Résumé
Cet article se base sur une étude ethnographique réalisée dans un hôpital du Bangladesh. Il existe très peu d’exemples d’ethnographies réalisées en contexte médical dans des pays non occidentaux, et aucun au Bangladesh. Cette recherche a démontré que, contrairement à l’universalisme supposé de la biomédecine, la pratique biomédicale est en fait le produit de conditions sociales particulières, et que l’hôpital dans laquelle elle se déroule reflète les caractéristiques de la société à laquelle il appartient. L’étude a mis en évidence qu’un hôpital du Bangladesh constitue un microcosme de ce pays, et illustre les dimensions humaines de la pratique médicale dans ce pays pauvre où la violence physique et structurelle est quotidienne. J’avance que, loin d’être une île coupée du reste de la société, l’hôpital devrait être considéré comme la capitale du continent.

Abstract
This paper is based on an ethnographic study that was conducted in a Bangladeshi hospital. There are very few examples of ethnographies in medical settings from non-Western countries and none from Bangladesh. The research shows that in contrast to the assumed universalism in biomedicine, biomedical practice is in fact a product of particular social conditions, and the hospital in which it takes place reflects the features of the society in which it is embedded. The study revealed how a Bangladeshi hospital is a microcosm of Bangladesh and illustrates the human dimensions of medical practice in a low-income country characterized by daily physical and structural violence. I argue that far from being an island separate from the rest of the society, hospital should be viewed as the capital of the mainland.

Resumen
Este artículo se basa en un estudio etnográfico realizado en un hospital de Bangladesh. Hay pocos ejemplos de etnografías realizadas en contexto médico en los países no occidentales y ninguno en Bangladesh. Esta investigación demostró que, contrariamente al supuesto universalismo de la biomedicina, la práctica médica es un producto de condiciones sociales particulares y que el hospital en donde se llevan a cabo refleja las características de la sociedad a la que pertenece. Este estudio muestra la manera en que un hospital de Bangladesh se revela como un microcosmos de ese país e ilustra las dimensiones humanas de la práctica médica en un país pobre en donde la violencia física y estructural es cotidiana. Sostengo que, lejos de ser una isla aislada del resto de la sociedad, el hospital debería ser considerado como la capital continental.
