*Short Abstract*
This panel will bring a critical reflection on self-management of chronic
disease from a variety of theoretical, methodological and epistemological
lenses. Both empowerment and autonomy as medical concepts and chronic
disease as form of living will be theoretically and empirically addressed.
*Long Abstract*
In past decades, chronic diseases have become a salient social, political
and healthcare issue. Empowerment, autonomy and self-management have been
defined as medical priorities for the Therapeutic Education (TE) of people
living with chronic disease. Mobilising heterogeneous knowledge, including
lay and medical notions and skills, and interacting with a large variety of
healthcare professionals and other supporting actors (relatives, friends,
patients, etc.) characterise the way people living with chronic disease
cope with their condition.
This panel aims at bringing a critical reflection on this crucial topic of
research from a socio-anthropological perspective including a variety of
theoretical, methodological and epistemological lenses. It also aims at
discussing the possible contribution of ethnographic and qualitative
approaches to chronic disease management when confronted to mainstream
medical discourses and practices on TE, empowerment, autonomy and
self-management. This panel will raise questions about chronic disease as a
form of living with particular symbolic and material practices and
resources. Do different types of chronic diseases need different
approaches, analyses and appraisals from Social Sciences (e.g. Medical
Anthropology, Science and Technology Studies, Sociology of Health and
Illness)? How knowledge about self-management is produced and circulates
through the broad health and social networks in which people living with
chronic disease are embedded? What kind of knowledge is at stake? Which are
the symbolic and material resources they mobilise and how do they use them?
This panel intends to put together original empirical or theoretical
contributions tackling these questions (although it is not limited to them).
