Les collections anatomiques de Leyde

The Afterlife of the Leiden Anatomical Collections. Hands On, Hands Off

Hieke Huistra

Routledge

174 pages | 14 B/W Illus.

The Afterlife of the Leiden Anatomical Collections starts where most stories end: after death. It tells the story of thousands of body parts kept in bottles and boxes in nineteenth-century Leiden – a story featuring a struggling medical student, more than one disappointed anatomist, a monstrous child, and a glorious past. Hieke Huistra blends historical analysis, morbid anecdotes, and humour to show how anatomical preparations moved into the hands of students and researchers, and out of the reach of lay audiences. In the process, she reveals what a centuries-old collection can teach us about the future fate of the biobanks we build today.

Médecins et philosophes

Médecins et philosophes. Une histoire  

Claire Crignon et David Lefebvre

CNRS Éditions
Discipline : Philosophie
Publication date : 17/01/2019
Pagination : 512
ISBN : 978-2-271-09287-8


Depuis la séparation entre médecine et philosophie traditionnellement attribuée à Hippocrate, les relations entre ces disciplines ont toujours été intenses et parfois conflictuelles. C’est une histoire de ces rapports que proposent les quinze études réunies dans cet ouvrage, en se centrant sur quelques figures ou moments déterminants : Platon, Aristote, Galien, les écoles empirique et méthodiste, al-Rāzī, Averroès, le XVIe siècle italien, Locke, Kant, Cabanis, les philosophes-médecins de la IIIe République, Canguilhem ou encore Jaspers.
Si aujourd’hui la demande adressée à la philosophie par les médecins concerne principalement l’éthique, le dialogue entre les deux disciplines a porté historiquement d’abord sur le statut épistémologique de la médecine : le meilleur médecin est-il nécessairement philosophe ? Que peut apprendre la philosophie de la méthode du médecin ? La médecine est-elle un art du cas singulier, une science ou les deux ?
En s’inscrivant dans le temps long, ces études rappellent que l’institutionnalisation actuelle de la philosophie de la médecine s’accompagne parfois d’un oubli des origines historiques de la réflexion sur la médecine. Le contact avec la médecine conduisant aussi la philosophie à se souvenir qu’elle se définit comme un genre de vie, c’est la question de l’amélioration du bien-être et de la santé des hommes qui se pose alors, dans un environnement que l’introduction de techniques thérapeutiques nouvelles modifie en permanence.

L'épidémie de sida dans la communauté noire

The Black AIDS Epidemic

Call for papers

Co-Editors: Marlon M. Bailey (Arizona State University) and Darius Bost (The University of Utah)

Almost twenty years after the publication of Cathy Cohen’s The Boundaries of Blackness: AIDS and the Breakdown of Black Politics, HIV/AIDS remains marginal in black studies. In the 1990s (the time of Cohen’s research) black people faced an economic and political crisis that rendered the AIDS epidemic as a marginal social and political concern. The same can be said for this contemporary moment in which the racist social and political backlash after the Obama presidency and administration has redirected black communities’ attention toward policing, criminalization, and mass incarceration and away from a health crisis facing its most marginalized communities, while, in reality, these crises are mutually constitutive. In 2017, 17,528 African Americans received an HIV diagnosis in the United States (12,890 men and 4,560 women). More than half (58%, 10,223) of African Americans who received an HIV diagnosis in 2017 were gay or bisexual men, and more than half (an estimated 56%) of black transgender women are living with HIV. Southern states accounted for 53% of all new AIDS diagnoses in the U.S. in 2016, and more than half of those diagnoses were among black populations. 3,379 African Americans died from HIV disease in 2015, accounting for 52% of total deaths attributed to the disease that year. These disturbing statistics are fueled by other social vulnerabilities from which black people disproportionately suffer, such as poverty, under/unemployment, homelessness and unstable housing; violence and trauma; drug dependency; mental disabilities, and limited to no access to quality and affordable health care (including HIV prevention and treatment), in addition to the social vulnerabilities mentioned above.

While HIV/AIDS remains a central concern of the state’s public health apparatus, public health’s turn toward criminalization, its history of racist ideologies, and its neoliberal economic and political interests have marked it as ill-equipped to grapple with the forces of racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, and capitalism that have converged to produce and perpetuate an ongoing AIDS epidemic in black communities. Although scholars and health practitioners in public health and medicine are trained to study and know HIV/AIDS and other diseases and epidemics, most are not trained to study and understand black lives, communities, and cultures. Thus, public health approaches lack the interdisciplinary knowledge and theoretical and analytic tools to effectively address this multidimensional crisis impacting Black communities. Challenging public health’s focus on intervention, this special issue builds on Marlon M. Bailey’s work on “intraventive” cultural practice to think about how black communities have theorized, conceptualized, struggled against, and withstood AIDS through art, cultural work, activism, advocacy, community-building, and the development of community-based epistemologies.

Because this special issue centers “intraventive” cultural practice and knowledge, we do not see artistic modes of production as separate from other modes of theorizing. Therefore, in addition to literature, visual cultures, music, and theatre/performance, we are also interested in analyses emerging from cultural studies, performance studies, critical race, feminist, queer, disability studies, and interdisciplinary approaches to public health. We follow black feminist scholars such as Evelynn Hammonds, Cathy Cohen, Linda Villarosa, Lisa Bowleg, Michele Tracy Berger, Angelique Harris, and Celeste Watkins-Hayes, who have advanced an intersectional analysis of HIV/AIDS rooted in community-based knowledges. Moreover, following Angela Davis, who has theorized intersectionality as also about the interrelations between political struggles, we hope to situate the urgent struggles against AIDS amid other crises facing black communities, such as medical apartheid; disability justice movements; black feminist and LGBTQ movements; movements for prison abolition; and the contemporary movement for Black lives. The ongoing AIDS epidemic forces a rethinking of contemporary black thought, black cultural production, black struggles for liberation, and AIDS discourses emerging from state and community discourses. How might we re-theorize blackness in the age of AIDS? How does blackness trouble dominant AIDS discourses? We invite scholars who are engaging these questions through interdisciplinary and/or intersectional approaches to contribute to this special issue. We also invite creative writers and artists to submit work (visual art, fiction, poetry, and creative non-fiction) that explores these themes.

