  • Summary

    In this contribution I will examine a few aspects of the peculiar temporality of chronic time considered in the light of its pathological dimensions. I will do so by using three different methods and resources and interweaving them: the clinical literature on the topic, conceptual philosophical frameworks, and first-person microphenomenological explicitation interviews. Since chronicity as a scientific theme is quite a virginal issue, such a complex multifaceted approach is required. My inquiry is based on Adochronic, a Research Program I lead at the Université de Rouen Normandie, which investigates three chronic diseases in teenagers: diabetes, anorexia, and schizophrenia. The broad hypothesis of this contribution is to show how chronicity may be less a sheer property of these diseases (among others) than a global transverse pathology with social and civilizational consequences, with these diseases being then in turn local properties of the global pathology.
