Paul Sollier (1861-1933) a été l'un des derniers élèves de Charcot (1825-1893). Il en fut le continuateur, il voyait dans l'hystérie un tempérament et une manière spéciale de réagir au stress plus qu'une véritable maladie. A l'encontre de Sigmund Freud qui faisait du refoulement la cause de l'hystérie, il attribuait à l'hystérie la cause du refoulement. Il démaquillait ainsi le visage d'une affection favorisée par la complexion, les aléas du destin et la place de chacun dans la société.

Quarantaine

Quarantine: History, Heritage, Place

14-16 August 2014

The Quarantine Station, Sydney, Australia

We invite abstracts from historians, geographers, heritage scholars and archaeologists for papers on: place-making and place-marking quarantine and dark tourism graffiti and incarceration shrine creation in places of isolation heritage, materiality and immateriality traces and spaces of disease landscapes of quarantine.

Please send 300 word abstract + short CV for consideration to Peter Hobbins

Deadline: 16 September 2013

The practice of quarantine has always been grounded in contested locations. The history and heritage of quarantine stations and places of isolation the world over remain in these landscapes, as built environments and in artefacts. In this way, sites of segregation have been both enduring and ephemeral. These vestiges intersect in powerful ways with memory and history, but what is being invoked? Who – or what – were the actors bound up by quarantine regulations? How can the material, documentary, legislative and spatial heritage of quarantine help us untangle narratives of global movement that were interrupted by incarceration?

Encompassing people and pathogens, vectors and vessels, flora and fauna, this conference seeks new interpretations of the place of quarantine. Moving in scale from intimate marks made by internees to multi-site or cross-regional comparisons, we seek to bring together maritime histories of quarantine with analyses of the inland islands of terrestrial quarantine. Above all, we hope to prompt surprising and productive conversations between archaeologists, historians, cultural and human geographers, and heritage scholars.

This international conference builds from a large multidisciplinary investigation of more than 1,000 sandstone inscriptions that cover the stunning Quarantine Station in Sydney, Australia (www.qstation.com.au). This unique site will form our venue for the conference, inspiring themes that are both local and global: mark-making, isolation, identity, and place.

Keynote speakers:
Nadav Davidovitch, Ben Gurion University of the Negev
Gareth Hoskins, Aberystwyth University
Harold Mytum, University of Liverpool

Histoire du handicap

EveryBody: An Artifact History of Disability in America

Online exhibition

http://everybody.si.edu/

People with disabilities have been present throughout American history.

Many stories and events related to people with disabilities never make it into the history books or shared public memories. Familiar concepts and events such as citizenship, work, and wars become more complicated, challenge our assumptions about what counts as history, and transform our connection with each other when viewed from the historical perspective of people with disabilities, America’s largest minority.

Knowing these histories deepens understanding of the American experience and reveals how complicated history really is. In addition, when history comes through artifacts, distinct themes emerge—for example, the significance of place, relationships, and technology—that are less apparent when only books and words are used.

Devouring: Food, Drink and the Written Word, 1800-1945

Call for Papers

Conference Saturday 8 March 2014 at Warwick, United Kingdom

This one day interdisciplinary conference will explore the place of food, drink and acts of consumption within the textual culture of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

The years 1800-1945 are marked by food adulteration scandals, the growth of the temperance movement, and significant reforms in the regulation and legislation of food standards, as well as the influence of the colonies on British cuisine and a relationship with food and drink made increasingly complex by wartime paucity and rationing.

These changes are both precipitated and responded to in a vast array of textual forms, including periodicals, the press, recipe books, household management manuals, propaganda, literature and poetry. This conference will therefore engage with the intersections of food/drink cultures and the written word.

We are seeking papers which explore how food and drink were written, experienced and imagined during the period: as a commodity, a luxury item, a source of poison or nutrition, in its abundance or in short supply.

