Les pathologies mentales des femmes, longtemps liées au corps et à la sexualité, prouveraient leur faiblesse intellectuelle et morale. Folles dans et de leur corps, les femmes inclineraient aux conduites déviantes. La question du genre est donc centrale pour étudier la folie et sa représentation.

Changements d'échelle en histoire de la technologie

Interdependencies. From Local Microstories to Global Perspectives on the History of Technology

Call for papers

The ICOHTEC 50th conference

Tallinn and Tartu, Estonia

Tallinn University of Technology and the University of Tartu

14-18 August 2023

The 2023 ICOHTEC annual conference invites scholars to reflect on the complex, mutual relations between technology and the environment, culture, and politics, as well as the ways in which they are entangled at the local, regional, transnational, and global levels. The crises we face today as a consequence of climate change, wars, or the COVID pandemic expose the reality that no institution, company, country, community, or body is independent. They all depend on diverse others within various networks, e.g. production and distribution systems; supply chains, especially of food, energy, materials, and medical products as well as human workers; support and care systems created at the global, national, and interpersonal levels. Within these networks, the solutions developed by unprivileged groups to manage the shortcomings they cope with daily can also be, and in fact are, applied more broadly in the face of the crisis (such as permaculture inspirations in Indigenous people’s methods of water conservation) and for commercial purposes (as evidenced by the long list of solutions invented by or for people with disabilities and then mainstreamed).

By taking up the concept of interdependence, the conference aims to scrutinize the traditional historiographies of technology and to question the narratives they offer about agency, power, and the concept of usually unidirectional paths and impact. We also seek to consider the broader implications of the interrelations of technology with the environment, along with diverse values and beliefs, knowledge and epistemic practices.

We invite scholars working on different aspects of the history of technology, various historic periods, different geographical areas, and welcome researchers working at the intersection of history of technology or philosophy of technology, and other fields, including anthropology, design studies, film and media studies, social sciences, minority and identity studies, to share their perspectives and analyses. We look forward to opening new avenues for exploring the interdependencies between disciplines, paradigms, research methods and theories that relate to technology.

Submissions may include, but are not limited to, the following topics:

• the local histories of technology/knowledge/practices exchange
• the local adaptations of technological inventions 
• invisible histories of technology
• the minority/disability-driven inventions
• the technologies of the excluded, and the histories of appropriation by the mainstream
• between appropriation and innovation – brands, companies, policies
• the interrelations of politics/environment/culture and technology
• global chains of energy/food/medicine – continuities, disruptions, and temporary/local provisions and hacks
• maintaining technological systems locally and globally
• globalization and changing local labour patterns
• interdependencies and technological entanglements of ecological systems in change
• the changing scales of technological and scientific inventions – from grassroot to corporate
• interdependencies between technologies
• interdependencies between histories and imaginaries
• methodologies for studying local, small, invisible histories of technology, technology appropriation
• decolonizing Western/Northern history of technology

Individual paper proposals must include: (1) the presenter’s name and email address; (2) the title of the paper; (3) an abstract (max. 300 words); (4) the presenter’s bio (max. 250 words).

We strongly support the submission of proposals for pre-constituted panels of 3 or 4 papers. Panel organizers are asked to submit: (1) an abstract of the panel theme (max. 300 words); (2) a list of presenters that includes their names, email address, and paper titles, as well as the name and email address of the session chairperson; (3) abstracts for each paper (max. 300 words); (4) a bio for each contributor and the chairperson (max. 250 words each).

Submit all session and individual paper proposals by 15 January 2023 via the ICOHTEC paper submission system: https://www.icohtec.org/w-annual-meeting/tallinn-tartu-2023/call-for-papers/

Please pay close attention to the instructions, particularly to the word limits of the submitted documents.

The programme committee reserves the right to relocate papers to different themes and add papers to panels.

We especially encourage and welcome proposal submissions from graduate students and early career researchers and their participation in the symposium. Limited travel grants will be available.

La possession de Barbe Hallay

The Possession of Barbe Hallay. Diabolical Arts and Daily Life in Early Canada

When strange signs appeared in the sky over Québec during the autumn of 1660, people began to worry about evil forces in their midst. They feared that witches and magicians had arrived in the colony, and a teenaged servant named Barbe Hallay started to act as if she were possessed. The community tried to make sense of what was happening, and why. Priests and nuns performed rituals to drive the demons away, while the bishop and the governor argued about how to investigate their suspicions of witchcraft. A local miller named Daniel Vuil, accused of using his knowledge of the dark arts to torment Hallay, was imprisoned and then executed.

