| Sumario: | In response to an increasingly specialized, technologized and scientificist clinical practice, medicine and bioethics seek to restore the protagonism of the patient's experience. To this end, an increasing number of sectors within medicine and bioethics are adopting a theoretical framework from the hermeneutic tradition or the narrative turn. Physiological symptoms and laboratory results are no longer interpreted alone: by incorporating the patient's voice, the aim is to consider the patient as a whole, as a text to be understood. However, the heterogeneous reception of these perspectives hinders the feedback between theories. Those that emphasize the narrative aspect reveal an underlying dualism between the body and the patient, the technical and interlocutive capacities of professionals, and the scientific and the narratable, and those that emphasize the hermeneutic aspect have inconveniences when it comes to arguing for the application of theory to life. In this paper, it is argued that the rhetorical dimension needs to be incorporated into the hermeneutic-narrative theoretical horizon in medicine and bioethics. It is hoped that this paper will constitute a contribution to the “unsaid” in the definitions that health specialists use of narrative, hermeneutics and, of course, text. |
