It stems from the observation that dominant bioethical paradigms, heavily influenced by individualistic and universalist principles rooted in Western culture, are often ill-suited to African societies where communal, spiritual, and tradition-based approaches play a central role. These paradigms, codified in documents such as the Nuremberg Code and the Declaration of Helsinki, struggle to effectively integrate into the Ivorian context, thereby deepening the disconnect between international norms and local practices. This disconnect reflects an epistemic hegemony inherited from colonial structures, underscoring the need to decolonize bioethical discourse. To address this issue, the research employs theoretical tools from postcolonial studies to deconstruct the foundations of Western bioethical paradigms, often perceived as hegemonic, and propose an alternative grounded in Ivorian specificities. The methodological approach follows three interdependent steps: deconstruction, which critiques the universalist biases and limitations of imported bioethical frameworks; disconnection, advocating for conceptual emancipation by emphasizing local sociocultural particularities; and reconstruction, which seeks to develop contextualized bioethics tailored to the community-oriented and spiritual values of Ivorian society, while remaining aligned with global ethical and justice standards. The thesis demonstrates that to be relevant and efficient, Ivorian bioethics must draw on narrative ethics and the ethics of care, which emphasize interpersonal relationships, interdependence, and dialogue. These approaches stand in contrast to the procedural and individualistic ethics prevalent in Western paradigms. Moreover, integrating local values such as Côte d'Ivoire's specific form of secularism, strong religious influence, and communal dynamics is identified as a key driver for enhancing the effectiveness and social acceptability of bioethical practices. This approach reconciles universal ethical imperatives with local particularities, offering an inclusive and innovative model.","abstract_html":"This thesis entitled "From the Decolonization of Bioethics Discourse to an Efficient Ivorian Bioethics" is rooted in a critical reflection aimed at adapting universal bioethical frameworks to the sociocultural realities of Côte d'Ivoire.

Elle part du constat que les paradigmes bioéthiques dominants, fortement influencés par des principes individualistes et universalisants issus de la culture occidentale, sont souvent inadaptés à des sociétés africaines où les approches communautaires, spirituelles et enracinées dans les traditions locales jouent un rôle central. Ces paradigmes, codifiés dans des textes tels que le Code de Nuremberg et la Déclaration d’Helsinki, peinent à s’implanter efficacement dans le contexte ivoirien, exacerbant ainsi une déconnexion entre les normes internationales et les pratiques locales. Ce décalage reflète une hégémonie épistémique héritée des structures coloniales, soulignant la nécessité de décoloniser le discours bioéthique. Pour répondre à cette problématique, la recherche mobilise les outils théoriques des études postcoloniales afin de déconstruire les fondements des paradigmes bioéthiques occidentaux, souvent perçus comme hégémoniques, et de proposer une alternative enracinée dans les spécificités ivoiriennes. La démarche méthodologique repose sur trois étapes : la déconstruction, qui critique les biais universalisants et les limites des cadres bioéthiques importés ; la déconnexion, qui prône une émancipation conceptuelle en valorisant les particularités socioculturelles locales ; et la reconstruction, qui vise à élaborer une bioéthique contextualisée, adaptée aux valeurs communautaires et spirituelles de la société ivoirienne, tout en restant ouverte aux exigences globales en matière d’éthique et de justice. La thèse démontre que pour être pertinente et efficiente, la bioéthique ivoirienne doit s’appuyer sur des approches narratives et sur l’éthique de la sollicitude (care), qui mettent l’accent sur les relations interpersonnelles, l’interdépendance et le dialogue. Ces approches contrastent avec l’éthique procédurale et individualiste qui prédomine dans les paradigmes occidentaux. De plus, l’intégration des valeurs locales, telles que la laïcité spécifique ivoirienne, la forte influence religieuse et les dynamiques communautaires, est identifiée comme un levier essentiel pour renforcer l’efficacité des pratiques bioéthiques et leur acceptabilité sociale.
