Democratie sanitaire, democratie en sante, empowerment des malades : quels que soient les vocables utilises, la participation des patients semble admise. D'objets de soins, ils seraient enfin reconnus par les institutions comme citoyens a part entiere, sujets conscients, responsables et capables. Un tel consensus est a interroger. L'histoire tumultueuse de la democratie sanitaire est faite de conflits, de compromis, de victoires et d'echecs. Contrairement aux idees recues, elle ne commence pas aux annees sida. Des le XIXe siecle les malades ont combattu pour etre entendus. Ils se sont organises et ont ete actifs. Comment ont-ils contribue a impulser une dynamique democratique ? Sous quelles formes se developpe-t-elle actuellement ? Quelles sont les ambiguites des dispositifs institutionnels contemporains ?Alors que nous avons celebre les 20 ans de la loi sur les droits des malades, les difficultes du passe aident a comprendre les tensions persistantes du present. Par cette mise en perspective completee par une enquete de terrain en milieu hospitalier, Lucile Sergent pose un regard neuf sur le rapport des citoyens au systeme de sante. Elle propose de nouvelles ressources et un outillage pour penser la participation des malades et les politiques mises en ¿uvre.
