  Chronic illness in the South

  Experience, knowledge and policy on the fringes of global health

  Ce numéro thématique interroge le phénomène social particulier qu’est la maladie chronique en prenant en considération des contextes extrêmement variés. Il ne s’agit pas d’un « sud » considéré comme homogène, mais de situations qui sont traversées par des contextes et des enjeux diversifiés qu’il sera nécessaire de préciser afin de comprendre en quoi et comment le statut « négligé » des maladies chroniques affecte les sujets malades. L’objectif est d’appréhender les formes et temporalités de la maladie chronique en partant du constat d’une certaine « négligence » dans l’agenda de la santé globale, impliquant des manques d’infrastructures, de savoirs et de visibilité.

  Questioning current stakes of pharmaceuticals in Africa

  We wish to discuss the multiple stakes surrounding pharmaceuticals in Africa today, with particular consideration of their markets, the political and economic actors which they mobilize, related instruments of regulation, control and competition, modes of health care in which they are placed, and finally their modes of consumption by individuals, without losing sight of the adaptation of "traditional medicines" to the evolution of economic models. Regulation, with its broad sense of norms actually at play, legislative, biomedical, technical and commercial, seems to transverse these various questions and will thus be widely considered. We anticipate proposals based on current research for presentation on the seven themes outlined below. Submissions can come from the various social sciences (anthropology, sociology, law, history, economy, geography, political sciences), as well as from biomedical and pharmaceutical sciences. Although Africa is central to this discourse, presentations of studies from other continents will be considered with the aim of drawing links with Africa and enriching the discourse with current situations in African countries.
