“…The principle of resemblance between caregiver and cared-for is not without its ambiguities and contradictions. Medical authority has long based its legitimacy, as Renaut (2004: 252) notes, “on the knowledge of some and the ignorance of others” – in other words, on a sociocultural distance. But this distance is shrinking.…”

The ontological turn in anthropology renews the questioning of otherness by being attentive to the diversity of conceptions of the world and phenomenological relations to the world. Descola’s model has become an essential part of this theoretical movement. It distinguishes three ontologies other than the one currently dominant in the West. While he admits the possibility of their expression in the ordinary lives of Westerners, it is only in a fleeting mode. Drawing on the model of cognitive polyphasia, extended here to ontologies, and using alternative and complementary medicine as its ethnographic terrain, this research shows that these other ontologies can profoundly organize experiences. Consumers can inhabit worlds other than the dominant one. They may inhabit several worlds (e.g. animist and naturalist) hybridizing them or not. They may draw highly variable boundaries between humans and nonhumans (both interpersonal and intrapersonal). Various theoretical and operational implications for marketing are outlined.

“…Le principe de ressemblance signalé plus avant, entre soignant et soigné, n’est pas sans ambiguïtés et contradictions. L’autorité médicale a longtemps fondé sa légitimité, comme le note Renaut (2004 : 252), « sur la connaissance des uns et l’ignorance des autres » – autrement dit, sur une distance socio-culturelle. Or, celle-ci se réduit.…”

Résumé Le tournant ontologique en anthropologie renouvelle le questionnement de l’altérité, en étant attentif à la diversité des conceptions du monde et des relations phénoménologiques au monde. Le modèle de Descola s’est imposé dans ce mouvement théorique. Il distingue trois ontologies autres que celle actuellement dominante en Occident. S’il admet la possibilité de leur expression dans les vécus ordinaires des Occidentaux, ce n’est cependant que sur un mode fugace. En s’appuyant sur le modèle de la polyphasie cognitive, étendue ici aux ontologies, et en retenant les médecines alternatives et complémentaires comme terrain ethnographique, cette recherche montre que ces ontologies autres peuvent organiser profondément des vécus. Des consommateurs peuvent habiter d’autres mondes que celui dominant. Ils peuvent habiter plusieurs mondes (e.g., animiste et naturaliste), en les hybridant ou non. Ils peuvent tracer entre humains et non-humains des frontières très variables (tant au plan interpersonnel qu’au plan intrapersonnel). Diverses implications théoriques et opérationnelles pour le marketing sont exposées.

Background Dignity is omnipresent in Western ethics, but it also provokes dissension and controversy. One of the most striking examples is the debate on medically assisted death, where dignity is invoked to support antagonistic positions. While some authors conclude that the concept is useless as an ethical reference, many others invite us to deepen our analysis from a multidimensional perspective, to enrich it and make it useful. This scoping study is intended to provide an overview of the different conceptions of dignity used in the assisted dying debate, to better grasp the multiple facets of the concept. Methods The Joanna Briggs Institute's JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis guided the scoping review. Key words were based on the researchers' expertise and were used to identify relevant literature in French and English. Eleven databases covering the last six decades were consulted. Initially, 2,071 references were found in the databases. After excluding duplicates, screening titles, abstracts, and full texts, and after a specific literature search on the concept of relational dignity, 156 papers were found to match the identified inclusion criteria. Results The literature highlights the stark confrontation between two dominant conceptions of dignity: ontological and autonomist. However, a lesser-known conceptualization of dignity integrates these two perspectives, underlining the relational and social dimensions of dignity. As a result, dignity emerges as a dynamic, experiential, and dialogical concept, that modulates itself according to circumstances. This raises the possibility of breaking through the binary debate and questioning the current frameworks that define dignity. Conclusions This multidimensional conceptualization of dignity could lead to a more complete and nuanced understanding of the concept, as well as open richer normative horizons regarding the issue of medically assisted death.
