Resumo(s)
This article seeks to capture variations and tensions in the relationships between the health–
illness–medicine complex and society. It presents several theoretical reconstructions, established
theses and arguments are reassessed and criticized, known perspectives are realigned according to a
new theorizing narrative, and some new notions are proposed. In the first part, we argue that relations
between the medical complex and society are neither formal–abstract nor historically necessary. In the
second part, we take the concept of medicalization and the development of medicalization critique as
an important example of the difficult coalescence between health and society, but also as an alternative
to guide the treatment of these relationships. Returning to the medicalization studies, we suggest
a new synthesis, reconceptualizing it as a set of modalities, including medical imperialism. In the
third part, we endorse replacing a profession-based approach to medicalization with a knowledgebased approach. However, we argue that such an approach should include varieties of sociological
knowledge. In this context, we propose an enlarged knowledge-based orientation for standardizing
the relationships between the health–illness–medicine complex and society.
