Old Tensions, emerging paradoxes in health

European Society for Health and Medical Sociology 17th biennial conference

The positive effect of comprehensive health systems on health outcomes, economic growth and well-being is generally acknowledged, just as of representative policies, scientific-based decisions and trust relationships on social cohesion and respect for political and civil rights in health. Not surprisingly, health policies have become more aligned with the needs of different social groups (e.g. migrants, ethnic minorities, women, LGBT) and of specific medical conditions (e.g. HIV, mental and age-related diseases). Regulators interfere more and more in professional work models and decisions to better control health systems performance and to enhance transparency, but so do empowered citizens in the defence of their rights as patients.

Gender and civil state - personal identity and social relations

Ces journées d’étude analyseront l’état civil comme une institution sociale complexe, à la fois outil d’identification des individus dans une perspective de police sociale et instance d’affiliation des personnes à la société dans une perspective plus anthropologique. Considéré d’un côté comme une preuve de l’état des personnes à vocation publique, et de l’autre comme un « conservatoire de la vie civile » relevant éminemment de la vie privée de chacun, l’état civil est composite : tout ce qu’il conserve n’a pas vocation à être accessible aux tiers, d’autant plus qu’il se modifie tout au long du parcours biographique, de la naissance à la mort. Ainsi, l’état civil est à la fois un élément constitutif de l’identité individuelle et une institution d’organisation des relations sociales.

Mother Figures and Representations of Motherhood, Contemporary Perspectives

This conference aims to question the various ways in which motherhood is judged, how political choices are translated into cultural representations of mothers as either icons or scapegoats, and how these representations are received and challenged in a quest for either conformity or agency.
