La psychanalyse à l'âge du totalitarisme

Psychoanalysis in the Age of Totalitarianism

Edited by Matt ffytche, Daniel Pick

© 2016 – Routledge
288 pages

Psychoanalysis in the Age of Totalitarianism provides rich new insights into the history of political thought and clinical knowledge. In these chapters, internationally renowned historians and cultural theorists discuss landmark debates about the uses and abuses of ‘the talking cure’ and map the diverse psychologies and therapeutic practices that have featured in and against tyrannical, modern regimes. 

These essays show both how the Freudian movement responded to and was transformed by the rise of fascism and communism, the Second World War, and the Cold War, and how powerful new ideas about aggression, destructiveness, control, obedience and psychological freedom were taken up in the investigation of politics. They identify important intersections between clinical debate, political analysis, and theories of minds and groups, and trace influential ideas about totalitarianism that took root in modern culture after 1918, and still resonate in the twenty-first century. At the same time, they suggest how the emergent discourses of ‘totalitarian’ society were permeated by visions of the unconscious. 

Topics include: the psychoanalytic theorizations of anti-Semitism; the psychological origins and impact of Nazism; the post-war struggle to rebuild liberal democracy; state-funded experiments in mind control in Cold War America; coercive ‘re-education’ programmes in Eastern Europe, and the role of psychoanalysis in the politics of decolonization. A concluding trio of chapters argues, in various ways, for the continuing relevance of psychoanalysis, and of these mid-century debates over the psychology of power, submission and freedom in modern mass society.

Psychoanalysis in the Age of Totalitarianism will prove compelling for both specialists and readers with a general interest in modern psychology, politics, culture and society, and in psychoanalysis. The material is relevant for academics and post-graduate students in the human, social and political sciences, the clinical professions, the historical profession and the humanities more widely.

Histoire des oestrogènes et de la testostérone

Sex Science Self: A Social History of Estrogen, Testosterone, and Identity 

Bob Ostertag


Hardcover: 208 pages
Publisher: University of Massachusetts Press (June 6, 2016)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1625342128
ISBN-13: 978-1625342126


In Sex Science Self, Bob Ostertag cautions against accepting and defending any technology uncritically―even, maybe even especially, a technology that has become integrally related to identity. Specifically, he examines the development of estrogen and testosterone as pharmaceuticals.

Ostertag situates this history alongside the story of an increasingly visible and political lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender population. He persuasively argues that scholarship on the development of sex hormone chemicals does not take into account LGBT history and activism, nor has work in LGBT history fully considered the scientific research that has long attempted to declare a chemical essence of gender. In combining these histories, Ostertag reveals the complex motivations behind hormone research over generations and expresses concern about the growing profits from estrogen and testosterone, which now are marketed with savvy ad campaigns to increase their use across multiple demographics.

Ostertag does not argue against the use of pharmaceutical hormones. Instead he points out that at a time when they are increasingly available, it is more important than ever to understand the history and current use of these powerful chemicals so that everyone―within the LGBT community and beyond―can make informed choices.

In this short, thoughtful, and engaging book, Ostertag tells a fascinating story while opening up a wealth of new questions and debates about gender, sexuality, and medical treatments.

Imaginaire des sciences du vivant

Les sciences du vivant. Imaginaire et discours scientifique

Colloque

20 et 21 octobre 2016

Académie Polonaise des Sciences
74, rue Lauriston Paris 75016

L’objectif de ce colloque est d’étudier l’imaginaire et le discours scientifique de la fin du XVIIIe siècle jusqu’au début du XXe siècle dans le domaine des sciences de la nature et de la vie. Cette période voit le développement de nouvelles théories dans l’histoire naturelle puis la formation de la biologie et l’émergence de modèles de pensées et d’idées qui connaîtront une diffusion importante vers d’autres domaines. Du fixisme, au transformisme, à l’évolutionnisme puis à l’idée de mutation, les paradigmes changent. Cette période favorise les débats, les hypothèses et la formulation d’idées dans des textes dont les qualités littéraires semblent indissociables d’une inventivité scientifique qui ne cède pas encore à l’abstraction et à la sécheresse théorique.

