Symposium

Techno*Care / Healthcare Technologies

Situated at the crossroads of sociology of health and sociology of sciences and technologies, the symposium “Techno*Care/Healthcare technologies” aims at questionning the contemporary arrangements linking technological innovation and the practices of care.

The organizers, Benjamin Derbez (CSI-i3 (UMR 9217)-Mines ParisTech), Eric Dagiral (CERLIS, Université Paris-Descartes), Ashveen Peerbaye (LISIS, Université Paris-Est Marne la Vallée) and David Saint-Marc (Centre Emile Durkheim, Université de Bordeaux) propose addressing the issue of Techno-Care using a three-pronged approach:

1. The ambiguities of technological care
2. Evidence-based care  technologies?
3. Technological repair and maintenance of the worlds of care

The symposium is organized within the framework of the RT19 and RT29 of the AFS (the French Sociological Association), in cooperation with the CSI-i3 (UMR 9217)-Mines ParisTech.