We hope to attract all researchers who have an interest in the culinary cultures of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, including those working in the histories of medicine, art and food, as well as

anthropologists, historians of the nineteenth century and war years, and those working in literary studies.

By bringing together scholars from many disciplines, we hope to provide a space in which to open up dialogue about nineteenth and early twentieth century narratives of eating, drinking, consuming, and their worth, and to provide a timely examination of our relationship with food and drink at a moment when economic and ecological pressures herald a re-appropriation of the values of wartime thrift and Victorian domestic economy.

Possible topics might include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Representations of food and drink in specific texts and their wider implications.
• Cultures of eating, drinking and cooking.
• Social histories of food and drink.
• The uses of food and drink in the articulation (or challenging) of community, nation or empire.
• Food or drink as metaphor/trope/structural device.
• The relationship(s) between reading and eating or drinking.
• The role of food and drink in cultural constructions of domestic space.
• Perspectives from ‘fat studies’/‘fat feminism’.
• Gendered practices of food and drink consumption.
• Food and drink in medical/psychiatric discourse: alcoholism, eating disorders, compulsive behaviour.
• The cultural legacies and/or persistence of Victorian and early twentieth century cultural imaging of food and drink.
• Recipe books, household management manuals and aspirational food.
• The narrating of gluttony or hunger.
• Textual representations of farms, breweries, pubs and restaurants.

Applicants should note that papers may also be considered for inclusion in a possible publication resulting from the conference.

Abstracts of no more than 300 words, accompanied by a brief biographical note of no more than 100 words, should be sent to devouring2014@gmail.com by 31st October 2013.

This conference is being organised by Mary Addyman, Laura Wood and Christopher Yiannitsaros (University of Warwick).

Postdoctorat à Louvain

Postdoc position in the cultural history of science and medicine, 19th-20th c.

The research group Cultural History since 1750 of the University of Leuven seeks to cover many aspects of the cultural landscape of the past, ranging from the history of science and universities, the history of historiography and historical culture, heritage and history education to the development of cultural infrastructure and the history of cultural transfers.

Its members study the development of the humanities and the social sciences, the history of modern laboratory culture and of scientific practices in medical societies, the history of hypnosis, the public function of history education, the history of art patronage, shopping culture and many other cultural-historical topics. They aspire to do so in a broad-minded way, considering the various shapes and meanings of scientific and cultural practices.

Opportunities

The postdoctoral researcher will be involved in two research projects in the cultural history of science and medicine. The first project, ‘Anatomy, scientific authority and the visualized body in medicine and culture’ investigates the ways in which human anatomy gained and/or lost prestige and visibility within the medical and the broader educational and cultural field in Belgium between 1780 and 1930. The postdoctoral researcher will focus his/her research on a transnational aspect of the research project and organize an international conference on the transnational circulation of anatomical knowledge and visual representations. The candidate will work in a team with two PhD- researchers and four staff members (Kaat Wils, Raf De Bont, Jo Tollebeek, Geert Vanpaemel)

The second project, which has its main seat at the University of Stockholm and a partner research center at the University of Groningen, is entitled ‘Scientific Personae in Cultural Encounters in Twentieth Century Europe’ (SPICE). The main objective of this project is to analyze the historical construction of scientific personae through scientific travel and international exchange in a sample of representative countries from the European ‘periphery’, Belgium, the Netherlands and Sweden. The candidate will be the main researcher for the Belgian case, and will be involved in the activities of the international research team, together with the Leuven promoter Kaat Wils.

Profile

You have completed a Doctoral Dissertation in History, Cultural History, History of Science or Science and Technology Studies, or an equivalent degree in which a historical perspective played a prominent role. You have a track-record of international journal publications.

You have strong organisational skills, excellent writing skills, excellent reading skills in French, knowledge of (or a willingness to learn) Dutch and proven ability to work in a team.