Stories of the demonic infestation circulated through the small settlement on the St Lawrence River for several years. In The Possession of Barbe Hallay Mairi Cowan revisits these stories to understand the everyday experiences and deep anxieties of people in New France. Her findings offer insight into beliefs about demonology and witchcraft, the limits of acceptable adolescent behaviour, the dissonance between a Catholic colony in theory and the church’s wavering influence in practice, the contested authority accorded to women as healers, and the insecurities of the colonial project. As the people living through the events knew at the time, and as this study reveals, New France was in a precarious position.

The Possession of Barbe Hallay is both a fascinating account of a case of demonic possession and an accessible introduction to social and religious history in early modern North America.

Histoires de la santé sexuelle à Londres

PhD Studentship: Histories of sexual health in London’s East End

Call for applications

The Institute of Applied Health Research (University of Birmingham) has partnered with the Centre for the History of Medicine (University of Warwick) and Barts Health NHS Trust Archives and Museums to secure a fully funded Midlands4Cities PhD studentship. Using the rich archival collections of the Whitechapel Venereal Disease Clinic, this four-year studentship will be a granular study of sexual-health experiences and outcomes among marginalised and minoritised communities in London’s East End from the interwar years to the beginning of the AIDS crisis.

The deadline for applications is 11 January 2023. The successful candidate will be expected to begin the studentship in October 2023.


The twentieth century witnessed enormous changes in medical knowledge, public attitudes, policymaking and infrastructure for sexual health. But the personal, lived experiences of sexual health, especially among marginalised and minoritised communities in the decades before the AIDS crisis, are largely missing from the archives to which historians have hitherto had access. As such, these personal experiences have not yet received the scholarly attention they deserve.

Established in 1929, the Whitechapel VD Clinic was among the most significant sites in the nationwide Venereal Disease Service. Its archives contain approximately 12,000 items and are unique among surviving sexual-health archives in their scope and completeness. Importantly, the collection also reflects the long historical trajectory of medical and social beliefs linking migrants and minoritised populations with the spread of STIs. The bedrock of the student’s archival research will be the Whitechapel Clinic archives. For comparison and context, they will also draw on archives from central government and local authorities across the UK. And they will undertake oral histories with people who accessed or staffed sexual-health services in London’s East End.

The student will be supervised by Dr Anne Hanley (Birmingham), Professor Roberta Bivins (Warwick) and Kate Jarman and Ginny Dawe-Woodings (Barts Health). They will receive a programme of tailored training that addresses the practical and ethical challenges of working with highly sensitive records. In year 4 of the PhD, they will draw on these skills as part of a formal placement (approximately 6 hours a week for 10 weeks) with Barts Health. During this placement, they will consult on the development of a major funding bid that would enable Barts Health to complete the digitisation of the Whitechapel Clinic archives. This collaboration will offer the student new insights into their own research while also helping them to develop grant-capture skills and gain valuable experience of collaborative project planning and development that will support their future career. They will also receive training to collect, transcribe and analyse oral histories. And they will have access to training and resources to support their public-engagement work.

This project is embedded within the medical humanities and committed to using history to respond to today’s health challenges. In the Institute of Applied Health Research they will be supported by Hanley’s UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship, Histories of Sexual Health in Britain, 1918–1980, as well as a multidisciplinary community of researchers specialising in sexual and reproductive health. As a member of this research community, the student will build links with staff delivering sexual healthcare through University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust. This will complement links that they will also build with staff delivering Barts Health NHS Trust’s sexual-health services. With links to two of England’s largest NHS Trusts, the student will gain an understanding of contemporary sexual-health challenges and priorities, contextualise their work in modern-day provisions and develop policy relevance for their historical research.

Date de publication : 30 novembre 2022

Cet ouvrage est centré autour de l'acte chirurgical le plus extrême : l'amputation. L'auteur examine ici l'évolution des techniques et les instruments de l'amputation, ainsi que quelques aspects inédits, tels que l'automutilation ou la mutilation spontanée. L'ouvrage s'intéresse également aux principales raisons pouvant entraîner une amputation. Car, contrairement à ce que l'on croit, l'acte ne relève pas toujours de la thérapeutique. Enfin l'auteur élargit l'angle d'analyse, abordant les questions des mutilations post-mortem, des prothèses, ainsi que de la représentation des individus amputés dans la société. Un ouvrage inédit sur une thématique exceptionnelle.
