STandeX

STandeX : Standard Exchanges Programme

Le 6 et 7 décembre prochain au DHVS (Institut d’Anatomie Pathologique, Université de Strasbourg)

Standardisation is omnipresent in communication, production, negotiation, and trade between partners. The means and processes of standardisation have been explored in industrial production and the manufacturing of large quantities, in the development of state health administrations and drug regulations, and in changes in therapeutic and bedside practices.

This workshop will be centred on an exchange between historians, economists, political scientists and sociologists. The goal is to strengthen historical observations and examinations of standards by confronting diverging interpretations of standards, standardization and parallel entities, such as routines, norms and codes. We herein bring together studies that link the concept of standardization to a larger history of health and medicine, studies those that take a theoretically inspired approach of the relationship of standardization in economy and science, as well as contributions that look to apply, criticize or explore these concepts with regard to pharmaceuticals and history of drugs.
