La peste noire dans le Moyen orient

The Black Death in the Middle East 

Michael Walters Dols

Series: Princeton Legacy Library (Book 5353)

Hardcover: 408 pages

Language: English

In the middle of the fourteenth century a devastating epidemic of plague, commonly known in European history as the "Black Death," swept over the Eurasian continent. This book, based principally on Arabic sources, establishes the means of transmission and the chronology of the plague pandemic's advance through the Middle East.

The prolonged reduction of population that began with the Black Death was of fundamental significance to the social and economic history of Egypt and Syria in the later Middle Ages. The epidemic's spread suggests a remarkable destruction of human life in the fourteenth century, and a series of plague recurrences appreciably retarted population growth and the following century and a half, impoverishing Middle Eastern society. Social reactions illustrate the strength of traditional Muslism values and practices, social organization, and cohesiveness. The sudden demographic decline brought about long-term as well as immediate economic adjustments in land values, salaries, and commerce.

Michael W. Dols is Assistant Professor of History at California State University, Hayward.

Le corps et l'environnement construit au 19e siècle

The Body & the Built Environment in the Long Nineteenth Century

Call for papers

Tuesday 25 June 2019

Durham University

The period between 1750 and 1918 is widely acknowledged to have been one of dramatic societal and cultural change, not least in terms of people’s experience of the spaces in which they lived. The unparalleled urbanisation that took place over the course of the long nineteenth century necessitated new ways of existing in increasingly built up environments. The move to such locations demanded new habits, routines, and modes of movement, all of which had a discernible impact on the body. As Elizabeth Grosz points out, ‘through exercise and habitual patterns of movement, through negotiating its environment whether this be rural or urban […] [that] the body is more or less marked, constituted as appropriate, or, as the case may be, an inappropriate body for its cultural requirements’ (1994). Where, for example, the navigation of uneven rural terrain would have strengthened certain muscles, the negotiation of flat, urban streets produced a markedly different body. Beyond the purely muscular level, the countless cultural elements of the nineteenth century city also impacted in numerous ways upon the embodied subject.

This one-day interdisciplinary symposium invites papers that explore how the shifting relationship between the body and the built environment was interrogated in literature and culture of the long nineteenth century. The symposium aims to stimulate academic discussion on a range of topics relating to embodiment and architectural space in the period ranging from 1750-1920. As such, we welcome papers from those working in the fields of Literature, History, Medical Humanities, Geography, Architecture, Philosophy, Film and Media, Psychology, Modern Languages, Gender/Women’s Studies, Law, and Politics.

Paper topics might include, but are not limited to, considerations of: questions of ownership and access; health; urban planning; agoraphobia and other spatially related disorders; sensory perception; the diseased body; policing, surveillance, and public order/disorder; sanitation and pollution; and phenomenological approaches to the body and space.

Potential research questions might include:

- In what ways did the built environment either encourage or preclude access to certain kinds of bodies in the long nineteenth century?

- How was the relationship between the embodied subject and architectural space interrogated in literature and culture of the period?

- What impact did scientific and medical advances in the understanding of the human body have on the construction and/or organisation of the built environment?

Please send abstracts of 250 words for 20-minute papers to: bodybuiltenvironment@gmail.com by 19 April 2019. For further details, visit: http://bodybuiltenvironment.wordpress.com˜

Series: Variorum Collected Studies (Book 1073)

Hardcover: 390 pages

Publisher: Routledge; 1 edition (February 11, 2019)

Language: English

ISBN-13: 978-1472456144

This volume brings together for the first time an updated collection of articles exploring poverty, poor relief, illness, and health care as they intersected in Western Europe, the Mediterranean and the Middle East, during a ‘long’ Middle Ages. It offers a thorough and wide-ranging investigation into the institution of the hospital and the development of medicine and charity, with focuses on the history of music therapy and the history of ideas and perceptions fundamental to psychoanalysis.

The collection is both sequel and complement to Horden’s earlier volume of collected studies, Hospitals and Healing from Antiquity to the Later Middle Ages (2008). It will be welcomed by all those interested in the premodern history of healing and welfare for its breadth of scope and scholarly depth.

Histoires d'eaux

Histoires d'eaux

Genève, Confédération Suisse 

Du 27 au 30 mars 2019

Le Festival Histoire et Cité s’intéresse cette année aux « Histoires d’eaux », du 27 au 31 mars. Conférences, débats, projections de films, présentations de livres, expositions et performances au programme de cette quatrième édition. Jetez-vous à l’eau avec les passionnés d’histoire à Genève, à Lausanne et à Sion!

