Le philosophe Michel Foucault a mis en doute les certitudes du public sur le concept de maladie mentale et a aliment&eacute; des d&eacute;cennies de d&eacute;bat sur le relativisme et ses effets. Les id&eacute;es de Foucault se r&eacute;v&egrave;lent encore plus pr&eacute;cieuses aujourd&rsquo;hui, car les nouveaux m&eacute;dias ont pouss&eacute; les choses plus loin que nous n&#39;aurions pu le supposer il y a quatre d&eacute;cennies. De nombreuses personnes &eacute;tablissent leur propre diagnostic en suivant les sources du Web, en achetant leurs m&eacute;dicaments en ligne et en d&eacute;cidant le moment o&ugrave; ils doivent arr&ecirc;ter le traitement. Il y a sur Internet des tribus favorables ou oppos&eacute;es &agrave; la vaccination, &agrave; l&#39;utilisation d&rsquo;un m&eacute;dicament ou &agrave; une proc&eacute;dure m&eacute;dicale. La plupart du temps, ces tribus m&egrave;nent une lutte lointaine, mais cette lutte a finalement un impact concret sur la vie des individus et des communaut&eacute;s. Mon article analyse, &agrave; partir de quelques cas concrets, la mani&egrave;re dont le concept de patient est r&eacute;interpr&eacute;t&eacute; et red&eacute;fini &agrave; travers du contenu publi&eacute; sur les sites Web roumains dans le domaine m&eacute;dical. Si, jusqu&#39;&agrave; r&eacute;cemment, nous recherchions les contours du patient et ses comportements dans les encyclop&eacute;dies m&eacute;dicales officielles, ces limites ont aujourd&rsquo;hui perdu de leur coh&eacute;rence et une grande partie du public construit une image de ce que signifie &ecirc;tre patient en suivant le flux d&#39;informations diffus&eacute; sur les sites. Il est presque inutile d&#39;ajouter que le public est souvent appel&eacute; &agrave; traiter des informations contradictoires.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify; margin-bottom:14px"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif"><b><span lang="EN-GB" new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times="">Abstract</span></b><span lang="EN-GB" new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times="">: With the development of new media, a whole series of theoretical entities that we generally consider well established have proved particularly permeable. The philosopher Michel Foucault questioned the public&#39;s certainty about the concept of mental illness and has fuelled decades of debate about relativism and its effects. Foucault&rsquo;s ideas are even more valuable today because new media have pushed things further than we could have supposed four decades ago. Many people make their own diagnosis by following the Web&rsquo;s sources, buying their medications online and deciding when to stop treatment. There are tribes on the Internet that are favorable or opposed to vaccination, the use of a drug or a medical procedure. Most of the time these tribes fight a distant battle, but this struggle ultimately has a concrete impact on the lives of individuals and communities. My article analyses, from a few concrete cases, how the concept of patient is reinterpreted and redefined through content published on Romanian websites in the medical field. Although, until recently, we have been researching the contours of the patient and his behavior in official medical encyclopaedias, these limits have now lost their coherence and a large part of the public constructs a picture of what it means to be patient by following the flow of information disseminated on the sites. It is almost pointless to add that the public is often called upon to handle conflicting information.</span></span></span></span></p> <p style="text-align:justify; margin-bottom:14px"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:115%"><span style="font-family:Calibri, sans-serif"><b><span lang="EN-GB" new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times="">Keywords: </span></b><span lang="EN-GB" new="" roman="" style="font-family:" times="">patient, datafication, E-health, medical humanities</span></span></span></span></p> <div> <div id="edn31">&nbsp;</div> </div>
