Abstract :
[en] In this presentation, I suggest studying "the meetings" for themselves, by considering them as a topic for research and not as tool for doing researches on other topics as problem-solving and policy-making. By drawing on a sociological research on a Belgian reform of mental healthcare delivery, I argue that the concept of bracketing might be used to identify the forms and to analyse the various roles played by meetings, or what the meetings do to the organisational and policy work.
