Richard Pottier starts this interview by talking about the project developed by the WHO (World Health Organization) and its impacts on the Lao health system. He then runs through his three main academic topics: socio-anthropological research on the Lao health system (subject of his thesis); Lao therapeutic practices as seen according to “medical anthropology†(he refined his approach in his work entitled YÛ DÎ MÎ HÈNG); anthropology of myths through an exposé on the limits of structural anthropology (Lévi-Strauss), psychoanalysis (Freud), and narrative semiotics (Greimas). He then presents the hypotheses put forth in his work entitled "Anthropologie du mythe" (Anthropology of Myth) and closes by talking about the questions for future research his work raises.
