapeutics and the Baré's feeling when one of them is lacking. The Baré's traditional medicine, grounded on their myths or ancestral and actual beliefs and their way of life, appears to be fundamental and efficient to treat a great number of diseases with "supernatural" origin (sorcery, intoxication), as well as other natural environmental dangers. Traditional medicine appears to them as necessary and, at the same time, complementary to the biomedicine, with which it forms a subjectively effective pair

Full textDespite the wide array of medical facilities in Nouakchott, access to healthcare and treatment for child patients constitutes a major public health issue. Rather than measuring the respective importance of a predetermined series of factors, the anthropological approach focuses on the sociocultural settings which affect access to care. The environments in which children evolve over the course of their illness must be understood both at a local and a global level. In this perspective, this dissertation outlines the cases of about twenty sick children, documented through interviews with the children and their parents. Complementary to these, interviews with grandmothers, an ethnography of urban therapeutic pluralism and formalized observations in pediatric wards were also conducted. The identification of children’s illnesses, formulated from popular knowledge associated with mothering practices and nosological representations, is studied among the Haal Pulaar. Conjugal models and kinship relations permit composite variations between urban and rural environments, as well as those of affluence or of poverty. These different family configurations not only affect the children’s possibility to express themselves about their ailments or pain, but also the decisional power of the mothers when seeking care. We then consider how the families evolve within spaces of therapeutic pluralism, perceiving healthcare options through the prism of their experience and their mobility. The unequal distribution of the medical offer, its lack of control and transparency, contribute to the isolation of certain children, who are limited to informal, underqualified home care. Finally, we examine the healthcare in pediatric wards where admission does not necessarily ensure systematic healthcare and treatment delivery. The cost of medical acts and treatment, operational norms and procedures, and the organization of medical work form a discriminating and selective framework for care. Confronted with the difficulties to access care, using their economic and social resources, family members and relatives strive to negotiate the therapeutic itinerary of their child. The analysis of the singular and temporary trajectories that result from these negotiations will elucidate the construction of social inequalities of health and healthcare

Full textInstinct tells us that sickness is an ill from which we must recover, but we must know if instinct is enough to explain what is evident, in other words, if reason can even account for what resists its hold on rationality. In short, if it's possible to argue "with reason" on a question which, from the outset, involves the subject. This work falls within the scope of hermeneutic phenomenology. It questions the critical life experience of confronting "serious illness", meaning an illness that "nature" cannot cure, and looks at what the effort required to recover teaches us about our humanity. Separate from the perspective which seeks to identify “the essence of the cure,” my aim is to interpret what is at play in the subject's personality, who undertakes to recover, in other words maintains their commitment, independently of the objective conditions for recovery. As taking into consideration both individual and collective health requirements could mask the subjective element of the relationship to health in the growing importance accorded to the concept of care and ‘’good’’ care. With the best intentions in the world health research could avoid the question of the subject's participation in defining "living well" and transform itself into a new attempt to normalize humanity. I have chosen to examine the conditions for the possibility of and upholding of our resistance as a subject for the confrontation with illness strips us of our power and obliges us to make a stand for life, for a meaning to life, despite being exposed to death. The moment of truth – and in this sense an event – where the self of the subject, is at stake. Faced with illness, the subject experiences an ordeal which is intimately bound to their attitude to life, which itself is no longer evident. I try to throw some light on which subject medical practice addresses to elicit interrogation and if possible to open a new area of resources for people responsible for healing. Resources which lead to a rethinking of our relationship to sensitive subjects and the illusion of one’s compassionate control. Resources which reconsider the subject’s capacity to resist “the way things are”. Resources which make and remake the vital link to life, of which the primary test for us is always “emotional,” convinced that if the subject alone decides their recovery, none can heal alone.My reasoning will explore the entrenchment, or not, of the subject in the affectivity of life, look again at the potential or necessary link between affectivity and liberty as well as the connection between the one and the other to responsibility.This will lead us to question the paradigm of resilience to consider the subject's capacity for integration, to question guilt as the norm which regulates the moral conscience and disaffection with love in order to remain master of one's self.I want to show that the phenomenon of resilience does not permit the hypothesis of a possible integrity of the subject; resilience can also be considered as an artifact produced by an individual who assembles an attitude to the disaster residing in them and destroying them bit by bit.I put forward the, without doubt thorny, hypothesis, that guilt is an accomplice of the physical and moral ill and thereby alters a resistant subject's ability to confront the situation. That emotional integrity, “at the heart of the subject” has always preceded the ill and affirms before any destructiveness and negativity a “generosity of self.”Lastly, I will explore the ability to love as a reality of the highest importance to consider the integrity of a subject, filled with the love of life who undertakes to spread "good". From this, comes this generosity, this is what, in the framework of our research, we call “healing.”

