  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.

  From Shore to Shore: Cultural Guides and Conveyors

  Le thème « Passeurs » offre l'opportunité d'explorer la dynamique de la transmission culturelle, littéraire et linguistique dans le domaine de l'anglistique. Le passeur est à la fois un guide et un intermédiaire, entre deux rives ou deux pays, deux cultures, deux générations ou deux langues. Figure mythologique ou biblique traditionnelle, située dans l’entre-deux de l’enfer et du paradis, du monde des vivants et du royaume des morts, il occupe dès son origine un large territoire symbolique et investit l’imaginaire collectif grâce à son pouvoir de sceller le destin des âmes.

  Identités indigènes, autochtones et nationales ?

  Représentations stratégiques, luttes politiques et enjeux épistémologiques

  Sous quelles conditions locales, de quelle manière, par quels acteurs, et avec quels effets symboliques et matériels les discours d’« identité » - « indigène », « autochtone », ou « nationale » - se déploient-ils actuellement dans le cadre plus général du néo-libéralisme et d’une intensification de l’exploitation capitaliste ? A partir d’enquêtes de terrain dans des pays divers, cet atelier s’efforcera d’apporter quelques éléments de réponse à cette question, et s’interrogera également sur le rôle des anthropologues dans la déconstruction et la reproduction des discours identitaires et des contextes dans lesquels ils prennent leur source.