Topics of Interests Include:
AIDS and black cultural production (literature and visual art, film, contemporary black media)
AIDS, performance, and cultural practice
Political economy of AIDS/AIDS Industrial Complex
AIDS and black trans experience/transing the black AIDS epidemic
AIDS, blackness, and geography/region, particularly the South and Midwest regions of the U.S.
AIDS in the African Diaspora
Black social movements against AIDS and intersections with other social justice movements (Black Lives Matter, black feminism, prison abolition, sex worker rights, black health movements, disability justice)
Black cultural, political, and intellectual critiques of public health discourse
AIDS, blackness, and biopolitical management (PEP and PREP, treatment as prevention, undetectable=untransmittable)
AIDS and black cultural institutions (church, family, museums, archives)
Black sexuality in the age of AIDS/How to have sexual pleasure in the black AIDS epidemic

Hippocrate

The Cambridge Companion to Hippocrates

Peter E. Pormann (Editor)

Series: Cambridge Companions to Philosophy

Hardcover: 462 pages

Publisher: Cambridge University Press (December 20, 2018)

Language: English

ISBN-13: 978-1107068209

Hippocrates is a towering figure in Greek medicine. Dubbed the 'father of medicine', he has inspired generations of physicians over millennia in both the East and West. Despite this, little is known about him, and scholars have long debated his relationship to the works attributed to him in the so-called 'Hippocratic Corpus', although it is undisputed that many of the works within it represent milestones in the development of Western medicine. In this Companion, an international team of authors introduces major themes in Hippocratic studies, ranging from textual criticism and the 'Hippocratic question' to problems such as aetiology, physiology and nosology. Emphasis is given to the afterlife of Hippocrates from Late Antiquity to the modern period. Hippocrates had as much relevance in the fifth-century BC Greek world as in the medieval Islamic world, and he remains with us today in both medical and non-medical contexts.

Guerre et sciences de l'esprit en Italie

Guerra e Scienze Della Mente in Italia (1848-1945)

Call for papers

a cura di Dario De Santis

Negli ultimi anni, e con più evidenza nel corso delle celebrazioni per il centenario del pri- mo conflitto mondiale, è emersa una nuova attenzione della storiografia per lo studio dei rapporti tra la guerra e quelle che oggi si definiscono “scienze della mente” (psichiatria, psicologia, neurologia, psicopedagogia, ecc.).

L’analisi incrociata dei resoconti scientifici di medici, psicologi e psichiatri e delle scritture private dei protagonisti (dai diari di guerra dei soldati agli archivi di intellettuali e scien- ziati), ha evidenziato la necessità di considerare aspetti fondamentali quali il trauma (fisico e psichico), la memoria (individuale e collettiva), la percezione del conflitto, l’esperienzavissuta e i processi mentali ad essa collegati, penetrando nella soggettività e nel quotidia- no, e indagando le forme di adattamento dei soldati e della popolazione civile, brutalmen- te coinvolta in una guerra industrializzata e di massa. Ha inoltre messo in luce il progredi- re delle discipline medico-scientifiche e psicologiche in funzione sia delle necessità sia del- le conseguenze degli eventi bellici, con l’ideazione di nuove metodologie sperimentali, applicative e cliniche.

Il presente volume intende non solo proseguire nell’approfondimento di questo filone di ricerche con contributi inediti sul primo conflitto mondiale, ma anche allargare lo sguardo agli altri conflitti che nel corso dell’Otto e del Novecento hanno interessato l’Italia, dalle guerre risorgimentali a quelle coloniali, fino alla seconda guerra mondiale. Saranno accolti favorevolmente, inoltre, contributi relativi ad altri ambiti disciplinari in cui il rapporto guerra/scienze della mente abbia avuto un ruolo o sia stato in qualche modo rappresentato (arte, letteratura, cinema, giurisprudenza, economia, ecc.)

Il volume si articolerà in due sezioni: Saggi (contributi di massimo 50.000 battute compresa la bibliografia) e Documenti (schede di massimo 10.000 battute compresa una breve biblio- grafia riguardanti documenti d’archivio di particolare interesse).

A titolo esemplificativo, saranno presi in considerazione testi relativi ai seguenti argomen- ti (ma non necessariamente limitati a questi):

 il ruolo scientifico, politico, strategico-militare, culturale o sociale delle scienze della mente nel periodo bellico;

 le esperienze personali e professionali di psicologi, psichiatri e altri protagonisti del- le scienze della mente durante o a seguito di un conflitto;

 il tema del disturbo post-traumatico nella letteratura, nelle arti o in altre discipline;

 i luoghi deputati alla cura e all’assistenza dei traumatizzati psichici o dei cerebrolesi;

 le scienze della mente nella manualistica militare;

 scienze della mente e propaganda nel periodo bellico.

Per partecipare si richiede l’invio di un abstract non superiore alle 3.000 battute per i Saggie 1.000 battute per i Documenti entro il 31 gennaio 2019 all’indirizzo: aspi@unimib.it

Il volume sarà sottoposto a una procedura di peer review con modalità double blind e pub- blicato nella collana Mente e storia del Centro Aspi – Archivio storico della psicologia ita- liana (Aracne editrice).
