| description | This paper questions the status of the individual listed in a therapeutic test designed as a scientific experimentation. From an analysis of a process of a trial carried out in Abidjan on the benefits and risks of an early treatment for HIV-positive patients, the aim is to show how an individual is categorized (medical community/ profession, subjective individual, subject of a test, amongst others), then objectified. The conception of the trial focused on the individual as an object is replaced by the conception of the trial focused on the interactions between, on one side, the virus itself and, on the other side, the individual seen as the virus’ environment of life, or Umwelt. Within this frame, far from being a passive actor, the subject becomes an active member of the experimental system and takes part in his own objectivation. |
