Variations of the social: some reflections on public health, social research and the health-society relation

Abstract: The idea of a social dimension of health is widely accepted as unavoidable and relevant for public health. This article proposes a reflection around the notion of the social examining some of the manifold ways in which it might be inherited by researchers, professionals, administrative staff and material settings involved in the practices of public health care. It will be argued that this inheritance has deep consequences for efforts of care inasmuch these different versions of the social characterise, circums… Show more

“…1 Discussion about the role and position of the social sciences is trite to biomedical/social science collaborations and even date right back to the first meeting of the British Sociological Association (BSA) conference in 1953 (Reid, 1976). HIV medicine constitutes one of the latest parts of this long tradition but is a good example to use here as a gauge of where the debate has come as the HIV epidemic is younger than debates between social medicine and the sociology of medicine, and the social sciences have been at the forefront throughout the span of the epidemic but with no clear consensus on its weight or usage.…”

“…However, isolating the social, cultural or political into separate spheres or domains is difficult to place and locate so convincingly (Rosengarten, 2009). According to modern developments in social thinking, exactly which conception of the 'social', of the many utilised in medicine, is being alluded to (Rojas, 2015). Some difficulties of defining 'the social' are already accounted for in the IAS.…”

“…Dichos pacientes son reconocidos por su alta demanda de exámenes, procedimientos y consultas, las que se anudan en torno a entidades biomédicas y enfermedades muy diversas, que van desde cefaleas y vómi-tos recurrentes hasta síndromes de carácter funcional y "psicológico" o "mental", sobre los cuales recae la sospecha de no tratarse de enfermedades propiamente tales (Fagalde et al, 2012;Miranda y Saffie, 2014;Rojas, 2015).…”

“…En el caso de salud y bio -medicina, por ejemplo, esto implicaría redirigir la crítica desde una deconstrucción exclusiva de las relaciones de poder, económicas y de género que "determinan" el ejercicio de las profesiones de la salud, o bien el rescate de la "subjetividad" o "perspectiva" del paciente como algo contrapuesto a lo biomédico. La idea sería trabajar más bien en pro del análisis de cómo estos asuntos se juegan cotidianamente, en detalle, imbricán-dose junto a otros tales como el cuerpo, la enfermedad misma con sus agentes biológi-cos y químicos, la organización institucional y material de la salud, etc., y hacia una descripción de cómo éstos participan de ciertos arreglos contingentes y abiertos a la crítica, pero no por ello mero efecto de las relaciones e intereses humanos (Rojas, 2015).…”
