De l’angine à la fièvre, des douleurs articulaires atroces aux mouvements incontrôlés, de l’atteinte du cœur à la mort… Voilà quelques maux qui caractérisent le rhumatisme articulaire aigu également appelé maladie de Bouillaud, une maladie qui a bouleversé la vie d’enfants, d’adolescents et de jeunes adultes du XVIIe siècle à nos jours . Si aujourd’hui elle a quasiment disparu des pays développés, elle persiste encore dans de nombreux pays en développement où elle reste un enjeu de santé publique.

Mais quelle est donc cette maladie aux manifestations si variées qui a intrigué des générations de brillants médecins, fait naître nombre de théories, et contraint les pouvoirs publics à y faire face ? Quel est le lien entre une angine d’allure banale et cette maladie potentiellement invalidante voire mortelle ? S’agit-il d’une maladie infectieuse ou héréditaire ? Quel est le rôle des facteurs sociaux liés à la promiscuité dans les casernes et les villes dans la propagation de la maladie ? Face à ces interrogations qui ont évolué au fil des siècles, quelles hypothèses ont été avancées, quelles prises en charge et quels traitements ont été proposés pour soulager ces jeunes patients ? Quels ont été les moyens pour prévenir le rhumatisme articulaire aigu et ses complications redoutables ?

C’est l’intrigante et fascinante histoire de la maladie de Bouillaud que ce livre raconte. Une histoire médicale et sociale avec ses errances, ses espoirs, ses erreurs et ses succès.

Récits de rêve

Récits de rêve


Édité par Rémy Amouroux, Aude Fauvel, Michaël Roelli


Revue d'histoire des sciences humaines


L'histoire de l’onirologie occidentale s’est longtemps résumée aux études de Sigmund Freud et des psychanalystes sur les rêves. Ainsi, en dehors du domaine « psy », peu de travaux ont été réalisés sur les théories onirologiques, les méthodes onirocritiques et les pratiques onirographiques qui ont vu le jour dans la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, alors que la psychanalyse était à son apogée. C’est il y a une quinzaine d’années seulement que des historiennes et des historiens ont étendu leurs enquêtes à d’autres entreprises savantes, mais pour la plupart en amont de l’œuvre de Freud.
Or l’intérêt des sciences humaines pour les déterminismes inconscients (psychiques, socioculturels, génétiques) s’est affirmé tout au long du XXe siècle, faisant des récits de rêve des objets d’étude historiques, anthropologiques et sociologiques. Ainsi, d’autres rêves que ceux confiés sur un divan ou à un carnet d’analyse ont été étudiés : ceux, par exemple, d’individus peuplant des territoires colonisés ou sous tutelle, dont les administrateurs ont tâché de sonder « la vie intérieure » ; ou ceux d’animaux, qui ont non seulement transformé la neurophysiologie du sommeil à la fin des années 1950, mais aussi contribué, un demi-siècle plus tard, à une remise en question de l’anthropologie.
Les rêves et leur étude, loin de se réduire à des débats entre psychanalystes, se présentent ainsi comme un point de jonction entre les différentes disciplines consacrées à l’étude de l’être humain et de son comportement.

A consideration of the allegory of Christ the Divine Physician in medical and religious writings.


Discourses of physical and spiritual health were intricately entwined in the Middle Ages, shaping intellectual concepts as well as actual treatment. The allegory of Christ as Divine Physician is an example of this intersection: it appears frequently in both medical and religious writings as a powerful figure of healing and salvation, and was invoked by dissidents and reformists in religious controversies.


Drawing on previously unexplored manuscript material, this book examines the use of the Christus Medicus tradition during a period of religious turbulence. Via an interdisciplinary analysis of literature, sermons, and medical texts, it shows that Wycliffites in England and Hussites in Bohemia used concepts developed in hospital settings to press for increased lay access to Scripture and the sacraments against the strictures of the Church hierarchy. Tracing a story of reform and controversy from localised institutional contexts to two of the most important pan-European councils of the fifteenth century, Constance and Basel, it argues that at a point when the body of the Church was strained by multiple popes, heretics and schismatics, the allegory came into increasing use to restore health and order.