Full textAt the end of the 1980's, while the first HIV/AIDS cases appeared, together with the Ethiopian Government the Ethiopian Orthodox Täwahedo Church (EOTC) committed officially itself to the fight against HIV/AIDS. In the 1990s, followers of the Ethiopian Church on their side started to dedicate themselves to holy water ritual hoping to be cured miraculously of HIV/AIDS. In 2004, the EOTC started to receive American subventions in order to promote abstinence and faithfulness among its followers. Two years later, antiretroviral treatments began to be largely and freely distributed entering in conflict with the spiritual values of the holy water cure, which excludes any other kind of therapy. This study, combining health and religion socio-anthropology approaches focuses on the way the Ethiopian Christianity in its two components – both institutional (EOTC) and ritual (Ethiopian Church) – involved itself in the fight against the epidemic. Furthermore, it addresses the way americans' grants and antiretroviral treatments became factors of change in this particular ancient Church. The analysis shows that traditionally, the Ethiopian Christianity is not a body in charge of regulating its followers' sexual behaviour. It is significant that followers infected by HIV seek healing through holy water cure for it reveals that in this religion, the emphasis is being put on forgiveness and redemption. Within the sociology of religious facts, this approach brings to light the fact that the Ethiopian Christianity is a religion of forgiveness, and thus that it will focus more on healing than prevention

Full textThis research explores the extent of the devotion addressed to Doctor Sousa Martins and the therapeutic regarding such phenomenon. This prominent figure of Portuguese Medicine who lived at the end of 19th century and who was well-known for his charisma and philanthropy, is nowadays considered to have an intermediary position and sui generis between medicine and faith. A double status emerges regarding the appropriation of places in the sense that the practice of worship around his statue representing a perfect replicate of his doctoral profession is situated right in the heart of the hospital neighbourhood in Lisbon. Therefore, we focused on the heterogeneous votive practices as well as the devotional therapeutic settings unregulated by a religious intitution demonstrating as to how the act of promise towards such a tutelary figure of medicine is portrayed. Our intention was to determine the nature of belief concerning the healing processes by taking into consideration the extent of such a highly constructed spatiality. In this respect, we resorted to comparisons with the sanctuary in Fatima and the natural healer beach at Consolação. Within this range of therapeutic resources, the specificity of Sousa Martin's case lies in the idiosyncratic dimension of a laic "cult", which unfolds beginning with an alternative space of devotion. µIn this context, by taking into account thouroughly the pragmatic dimension, we analysed the objects and the places of devotion, which may also described as healing wishes formulated towards a privileged interlocutor through a series of dispositives as a means of establishing a relationship with the entity of the doctor

Full textThe Basaa-Bantu, population of south Cameroon, have had in turn, a traditional conception of disease -cure, a western and modern conception, to which was added a Christian conception. After 100 years of Christianism, these populations associate on the one hand the traditional medicine with modern medicine and demonstrate, on the other hand, signs of a real adaptation of the evangelical message to the extent that they can, from these various conceptions of a new examination of the scriptures and the tradition of church, propose to the universal church a semantic transition from the sacrament of the sick to the sacrament of recovery. A transition which is adaptable to the African conception of disease and cure. This recovery should be taken less in magical sense then biblical. In effect, the cure propose by Jesus Christ to man of all time and all places, is a total cure of man. It comprises a spiritual dimension which can bring about a bodily cure with a view to the realization of its salvation. A dimension in reality, very close to the African conception

