Topic Specific Condition & Disabilities
Main Speaker Jean Michel WIROTIUS France

Medicine dedicated to disability has known two periods, that of before 1980 (first classification of disabilities) and that of after 1980 with the constant development of its academic development in the world and by the ever-increasing number of scientific publications. This journey is both spectacular by its gushing and militant aspect in all the countries of the world and striking, by offering a major turning point in the representations, in another reading that has become essential, of the sick man. To understand this new reading of clinical situations, it was necessary to take a long cultural journey, because rehabilitation is not only one more field for health, a sort of zoom of cultural zones already known to doctors, it actually opens up another way of analyzing pathological situations. It is not a focus on a language already known, it is another language. But how to define this other language, which is not soluble in common medical semiology. If we are surrounded by books and teachings that detail common medical semiology, it is not the same for rehabilitation, which while being aware that its clinical reading is different struggled to understand its mechanisms and springs and to offer an explicit description, to ensure its dissemination, its understanding, its improvement. This search for a formalized description of semiology in Rehabilitation was the subject of a long journey supported by two university periods, first in the linguistics department of the University Pars V, then within the Linguistics department of the University of Limoges and the Center for Semiotic Research (CERES). The consequences of this complex work will mainly aim to simplify, to schematize this research to make it accessible to all, transmissible and teachable to students, without needing theoretical knowledge of linguistics and semiotics.