Il n’est d’individu que de chair ! Car l’identification de notre corps relève d’abord de la biologie. Inéluctablement, nous sommes insérés dans une anatomie et une physiologie qui suivent leur chemin propre. Et parfois, dans la douleur ou la maladie, nous refusons de nous y reconnaître, enfermés dans un dualisme où le corps se fait autre que soi. Mais le reste du temps, nous sommes immergés dans l’évidence du corps, la jouissance d’être soi qui n’est jamais la même d’une période à l’autre de la vie.

Cette géographie du continent corporel n’échappe ni au temps ni à l’espace. D’une époque ou d’une culture à une autre, les valeurs qui lui sont associées se transforment, changent de valeur, se segmentent selon les conditions sociales, les appartenances de genre ou de génération. Cet ouvrage explore ainsi sous une forme pluridisciplinaire les représentations du gras, du surpoids ou de la minceur. Il s’interroge sur les lieux du corps fortement investis dans nos sociétés comme le visage ou les seins. Il questionne les ritualités intimes mises en œuvre dans les salles de bain, ou lors de soins de beauté.

Une exploration inattendue de nos représentations du corps et de ses usages.

Dentistry at a Crossroads: Divining the Future from the Past

Call for Papers : American Academy of the History of Dentistry 62nd Annual Meeting 

October 18 & 19, 2013 Boston, Massachusetts

AAHD 62nd Annual Meeting

The American Academy of the History of Dentistry will hold its 62nd Annual Meeting in Boston, October 18th-19th, 2013. The theme of this year’s conference is: “Dentistry at a Crossroads: Divining the Future from the Past.”

Dentistry as we know it was born in the 18th century, had its professional coming-of-age in the 19th century, and became fully established its present form in the 20th century. Throughout the centuries, our predecessors forged ahead with remarkable achievements and discoveries; but they did not shy away from confronting the new challenges which came along with these milestones. Changing times bring new questions requiring understanding, refinement and integration into the art and science of the profession of dentistry. And yet today, the dental profession must grapple with the very same questions our forebears did: how to integrate cutting-edge technological breakthroughs; how to structure dental education; and perennial issues of ethics, advertising and social responsibility.

In the spirit of our ongoing quest for knowledge and professional development, the American Academy of the History of Dentistry invites you, our colleagues, to submit papers and proposals for what is sure to be a vibrant series of presentations and conversations.

Please send a brief abstract with title to the following e-mail address:

dac@histden.or

Deadline for submissions is August 15th, 2013

Here is a selection of possible topics for your consideration:

• Dentists, dentistry, medicine & public perception
• The persistence of charlatans: dentistry’s responsibility to police pseudoscience
• Technological and aesthetic advancements in patient care
• Improved dental diagnostics: implications for patients and practitioners
• Solo, group, corporate: the changing structure of dental practices
• Conflicts and controversies in organized dentistry
• Evidence-based dentistry: what do numbers really say?
• Dental education after the Gies report
• Scholarship: information vs. knowledge

Genre, santé, sexualités

Genre, santé, sexualités
De l'injonction aux résistances

Les institutions mondiales, européennes et françaises de santé construisent leurs politiques publiques autour d’une vision positive et idéalisée de la santé comme « un état de bien-être physique, mental et social et [qui] ne consiste pas seulement en une absence de maladie ou d'infirmité». Cette définition amène à s’interroger sur les questions de sexualités, de précarités, d’inégalités, de discriminations et de violences au prisme du genre.Pourtant, les discours et les injonctions à une « bonne santé » et à une « bonne sexualité », qui seraient gages d’épanouissement et de bien-être, tout comme les dispositifs et les pratiques censées les favoriser, sont sous-tendus par des normes de genre qui peuvent aller à l’encontre de ces objectifs. Cette journée d’étude propose ainsi d’interroger ce paradoxe et sera consacrée aux articulations entre genre, santé et sexualités. L’appel à contribution s’adresse à des jeunes chercheuses et chercheurs (étudiant·e·s en master, doctorant·e·s, post-doctorant·e·s) et se veut résolument pluridisciplinaire. Différents axes de recherche, non exhaustifs, ont été dégagés.

