Abstract EN:
Today, there is, in our society, several resolution methods of the illness. The using consecrated the difference through the concord of the number. There is the official medicine and the different medicines. The interrelations between the medical institution, the political authorities, the researchers and the public put on, usually, the form of a conflict that seems to set the person against the society and minorities against the majority. The compromise that results from it is at the image of the development if the reflexion forms and behaviour, induced by the innovations and their transition from scientific speeches to common sense knowledge. The communication phenomenons fill a large place in the game of mutual influences that subtends the relations between the individual and the collective noun of the medical ground and problems of health. From this point of view, the coexistence with different medical practices appears as an active phenomenon answering at the actualization of common sense knowledges compared with the innovations.

Il existe aujourd'hui, dans notre societe, plusieurs modes de resolution de la maladie. L'usage a consacre la difference a travers la regle de l'accord du nombre. Il y a la medecine officielle et les medecines differentes. Les interelations entre l'institution medicale, les instances politiques, les chercheurs et le public prennent, le plus souvent, la forme d'un conflit qui semble opposer l'individu a la societe et les minorites a la majorite. Le compromis qui en resulte est a l'image de l'evolution des formes de reflexion et de comportement induites par les innovations et leur passage du discours scientifique au savoir de sens commun. Les phenomenes de communication occupent une large place dans le jeu d'influences reciproques qui sous-tend les rapports entre l'individuel et le collectif sur le terrain de la medecine et des problemes de sante. Dans cette perspective, la coexistence de pratiques medicales differentes apparait comme un phenomene actif repondant a l'actualisation des connaissances de sens commun confrontees aux innovations.