L'autre président handicapé

The Other Disabled President

Talk of Beth Linker


Please join us on 22 October at 5.30 pm for the biennial Kass Lecture in the History of Medicine at King's College, London.


This year we have the wonderful Beth Linker (Penn) with a talk entitled 'The Other Disabled President.'



During the first year of his presidency, John F. Kennedy suffered from intractable back pain, a fact largely hidden at the time from public view. After several failed medical interventions, the president finally experienced some relief under the care of Dr. Hans Kraus, an orthopedist and posture-fitness guru. My talk will explore how this chance relationship would go on to inform Cold War notions of physical fitness, and how disabling back pain—and its prevention—rose to national prominence and stoked geopolitical concerns regarding the communist threat to the so-called free world.


Beth is the Samuel H. Preston Endowed Term Professor at the University of Pennsylvania in the Department of the History and Sociology of Science. Her research and teaching interests include the history of science and medicine, disability, health care policy, and gender. She is the author of War’s Waste: Rehabilitation in World War I America (Chicago, 2011) and co-editor of Civil Disabilities: Citizenship, Membership, and Belonging (Penn Press, 2014). Her most recent book, Slouch: Posture Panic in Modern America (Princeton University Press, 2024), is a historical consideration of how poor posture became a feared pathology in the United States throughout much of the twentieth century. For this project, Linker received grants from The American Council of Learned Societies, The National Endowment for the Humanities, The National Institutes of Health, and The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.

Une histoire de l'intestin

Rumbles: A Curious History of the Gut: The Secret Story of the Body's Most Fascinating Organ 

Elsa Richardson

Publisher ‏ : ‎ Pegasus Books (October 1, 2024)
Language ‏ : ‎ English
Hardcover ‏ : ‎ 336 pages
ISBN-10 ‏ : ‎ 1639367241
ISBN-13 ‏ : ‎ 978-1639367245

The stomach is notoriously outspoken. It growls, gurgles, and grumbles while other organs remain silent, inconspicuous, and content. For centuries humans have puzzled over this rowdy, often overzealous organ, deliberating on the extent of its influence over cognition, mental well-being, and emotions, and wondering how the gut became so central to our sense of self.

Traveling from ancient Greece to Victorian England, eighteenth-century France to modern America, cultural historian Elsa Richardson leads us on a lively tour of the gut, exploring all the ways that we have imagined, theorized, and probed the mysteries of the gastroenterological system. We'll meet a wildly diverse cast of characters including Edwardian bodybuilders, hunger-striking suffragettes, demons, medieval alchemists, and one poor teenage girl plagued by a remarkably vocal gut, all united by this singular organ.

Engaging, eye-opening, and thought-provoking, Rumbles leaves no stone unturned, scrutinizing religious tracts and etiquette guides, satirical cartoons, and political pamphlets, in its quest to answer the millennia-old question: Are we really ruled by our stomachs?

Intestin, cerveau et environnement dans la littérature et la médecine françaises du XIXe siècle

Gut, Brain, and Environment in Nineteenth-Century French Literature and Medicine
 

Manon Mathias
 

Routledge
2024

Gut, Brain, and Environment in Nineteenth-Century French Literature and Medicine offers a new way of conceptualizing food in literature: not as social or cultural symbol but as an agent within a network of relationships between body and mind and between humans and environment. By analysing gastrointestinal health in medical, literary, and philosophical texts, this volume rethinks the intersections between literature and health in the nineteenth century and triggers new debates about France’s relationship with food. Of relevance to scholars of literature and to historians and sociologists of science, food, and medicine, it will provide ideal reading for students of French Literature and Culture, History, Cultural Studies, and History of Science and Medicine, Literature and Science, Food Studies, and the Medical Humanities. Readers will be introduced to new ways of approaching digestion in this period and will gain appreciation of the powerful resources offered by nineteenth-century French writing in understanding the nature of connections between gut, mind, and environment and the impact of these connections on our status as human beings.
