[Sharing space/time among hospitalized patients].
By means of a comprehensive approach and based on the theoretical framework stemming from the studies of Michel Maffesoli, we attempted to understand the sharing dimension existing among ill people during hospitalization. Through interviews and observation, we were able to apprehend that, in spite of all the standardization of hospitalization, people weave a relational web and engender a "destination community" within the hospital.
