  The metamorphoses of State/business relations

  Ce colloque abordera les métamorphoses des relations État-entreprise d'un point de vue anthropologique, privilégiant le long terme et les SHS. État et entreprise seront considérés en priorité comme des institutions (ou des organisations) productrices d'hégémonie culturelle, de valeurs, d'imaginaires, comme l'intérêt général ou l'efficacité. À l'heure de la mondialisation et de la technologisation généralisée, comment évoluent les relations de ces deux grands acteurs qui contribuent à penser la société, voire à livrer une pensée clefs en mains ?

  Questioning self-medication

  A socially and geographically situated bricolage

  Treating oneself is a controversial practice: scorned in the name of the health risks it runs, self-treatment may also be praised in the name of the independence it expresses. The messages of public health authorities are at the heart of the controversy, emphasizing risk one moment and their potential for patient responsibility the next. Such contradictory injunctions also affect the practices of care providers. The conference has chosen to allow comparisons and confrontations between these various disciplinary approaches as well as distinct research field sites (North/South, North/North, South/South). These practices and their determinants have to be more finely mapped and analyzed to put these analyses – by definition always partial, and theoretically, historically, and geographically situated – in perspective.
