Résonances artistiques pour la santé

Thinking about the relationship between arts, sociology, health and ethics invites us to open the doors of the subjects to find out where they connect and the common links between them towards an interdisciplinary thought. Above all, however, we may ask ourselves how the obvious correspondences between knowledge as a complex and diverse reality have been lost to an even more specialized knowledge. Today, these questions of ethics, art and social dimension in health invite us to come together. Gathering around different notions which connect us - accompaniment, health, otherness, vulnerability - and which demonstrate the complexity and the wealth of living together. This reflection is carried out within the framework of the Research Group on Arts, Health and Ethics (GRASE, Laboratory of Ethics and Medical Law, Paris Descartes V), researchers who met spontaneously around these themes to rediscover these links and initiate an interdisciplinary research path. We will thus be interested in the ethical and aesthetic dimension, from a sociological perspective, which raises questions in these actions of accompanying and meeting otherness and towards a collective health. Certainly, living together which is at the heart of our thoughts, all the more so now, highlights a fragile social health; stressing in fact that it is not only singular but especially collective. We will be able to question the place taken by these questions in health training; such as the medicine, which will show that we need to rethink how we relate to others. Alterity that is not only the other but also nature, mystery, the environment, all that surrounds us and with which we deploy our daily life. Thus, this relationship between aesthetic and social opens the dialogue between various fields that leads us in a common journey.