Full textThis thesis analyzes healing practices in the Pentecostal churches in beti’s sociocultural context in Yaoundé, particularly in the true Church of God of Cameroon. These Pentecostal churches have been increasingly multiplying across the country since the end of religious restrictions in 1990. This opening corresponds to the period where small businesses activities exploded, even in the religious field, in a situation of economic collapse. Many persons create their own church, with the pretention to break down witchcraft. In the etiological speeches, dreamlike stories emerge as the narrative form preferred by the actors to account for their situation. Witchcraft aetiology reflects the search for well-being, but, more fundamentally, it cannot be understood outside local theories of the word. Dreams details are interesting material that allows us to analyze these theories as well as stakeholders’ expectations. The thesis is organized in seven chapters. The first concerns theoretical and methodological guidelines (chapter 1). Then comes ethnography of contemporary Beti society based on the historical and symbolic influences of the state administration, of schooling and that of Catholic and Protestant Christianity (chapter 2). Nowadays, the rapid expansion of Pentecostalism breaks down the monopoly of the old churches, particularly that of Catholicism in Yaoundé (chapter 3). The dream seems to be an etiological springboard which makes people move, seeking meaning and healing in the Pentecostal churches (Chapter 4). I analyze dream as an ontological medium driving social action. Its interpretations reflects local theories of the world and social transformations. Dreams interpretations fuels the meaning given to the disease (Chapter 5). The family is at the centre of sorcery problems and a space of the creation and the appropriation of dreams’ meaning. I will then try to understand why women are so vulnerable to all sorts of problems in their families and to demonic possession in the Pentecostal churches (Chapter 6). Finally, I will analyze conversion as a healing condition, the meaning and the concrete fruits of healing (Chapter 7).

Full textThis dissertation aims at writing a theological analysis of the representations of illness and practices of healing within African Christian communities. Those practices are done as a way to respond to existential questions raised by the traditional world, questions related particularly to illness and sorcery. They are also a quest for solutions to evils which challenge modernity: poverty, sharing wealth, issues related to political power, etc. Therefore, Christ as a healer becomes a key figure who articulates modernity and tradition. Around him takes place a process of Christianization of the representations of illness and practices of healing, which proposes the expected salvation as magics. As a result of this approach, healing Christologies become functional. They replace the categories of a "christology from the top" by a Christology of proximity which introduces Christ as the "one with the people" in their real existential life conditions. We go from an ontological Christology to an existential Christology. The divine healing around Christ raises relevent questions. However, the response to it reduces salvation to itts external signs without fully capturing its meaning. Taking into account the questions raised by all those requests for healing from African Christian communities, it is way more than simply setting up healing prayers. We are rather invited to deeply reflect on mediations by which Christ's healing can be deployed today in Africa, and to better understand the theological, ecclesiological and pastoral implications of it

In all cases, an observation : confiscation of hospital cares by the rich, return farmers towards healers which shows that health is not symmetrical to economic development (Cote-d'Ivoire) or ideology (guinea). 2. Approach of traditional African medicine : 2. 1. From wishes for blessing, from passage rituals and from actual therapeutic rituals. Nosology and etiology and the community aspect of diseases make us perceive structure of therapy as well, made with interaction of vital forces against death powers. 2. 2.

