| Summary: | Through a qualitative study of websites, the authors seek to understand the evolution of the identity of French hospitals. Considering the difficulty to define the concept of identity, they propose a new interpretative framework of territorial identity around a triptych: imaginary, imaging, and image. They highlight the importance of territorial identity of the hospital structured by three imaginary: first a republican imaginary that is challenged; secondly an imaginary of care, between traditional vision and logic of service; and finally a deterritorialization of traditional identity, so that hospital is out of the world of care.
