330   $aA constructivist approach in medical anthropology suggests that the boundary between lies and truth in sickness narratives is thin. Based on fieldwork in the French (Martinique) and English (Saint-Lucia) Carribbean with gade? and quimboiseurs (local folk healers), this paper addresses the gap between nai?ve romanticism and radical cynicism in the anthropological analysis of patient-healer encounters, Is the sick person lying when she accuses evil spirits for her behaviour or sickness ? Is the quimboiseur who is building a meaningful explanation or diagnosis simply a liar taking advantage of his client's credulity ? The challenge for anthropology is not to determine whether or not a person is lying when attributing their ill fortune to witchcraft. Instead, in this paper, the author approaches lying as a language-game played by both patients and folk healers. Concepts of lying as games, tactical lies, pragmatic creativity, and constructive lies are introduced here as a perspective for a reconsideration of lying as a pertinent research object.