Full textThe purpose of our research is to study and explore the mental ilness field and its treatment with the traditional Moroccan medecine. In fact, the mental ilness field reveals a plurality of remedies associated with modern psychiatric care, a care by traditioonal system that occupies a very important place in the Moroccan health system such as fqīhs, and holy healers. In this regard, we have chosen to shed light on these means used in order to define their limits by revealing all types of practices of wichcraft linked to the supernaturel representation introduced by traditional practioners, such as the most famous Saint Būyā Umār (16th century) whou used to host the practice of chaining mentally ill people. This problematic situation sparked a great contreversy in 2015 witch ended up by its closure

Full textThis thesis questions the motives and devices that preside over the preference of actors for "spiritual healing" in Côte d'Ivoire. In this perspective, an ethnographic survey was conducted in the prayer camp Jesus Path of Truth, located in Gonzague city south of Abidjan. For many individuals in search of an answer to their misfortune, the prayer camps present themselves as an alternative to the conventional health care system, as the place where not only their body, but also their soul can be treated. In order to investigate the motives underlying the religious conversion to Pentecostalism, interviews were conducted with the "faithful-sick", religious leaders of the camp as well as visitors. We also set out through participant observation to describe the many ritual activities of the camp, the atmosphere that reigns there as well as the forms of sociability that develop there.Our survey shows that "spiritual healing" can be understood as a process of identity transformation whose manifestations are felt in all spheres of the lives of the faithful, and in particular in the intimate dimension of the relationship to oneself, to God. and the environment (community, family). We have also highlighted the importance of ritual devices, and in particular the role of affects and the body in this transformative process. The work of the space of the camp, its materiality, its sensory and relational environment are all dimensions of the ritual practices which favor an intense emotional commitment of the faithful and which participate directly in the "(re)invention of the self". (Kaufman, 2004). To defend this perspective, we proceeded in two stages. In the first part of this thesis, we situate the Pentecostal movement in the Ivorian religious care market. In the second part, we describe and analyze in detail the many liturgical activities offered within the camp, as well as their potential extension outside of it

Full textIn the early modem Europe of the Religious Wars, numerous physicians, philosophers, artists, soldiers, theologians and occultists hailed a special unguent called weapon-salve (Waffensalbe or unguentum armarium) as the pre-eminent remedy for knife wounds - a salve which was applied not to the victim’s laceration, but rather to the blood-stained weapon that caused the wound. Its compounds — mumia, usnea and human fat were drawn from human corpses, and formed a revitalizing baim in accordance with certain pharmaceutical tracts edited and corrected by disciples of Paracelsus. The notions of sympathy and magnetism were proffered alongside corpuscular theories 0f matter and transplantation of diseases as explanations for the “magnetic” efficacy of hopliatria. The healing power of nature, effective words, ‘fancy’, faith in medicine, therapeutic eros and melanchoiy ail contributed to the healing process, leading from credulitas to a healing ecstasy. Just as they did in the age ofMarsilio Ficino, scholars disagreed as to the role of superstition as well as the demarcations between natural and ‘demonic’ action of the weapon-saive, magnetic medicine being perceived as the medical equivalent of natural magic

Full textIn the psychodynamic description of borderline organization of personality, the concepts used usually refer to a pejorative quality underlining an emotional immaturity in their behavior. During psychotherapy, if an individual reaches a sense of well-being, should this be accompanied with a change in its mental functions that brings about neurosis? Upon this question was erected a study on the specifics of borderline organization of personality and its relation with the questions of change and of the transference challenges it implies. An experiment using the projective methods (Rorschach, TAT) has allowed a comparison of results from borderline patients before and after two years of psychoanalytic psychotherapy. The results show little change in the structure of their personality. A certain development of their capacity to function in the transitional area is observable and could be associated with a better primary symbolization

Full textPromotion of skin repair for acute or chronic wounds through the use of tissue-engineered products is an active field of research. This study evaluates the effects mediated by two types of tissue-engineered biological dressings containing human in vitro-differentiated adipocytes or adipose-derived stromal cells (ASCs). Re-epithelialization, granulation tissue formation and neovascularization of full-thickness cutaneous wounds were specifically assessed using a murine model featuring a fluorescent epidermis. In comparison to wounds that did not receive either type of biological dressings, treated wounds displayed significantly faster wound closure rates. Non-invasive imaging of GFP-expressing keratinocytes determined that wound closure was independent from re-epithelialization mechanisms, while histological assessments of the scar tissues showed thicker granulation tissues enriched in collagens and increased angiogenesis. Taken together, these results establish that engineered substitutes featuring adipocytes or ASCs can promote cutaneous healing when applied as temporary dressings, suggesting their relevance for chronic wound management studies.