Faisant la part belle aux réalités locales, sa programmation s’organise autour de cinq axes: H2O (enjeux environnementaux et composition hydrique); La Gouvernance de l’eau (usages juridiques, sociaux, économiques et politiques); Les Peuples de l’eau (communautés humaines à vocation aquatique); L’Imaginaire de l’eau (les représentations, les mythes et les symboles); Eaux de vie, eaux de mort (hygiène, santé, risques et fléaux).

Indispensable à la vie, l’eau a influencé le développement des sociétés humaines, leurs migrations et la manière dont elles se sont pensées. De l’installation des premiers campements paléolithiques à proximité des points d’eau aux rivalités entre peuples pour le contrôle des oasis, des rivières et des ports, des premiers travaux d’irrigation et d’aménagement des fleuves à l’émergence des grandes civilisations, les enjeux aquatiques sont déterminants et toujours d’actualité.

Hippolyte Bernheim (1919-2019) et l’Ecole de Nancy

Hippolyte Bernheim (1919-2019) et l’École de Nancy. Cent ans après, quelle place pour l’hypnose ?

Journée de la Société de Psychiatrie de l’Est 

 

NANCY - 22 mars 2019

Hôtel de Ville, 1 Place Stanislas, 54000 NANCY

 

Il y a cent ans, le 2 février 1919, disparaissait Hippolyte Bernheim et avec lui le chef de fi le de la 1ère École de Nancy dite « École de la suggestion ». Né à Mulhouse en 1840, il suit à Nancy la Faculté de Médecine de Strasbourg en 1872, lors de son transfèrement après l’annexion de l’Alsace par l’Allemagne. Professeur de médecine interne à l’Université de Strasbourg puis de Nancy, Bernheim fait preuve d’audace en introduisant l’hypnose à l’hôpital et à l’université pour en faire un véritable objet scientifique et thérapeutique. Mais il est également un des hommes qui a l’intuition profonde de la psychothérapie. En s’opposant à Charcot, il démontre que l’état hypnotique n’est pas le résultat d’un processus pathologique mais le produit de la suggestion, un processus physiologique accessible à chacun. En développant sa théorie de l’idéo-dynamisme, théorie selon laquelle « toute idée suggérée tend à se faire acte », Bernheim entame une réflexion sur le dialogue entre corps et psychisme, ouverture à la psychosomatique qui intéresse particulièrement Sigmund Freud venu lui rendre visite à Nancy en 1889 avant de se rendre à la Salpêtrière à Paris chez Charcot. En 1891, son ouvrage « Hypnotisme, suggestion et psychothérapie » illustre tout son intérêt pour le processus thérapeutique induit par suggestion, en dehors même de toute transe hypnotique. Il participe alors à consacrer définitivement le terme de psychothérapie.Comprendre le parcours historique de Bernheim, c’est ainsi comprendre comment un phénomène physiologique, l’hypnose, mis au service d’une pratique de soins, devient la base d’une « thérapie de changement ». La pratique actuelle de l’hypnose ne fait pas l’impasse sur un élément fondamental, la relation humaine et trouve, voire retrouve, une place importante tant en psychiatrie que dans des disciplines médicales somatiques. Sur cette base, elle peut contribuer à soigner des pathologies psychiatriques, à l’exemple entre autres de l’anorexie mentale mais trouve aussi toute sa pertinence dans le dialogue entre corps et psychisme, permettant ainsi de maîtriser certains processus douloureux. Ses développements, depuis ces dernières décennies notamment, sont majeurs et interrogent aujourd’hui les modalités de la pratique de l’hypnose au sein de l’hôpital et ce qu’elle sera à l’avenir. Ce sont ces questions qui feront l’objet des travaux de la Journée de printemps de la Société de Psychiatrie de l’Est.

Bourse de doctorat sur l'histoire du British Journal of Anaesthesia

Funded PhD Project "The History of the First 100 Years of the British Journal of Anaesthesia"

Call for applications

Sunday, March 31, 2019 

Project Description
Applications are invited for a fully-funded Doctoral Award, supported by the British Journal of Anaesthesia (BJA), to be held at the Centre for the History of Science, Technology & Medicine, University of Manchester, beginning in September 2019.

