The Anatomy Emerging Research Project, or Paré Project, is the occasion for a multidisciplinary meeting initiated in 2016 and financed by Sorbonne Universities (Idex SUPER) around a new object: the Dupuytren anatomo-pathological collection. This project is dedicated to reflections on anatomo-pathological collections and the representation of the disease. The challenge is to enable collaboration between researchers and practitioners from different backgrounds, with an equally specific approach to the disease. While the researcher in the humanities or in literature is primarily interested in the representations and figurations of illnesses and in the hermeneutics of suffering, the hospital practitioner or biology researcher is primarily interested in understanding the causes of illness, in order to be able to treat pain and heal patients.

In short, the "Paré" project is the perfect place for the convergence of views, words and disciplines. Today, a book is being prepared to report on this work, under the direction of Claire Crignon, Julie Cheminaud and Danielle Seilhean. It will include numerous photographs of the collection, taken by Christel Jeanne, thus making a collection accessible that can no longer be consulted as it was when the Dupuytren Museum existed.
