Abstract
Abstract:Le présent article, fondé sur l’examen des dossiers de patients de plusieurs asiles français dans la seconde moitié du XIXe siècle, étudie les conflits intrafamiliaux suscités par les internements à l’asile. Loin de constituer un bloc uni, les proches ont quelquefois des intérêts et des avis divergents quant à la conduite à tenir vis-à-vis de l’internée ou l’interné. Si les conflits peuvent se cristalliser autour d’enjeux financiers, ils mettent aussi en jeu des lectures profanes de la maladie et des « théories diagnostiques » opposées. En arbitrant ces conflits, les médecins aliénistes participent à la construction des normes familiales et des frontières de la famille légitime au XIXe siècle.Abstract:This article, which is based on an analysis of patient files from several French asylums in the second half of the nineteenth century, explores family disputes that arose during internment. Far from constituting a united front, relatives sometimes had divergent opinions and interests regarding what to do with the internee. While conflicts may have revolved around financial matters, they also reveal lay interpretations and contradictory “diagnostic theories” of the illnesses. By mediating these conflicts, “alienist” physicians participated in the construction of family norms and in establishing the boundaries of what constituted the legitimate family in nineteenth-century France.