The BJA has been central to the development of knowledge and practice of anaesthesia across research and education since 1923. Through the 20th century, the specialty broadened to include new sub-specialities of critical care medicine, pain medicine and perioperative medicine, each creating new scientific, practical and ethical challenges for practitioners. This project offers an opportunity to research and study the history of the BJA against the backdrop of wider changes across medicine, science and society to produce new knowledge of its contributions to research, education and practice. The successful candidate will have access to the previously unused archives of the BJA and the support of an Advisory Group included retired and practising anaesthetists. The project will also incorporate oral history and network analysis as methodologies. Its findings will contribute to ongoing scholarship around the history of translational medicine, global medical networks and interactions between education, training and delivery of health services, which will have significant policy impact.

We require an Upper Second-class honours degree or overseas equivalent in an appropriate discipline, which may include humanities or science subjects and a level of research training that will allow the successful candidate to proceed directly to PhD level studies. For information on how to apply for this project, please visit the Faculty of Biology, Medicine and Health Doctoral Academy website (https://www.bmh.manchester.ac.uk/study/research/apply/).

Specific enquiries about the project, including further details of the academic content, should be addressed to Dr Stephanie Snow, stephanie.snow@manchester.ac.uk


Funding Notes

Fully funded University of Manchester award with British Journal of Anaesthesia. Studentship funding is for a duration of three years to commence in September 2019 and covers UK/EU tuition fees and an annual minimum stipend (£15,009 per annum 2019/20). On the online application form select PhD History of Science, Technology and Medicine.

As an equal opportunities institution we welcome applicants from all sections of the community regardless of gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation and transgender status. All appointments are made on merit.

Histoire de l'esprit infantile

Wunderblock - a new exhibition and symposium on the history of the child's mind at the Freud Museum

6th March - 26th May 2019

https://www.freud.org.uk/exhibitions/wunderblock/

Symposium: 6th April, 9am-12.30pm https://www.freud.org.uk/event/hidden-persuaders-symposium/

Register online. For enquiries about the symposium contact Sarah Marks: s.marks@bbk.ac.uk


Drawing on historical research by the Hidden Persuaders project at Birkbeck, University of London, artist Emma Smith explores how child psychoanalysis and psychiatry sought to influence, understand, and encourage children’s healthy development after World War II. Smith’s artworks and interventions interrogate some of this complex narrative to highlight the hidden history of the child’s influence over the adult world.

Research into infant observation in psychoanalysis, the emergence of child-centred education, and the anti-psychiatry movement, have all been important in the exhibition’s development. So too have ongoing debates over nature and nurture, benign and malign influence over the child. The title Wunderblock comes from Sigmund Freud’s ‘A Note Upon the “Mystic Writing Pad’”. A ‘Wunderblock’ is a toy used by Freud to illustrate the workings of our unconscious, where memories are stored and from where they may re-emerge. In the exhibition, Smith takes this idea and uses it to imagine and uncover the complexity of the child’s mind.

At a time when concern over the mental health and rights of children and young people regularly makes the headlines, Wunderblock aims to provoke debate and reflection. Taking historical research as a starting point, the exhibition and the accompanying events programme encourage you to consider and question your own beliefs in relation to the current status of children in our society.

Wunderblock is curated by Rachel Fleming-Mulford, and is commissioned by Birkbeck College, University of London for the Hidden Persuaders Project, funded by the Wellcome Trust Public Engagement Fund.

Emma Smith is a visual artist based in the UK, who works internationally. She has a social practice and creates public platforms for experimentation, research and action through site-specific events and installations. Smith’s work tests the boundaries of human connectivity: relationship, communication, sense of place and entanglement. Her work looks in particular at hidden forms of connection: the intimate, the transient, the subconscious and the invisible. Previous exhibitions and commissions include Tate Modern, Barbican, Whitechapel Gallery, Bluecoat, Whitworth, ICA and Arnolfini, UK, with international projects across the globe. http://www.emma-smith.com/



The Hidden Persuaders project, based at Birkbeck, University of London, examines ‘brainwashing’ in and after the Cold War, exploring the roles, real and imagined, played by psychologists, psychiatrists and psychoanalysts in this history. It ask how these disciplines pictured tyranny and freedom of mind, were drawn into ‘psy warfare’ and commerce, and were mobilised in social and political critique. http://www.bbk.ac.uk/hiddenpersuaders
