Abstract
In November 2023, a chair dedicated to narrative medicine was inaugurated in Bordeaux. This project, co-sponsored by the Bordeaux University Hospital Centre and the University of Bordeaux, aims to take a cross-fonctional approach to this clinical and academic discipline, from initial and continuing training to clinical and scientific work in hospitals.
On the teaching side, the challenge is to train hospital staff and future trainers to develop this new approach to care, which places stories - and patients' stories first and foremost - at its heart. On the hospital side, the aim is to support care teams in taking care of themselves in order to give meaning back to their profession, and to encourage the healthcare system to embrace narrative at a clinical, ethical and epistemological level.
This movement, launched at the end of the 20th century and conceptualized by a multidisciplinary group at Columbia University's medical school in New York, has chosen to combine literary studies and literature to give the care relationship a reflective and sensitive dimension, taking into account the sensations and perceptions (aisthêsis) that are expressed in care relationships, right down to the aesthetics that make up the act of care.
