  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.

  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.

  Tourism and disability

  Depuis les années 1970, sous l’impulsion d’un double mouvement comprenant les revendications des associations de défense des droits humains et les avancées législatives constatées à des degrés divers sur la planète, une transformation du regard porté sur les personnes en situation de handicap est visible. De questions mineures ou reléguées aux calendes grecques, les thématiques liées aux handicaps deviennent centrales dans les agendas socio-politiques et constituent des analyseurs de l’état de démocratisation des sociétés contemporaines (Henry-Jacques Stiker). Ainsi, dans le cadre de la participation sociale, l’accès aux loisirs et au tourisme pour les personnes en situation de handicap est un enjeu majeur, notamment consacré en droit à l’échelle internationale en 2006 par la Convention des Nations Unies sur le Handicap.
