Intended for ethologists and sociologists, this text examines the
problem of defining the "meaning of illness", an interpretation
developed within a society which can itself be studied and
interpreted from without, from a variety of viewpoints depending on
the academic discipline to which observation has been allocated; to
ethnology, for example, the observation of linear-based societies;
to sociology, that of industrial societies. The fact that these
distinctions today are called into question is of little
importance. They encourage a questioning of the relationships
between the respective methods and objectives of the different
disciplines. The local interpretation of illness is one thing, but
it is quite possible that the interpretation of this interpretation
could vary, depending on whether it was the product of different
methods - (anthropological, sociological, historical) or on whether
it was applied to different societies. The situation may become
even more complicated, since the question can always be raised as
to whether types of method and types of society are linked, whether
one type of society implies one type of method.
