"In this study the history of anthropology has been divided into three phases: building the scientific foundation of the discipline, patching the cracks that eventually emerged, and demolition and reconstruction - essentially knocking down the original foundation and starting over again. The first phase began in the late part of the nineteenth century and ended in the 1950s, when the colonial world began to disintegrate. The second phase centred around the 1960s, as new theories sprang up and methods were refined in order to cope with doubts that a scientific study of culture had been established, and with the recognition that change and conflict were as prevalent as stability and harmony. The third phase began in the 1970s and continues today, dominated by postmodernism and feminist anthropology. One of my central arguments will be that beginning in phase two, and growing rapidly during phase three, a gap has emerged between our theories and our methods. For most of the history of anthropology, our methods have talked the language of science. In recent decades, however, our theories have repudiated science, in the process pushing us ever closer to the humanities."--Jacket

La consommation et le rangement des médicaments par les patients dans l'espace domestique témoignent d'une relation à soi, à son corps et à l'Autre. A travers l'étude des pratiques individuelles et familiales relatives à la consommation médicamenteuse et à la disposition des médicaments dans l'espace domestique, observées dans des familles d'origines catholique et protestante, cet article montre que ces pratiques ne sont pas le résultat d'un choix personnel. Elles sont socialement construites et cette construction diffère selon l'appartenance culturelle des patients. En outre, l'auteur tente de découvrir les logiques symboliques qui sous-tendent ces pratiques et met au jour les oppositions structurelles privé/public et individuel/collectif autour desquelles elles s'organisent. The consumption and arrangement of medicines by patients in domestic space testify to a relation to oneself, to its body and to the other. Through the study of individual and family practices relating to pharmaceutical consumption and to the disposal of medicines in domestic space, observed in families of Catholic and Protestant origins, this article shows that these practices are not the result of a personal choice. They are socially constructed and this construction varies according to the cultural belonging of the patients. Moreover, the author tries to discover the symbolic logics which underlie these practices and brings to light the structural oppositions (private/public ; individual/collective) around which they settle.