Full textOur research deals with the "after cancer" period and aims to study hormonotherapy within the framework of the adjuvating treatment of breast cancer on menopaused women. We tried to estimate the impact of the anti-hormonal treatment on the feeling of cure that women have to make their own, after a breast cancer, to reach a cure on the psychic plan. This qualitative study was led with 17 women who suffered from a breast cancer and are now under adjuvante hormonotherapy. The subject went through semi-directive conversations wich were complemented with a questionnaire of self-assessment of the quality of life. We defined three degrees of feeling of cure (weak, medium and strong) which seem correlated to the actual quality of life of the subjects and to their suffering regarding side effects in the hormonotherapy. So, on one hand, the patients experiencing a weak feeling of cure of a breast cancer are the ones who suffer the most from side effects during the treatment and bear the most damaged quality of life. They seem to feel like they are still patient's and don't seem to be engaged in a process of psychic cure. On the other hand, the patients who are experiencing strong feeling of cure do not show side effects of the treatment ; a psychic elaboration is noticeable in their speeches, and witness the "work of cure" these subjects are going through. Finally, among this population of women already menopaused when the diagnosis was made, we besides noticed that the hormonotherapy could reactivate the menopausic period, especially for subjects who suffered from the experience of menopause

The purpose of this work was: (i) to explore the diversity and the early geneticevolution of the HCV envelope glycoproteins, and the infectivity spectrum of isolated variants and (ii) toanalyze the ability of the autologous neutralizing response to control these variants. We selected two patientswho developed an acute HCV infection. To explore the impact of mutations on infectivity and neutralization,retroviral pseudoparticules were produced with representative E1 and E2 sequences. For the first case, themaximum neutralizing activity was observed in the serum collected between 2 and 3 months post ALT peak,the activity was still detectable after 30 months. For the second case, autologous neutralizing activity wasdetected in every serum collected between 4 days and 13 months after. A gradual increase of neutralizationactivity was observed over time with a maximum 5 to 6 months. We have shown that the neutralizing responsewas detectable at early stages of primoinfection and was sustained beyond the time at which the virus wascleared. These observations raise interesting questions about the role of such antibodies in case of re-exposure

While specialists have been working on this issue with regard to the insertion, adaptation and consumption of these new genres in America, Europe, Asia and Africa, there has been little discussion about the agents who have promoted this movement around the globe: specialized traders - druggists - and their trading companies. This thesis presents an interconnected history between those who provided products for the medical market in Europe and Portuguese America and the ways in which new medicines were introduced by global commerce in the second half of the 18th century. Its main objective is to provide an analytical overview for the understanding of processes that have been mutually global and local, for example: how did an Amerindian medicine become a medicine certified and guaranteed by European or Asian medicine? And how were these products introduced in these circuits and by what market routes?

Full textThe ritual of fachang, or "ritual of Method", is also called da buyun, or "Great Restoration of the Destiny". This ritual is composed of several smaller rituals, and is performed by Northern Taiwan's Red Head Masters. The masters propose this ritual in cases such as serious illness. The ritual is often performed in the home of those who ask for it and it lasts usually between one or two days. Nowadays, the ritual is less and less performed, and is even endangered, because of socio-economic changes. Now, in place of full rituals, masters perform individual, smaller rituals, without musicians, and without going to people's place. This study deals first with the tradition of Red Head Masters in Northern Taiwan, and second on the performance procedure of the rituals themselves. The last part of the thesis is an analysis of the symbolic dimension of the ritual, as well as the role and function of the Red Head Masters in Taiwan's contemporary society