Axes thématiques 

La santé, (nouvelle) morale sexuelle ?

La science a aujourd’hui la capacité d’expliquer le fonctionnement du corps ainsi que l’origine et la transmission des maladies, et l’on pourrait donc penser que la médecine n’est plus le terrain de la morale. Cependant, des discours non scientifiques, voire moraux, occupent encore un terrain que l’on penserait dévolu à la médecine et cette dernière n’est elle-même pas exempte de moralisation. Le sida punirait ceux qui pratiquent la sodomie, ou bien, sur un autre plan et avec d’autres enjeux, des praticiens de la médecine ne laissent pas le choix de leur contraception à certaines patientes (refus de pose d’un stérilet pour cause de vie sexuelle non « stable »). Ils peuvent aussi refuser de pratiquer l’IVG pour des raisons personnelles, religieuses ou morales (objecteurs de conscience). Ces pratiques et ces discours jouent sur la culpabilité des sujets qui échappent à une sexualité normative et aujourd’hui encore les IST (infections sexuellement transmissibles) peuvent être considérées comme des sanctions frappant les individu·e·s en raison de leurs « turpitudes » et de leur sexualité hors-norme.

Dans cet axe, il s’agit d’interroger non seulement les représentations des infections et des patient·e·s atteint·e·s d’IST mais plus largement la santé en tant que morale sexuelle. L'importance donnée au maintien de la santé physique et sexuelle est-elle susceptible de s'appuyer, volontairement ou non, sur l'inculcation d'une morale implicite ? Dans quelle mesure ce phénomène est-il perceptible dans les discours médicaux ? Et plus largement dans les campagnes de sensibilisation et de prévention liées à la sexualité, dans les cours d’éducation sexuelle délivrés au collège et au lycée ? 

Sexisme et hétérosexisme du regard médical et scientifique

De nombreuses vérités médicales se sont succédées au cours des derniers siècles, dont certaines peinent à s’estomper : l’hystérie serait une maladie spécifiquement féminine, les hommes auraient des besoins sexuels plus importants que les femmes, la matrice (l’utérus) serait un pénis retourné et inversé à l’intérieur du corps, etc.

Nous aimerions dans cet axe aborder le sexisme et l’hétérosexisme à l’œuvre dans les sciences tant sur le plan des représentations scientifiques et des recherches entreprises que sur celui des rapports entre soignant·e·s et soigné·e·s. Les communications pourront aborder la prise en compte des spécificités des corps et de la santé des femmes, l’hétéronormativité de la prise en charge médicale des corps trans ou intersexués, la méconnaissance et la stigmatisation des pratiques, des plaisirs et des risques spécifiques aux sexualités dissidentes, mais aussi le tabou entourant les pratiques sexuelles des personnes handicapées et des personnes affectées par une maladie de longue durée.

D’autres questions peuvent être également abordées, notamment les pratiques sexuelles ou les normes relatives à une bonne santé pendant la grossesse. Les contributions mettant en valeur les formes de résistances vis-à-vis des injonctions médicales et thérapeutiques et de réappropriation des savoirs scientifiques concernant le corps et la sexualité ainsi que les critiques féministes et queer du monde médical sont également les bienvenues. 

Discriminations, inégalités et justice sociale

Ne pas se conformer aux injonctions normatives de genre, de sexualité et de santé, c’est s’exposer, ou se retrouver exposé·e à des discriminations qui relèvent de la reconnaissance citoyenne et qui prennent place dans l’espace public. Il en va ainsi de l’accès aux soins et à la prévention en matière de santé, souvent conditionné par les orientations de genre et de sexualité et également influencé par les localisations géographiques. Il en va de même de la question des mobilités et des pratiques urbaines, tout comme de l’accès à l’espace public : ne sort pas qui veut, où, quand, comme il·elle le souhaite.

