8e congrès de la société asiatique d'histoire de la médecine

Medicine and Modernity in Asia

The Eight Meeting of the Asian Society for the History of Medicine


September 30- October 1, 2016
IHP, Aacademia Sinica, Taiwan

http://idv.sinica.edu.tw/hygiene/index.html


Medicine has played a crucial role in constituting modernity. The history of the establishment of modern medicine and the emergence of modernity involved not only encounters with Western medicine that were often accompanied by imperialism and colonialism but also reformed traditional practice and the recovery of medical heritage in response to the challenge of modern biomedicine. It also raises the questions regarding whether there was an “alternative” modernity in the flourishing and innovative medical cultures of various Asian countries during the early modern period. The conference intends to explore this rich and complex history.

Le corps humain dans l'histoire

This Mortal Coil: The Human Body in History and Culture

Fay Bound Alberti

Hardcover: 304 pages
Publisher: Oxford University Press; 1 edition (July 25, 2016)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0199793395
ISBN-13: 978-0199793396

How humans have felt and thought about the body-our bodies-has never been static. Rather, it has shifted across times and cultures, taking and losing definition due to any number of forces and trends-philosophical, religious, cultural, technological. Sometimes we imagine our identity purely as an extension of our fleshly self and its assemblage of functions, organs, and appendages, sometimes as something entirely separate and discrete-trapped as opposed to defined by our "mortal coil," as Hamlet frames it in his famous soliloquy. So, too, over time, our ideas about what constitutes the desirable, the healthy, the beautiful, and the whole have remained partial, each an impression formed by its particular moment in time.

In this probing and illuminating new book, Fay Bound Alberti deploys the global histories of medicine, pathology, and sensibilities to examine our changing notions of the human body. Each chapter focuses on one part-bones, skin, sexual organs, spine, tongue, heart-revealing the cultural meanings tied to each, the repercussions of these associations, and ultimately the harm that comes of distinguishing mind and body, the parts from the whole, as is so often the case in Western medicine. 

This Mortal Coil explores many enduring themes: the nature of identity, the relationship between the brain and the heart, and the gendering of our physical and emotional selves. Moving beyond the surface and down to what lies beneath, Bound Alberti provides a rich and fascinating account of the human body, shedding light on the role scientific developments-from medical care to plastic surgery to cloning-play in how we look at and shape ourselves. Bound Alberti's provocative and engrossing book reveals how the mortal coil can be unwound, then looked at as if for the first time.

Médecine et migration

Medicine and Migration

Call for papers

Upcoming REMEDIA series

We are currently accepting submissions for a series on the theme of ‘Migration’ in the history of medicine. The pieces we choose will imaginatively and rigorously tackle topics including (but by no means limited to) the challenges of moving populations in the sphere of public health; notions of risk, prevention, contamination and containment; impact of wars and natural disasters on medical aid provision; differences in health-seeking behaviors between cultures; patterns of migration among healthcare professionals; the ethical and legal challenges of migrants seeking clinical attention; the influence of international organizations in shaping global health policies for migrants; vaccination, screening and the ways in which epidemics and pandemics are tethered to particular groups of people as they move across the globe.

We welcome papers from colleagues working in history, history of medicine and science, anthropology and elsewhere in the humanities. There are no restrictions to particular geographical locations or historical time periods. If you are interested in contributing to REMEDIA, for this themed series or to showcase your research on another subject, please send an email to Lisa Haushofer and Kate Womersley at remedianetwork@gmail.com with an abstract of c.200 words outlining your proposed topic by 1st October 2016.

Please also see our Guidelines for contributors.

Mécanisme et sciences médicales

La raison des corps. Mécanisme et sciences médicales

Raphaëlle Andrault

Vrin - Problèmes de la raison
220 pages - 11 × 18 cm
ISBN 978-2-7116-2631-1 - août 2016





Courant historique aux contours flous, le mécanisme s’impose toujours comme l’un des objets tacites de la philosophie et de l’histoire des sciences médicales. Dans ces conditions, il s’avère nécessaire de comprendre comment un moment de l’histoire de la médecine, après Harvey et Descartes, s’est constitué en méthode d’investigation du vivant. À partir du principe de la « déduction anatomique » que Georges Canguilhem repère et critique chez les médecins mécanistes, cet ouvrage réexamine l’anatomie post-cartésienne et sa lecture leibnizienne. S’éclaire ainsi sous un jour nouveau l’articulation entre la finalité des organes et l’accès subjectif aux fonctions du vivant.

Littérature et folie

Literature and Madness

Call for papers

PCA/ACA Annual Conference, San Diego, CA, 12-15 April 2017

Date: October 1, 2016

The Literature and Madness section of the Popular Culture Association is soliciting 15-20 minute papers for the upcoming year’s annual PCA/ACA conference in San Diego, CA, scheduled for 12-15 April 2017. The deadline for abstract submission is 1 October 2016.

Contributors are encouraged to think broadly about either or both terms of “literature” and “madness.” For instance, madness can be addressed in its contemporary medical forms, as codified in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), or it can be considered in any of the forms it has been assigned in other historical periods. Likewise, literature can be viewed widely. Past panels have included analysis of popular and canonical literary works and/or genres, but they have also included analysis of film, opera and musical theatre, song lyrics, instrumental music, single-media and multi-media art, and the cultural and economic conditions surrounding the production, publication, performance, and/or installation of such works.

The Literature and Madness section accepts submissions from faculty members, graduate students, and independent scholars. Undergraduate students are encouraged to submit abstracts to the undergraduate sessions offered during the conference.

Abstracts of 250-300 words should be submitted electronically on the PCA/ACA Web site, through the links and process detailed at http://ncp.pcaaca.org/user. Prospective contributors who have questions about submitting an abstract or who encounter difficulty with the electronic links and process on the PCA/ACA Web site should contact the Area Chair for the section.
