Vers une pharmaceuticalsiation de la société? Le médicament comme objet social

At the moment when the drug goes beyond national borders and those of therapeutic medicine, it is essential to question the new social spaces whose limits it redefines. This book presents the social effects of the drug from the interference and displacement of three of these borders, between normal and pathological, between social inclusion and social exclusion, between nature and culture.

The extension of the pharmaceutical field has been achieved in a novel way globally by the diffusion of drugs and clinical trials, but also on the more daily and individual levels of social life: work, sexual relations, academic success. The broadening of drug use and non-medical use now show that the drug is not controlled solely by medical control. The term "pharmaceuticalisation" refers precisely to the way in which moments of life become opportunities for the pharmaceutical industry.

However, as the contributions of this book show, the drug is more complex than a simple pharmaceutical object. It is more particularly analyzed in this book as an object allowing to evolve not only the borders of normal and pathological, but also those of inclusion and social exclusion, without necessarily going through the medical power. The technological evolution of recent years and the material effects of the drug also invite us to study how it contributes to the evolution of the frontier between nature and culture. The texts gathered in this book, from anthropology, history and sociology, present these new frontiers of medicine as a social object in societies in the North or the South, based on problems related to mental health, Tobacco, HIV, or cholesterol.