L’analyse de ces discriminations amène à s’interroger sur les possibilités pour chacun·e de mener sa vie quotidienne sans entraves, tout comme sur les buts et les enjeux des politiques publiques. Pour qui sont pensées ces politiques ? En quoi orientent-elles les définitions de genre, santé et sexualités ? Quelles mesures sont prises ou non pour garantir un accès à l’espace citoyen en toute sécurité ? Enfin, le rôle joué par les aménagements urbains et architecturaux est également à l’ordre du jour : en quoi l’agencement des différents lieux et espaces (domestique, urbain, public, carcéral, etc.) impose-t-il des normes implicites en matière de genre, santé et sexualité ? Dans cette optique, les questions – aux enjeux multiples – du travail du sexe et du système prostitutionnel ainsi que de la santé de leurs différents acteur·trices·s pourront être mises en perspective.

L’analyse critique des actions menées par ces politiques publiques, tout comme celle des situations de discriminations vécues au quotidien permettra également de relever comment ces discriminations de genre, santé et sexualité s’imbriquent de façon étroite avec d’autres types d’inégalités.

Violences, sexualités et santé

S’exerçant au sein des espaces, privés, publics et professionnels, les violences sexuelles prennent différentes formes : agressions, harcèlement, mutilations, viols, esclavagisme sexuel etc. Ces violences ont des répercussions importantes sur la santé tant physique que psychologique des victimes: comment ces conséquences se manifestent-elles ? Comment les violences sexuelles impactent-elles la sexualité des victimes ? Comment ces effets sont- ils pris en charge par les organismes de santé ? Et a contrario, comment les institutions juridiques, carcérales et médicales encadrent-elles et prennent-elles en charge la sexualité des auteur·e·s de violences sexuelles ?

Par ailleurs, femmes, lesbiennes, gays, trans’ sont exposé·e·s de manière fréquente à différentes violences (hétéro)sexistes, homophobes et sexuelles. De l’injure aux viols « correctifs », qui visent à punir la sexualité supposée des victimes, différents mécanismes sociaux violents se mettent en place dans le but de guérir l’individu·e de sa « déviance ». Le rôle des organismes de soin dans ces réassignations à l’œuvre sera alors à examiner. 

Résistances et appropriations

Contraints par des normes, des injonctions voire des oppressions, sexualités et genre deviennent-ils des lieux de résistance allant jusqu’à mettre en jeu la santé des individu·e·s ? Dans quelle mesure résister ou se réapproprier des normes de sexualité et de genre revient- il à en faire de même avec celles de santé ? Dans cet axe, nous nous intéresserons aux revendications de santé des femmes, des gays, des lesbiennes, des bisexuel·le·s, des trans’, des intersexué·e·s, des queers, des « putes » et acteur·ice·s pornos. Quid de la santé sexuelle des asexuel·le·s ? Considérant que les luttes minent aussi la santé (fatigue, stress et parfois exposition physique des militant·e·s), comment soignent-ils·elles leurs forces, développent-ils·elles ou non en interne des pratiques de care ? Les stages d’autodéfense en font-ils partie ?

Résister à des sexualités normatives, c’est-à-dire développer des sexualités queer, inclut les résistances hétérosexuelles à la norme et ne se joue pas dans un opposition straight/queer : résister, c’est aussi s’émanciper ou détourner des représentations, des pratiques, des objets, des lieux conventionnels et hégémoniques. Ces mouvements déplacent les enjeux de santé et créent un décalage entre les individu·e·s, leurs besoins, les institutions médicales, les associations, les savoirs et contrôles sanitaires. On peut citer parmi ces mouvements : les lieux de drague extérieurs, le développement d’Internet et des cybersexualités, etc. Internet est-il le nouveau préservatif ?
