Faults and flaws in therapeutic practices in South Asia
Home > News
The French Institute of Pondicherry and the Centre for Indian and South Asian Studies (CNRS-EHESS), Paris, associated themselves to organise from March 7 to 9, an international symposium on the theme of faults and flaws in therapeutic practices in South Asia. The transversal programme “Democratic mutations” of the French Research Institutes Abroad (IFRE) and the Nomad Research Unit, participated in the funding of this event.
A group of specialists thus met in order to study issues related to social and medical legitimacy, through an “in negative” approach that favoured the analysis of everything that is considered as contrary to the rules, values and codes of conduct. The issue of faults and flaws within therapeutic practices, has initiated a large pool of thought concerning the relation between lie and truth, mistake and correctness, fraud and authenticity, legality and illegality, orthodoxy and heterodoxy.
The results will figure in a special edition of an international journal.
