Paper long abstract:
The film Victory! Infertility Healed! (2015, 28mn) speaks about alternatives to state powers and biomedical authority. Healing, and more specially infertility healing, is now a globalized market, even in African States. I propose to discuss the origin of the film (a research in medical anthropology) and its final structure (cinematography, sound track composition, etc.). One goal is to show different ways used by African healers to communicate about their job.