Notre corpus sera donc constitué de ces textes scientifiques mais aussi d’œuvres d’écrivains qui s’adonnent parfois aux sciences naturelles (comme Goethe et Nodier) ou d’œuvres de scientifiques qui écrivent occasionnellement des fictions. Les recherches seront centrées sur une question : quelle est la part de l’imagination, de la poétique et de la rhétorique dans la pensée et l’écriture scientifiques ?

Les communications pourront porter sur des textes ou des avant-textes, des correspondances. Il s'agira de cerner les processus d’invention et d’écriture – dont certains peuvent être à l’œuvre aussi bien dans des textes littéraires que scientifiques –, de mettre au jour des formes rhétoriques et narratives, voire une intertextualité littéraire dans les textes scientifiques, d’analyser éventuellement le recours à des mythes, à des schèmes narratifs préconstruits ou à des modèles de pensée émanant des sciences humaines. Nous nous interrogerons sur le rôle de l’imagination dans la formulation des hypothèses, sur la plasticité et la poéticité des idées et des modèles de pensée qui rencontrent ensuite le plus de succès dans leur diffusion culturelle.

Comité scientifique : Juliette Azoulai, Carmen Husti, Michael Soubbotnik, Gisèle Séginger, (UPEM) et Barbara Luczak, Miroslaw Loba, Patrycja Tomczak (Université Adam Mickiewicz, Poznan).

Les propositions de communication sont à adresser à Gisèle Séginger (présentation de 15 lignes et éléments biobibliographiques) avant le 15 juin 2016 : gisele.seginger@u-pem.fr

L’ouvrage propose une biographie d’Ange Guépin (1803-1873), l’édition de son « Journal » resté manuscrit, une brochure peu connue Les véritables intérêts de la bourgeoisie ainsi que sa correspondance inédite avec Prosper Enfantin. Ange Guépin a marqué l’histoire politique, intellectuelle et sociale de Nantes de 1830 à 1870. Médecin ophtalmologue réputé et homme politique apportant sa propre contribution aux utopies socialistes, il mérite d’être sorti et de sa légende et de l’oubli.

Vie et mort d'un chirurgien du front

Battlefield Surgeon: Life and Death on the Front Lines of World War II 

Christopher B. Kennedy (Editor)

Hardcover: 288 pages
Publisher: University Press of Kentucky; 1 edition (May 17, 2016)
Language: English
ISBN-13: 978-0813167237

In November 1942, Paul Andrew Kennedy (1912–1993) boarded the St. Elena in New York Harbor and sailed for Casablanca as part of Operation Torch, the massive Allied invasion of North Africa. As a member of the US Army's 2nd Auxiliary Surgical Group, he spent the next thirty-four months working in North Africa, Italy, France, and Germany, in close proximity to the front lines and often under air or artillery bombardment. He was uncomfortable, struck by the sorrows of war, and homesick for his wife, for whom he kept detailed diaries to ease his unrelenting loneliness.

In Battlefield Surgeon, Kennedy's son Christopher has edited his father's journals and provided historical context to produce an invaluable personal chronicle. What emerges is a vivid record of the experiences of a medical officer in the European theater of operations in World War II. Kennedy participated in some of the fiercest action of the war, including Operation Avalanche, the attack on Anzio, and Operation Dragoon. He also arrived in Rome the day after the Allied troops, and entered the Dachau concentration camp two days after it was liberated.

Despite the enormous success of the popular M*A*S*H franchise, there are still surprisingly few authentic accounts of military doctors and medical practice during wartime. As a young, inexperienced surgeon, Kennedy grappled with cases much more serious and complex than he had ever faced in civilian practice. Featuring a foreword by Pulitzer Prize–winning World War II historian Rick Atkinson and an afterword by U.S. Army medical historian John T. Greenwood, this remarkable firsthand account offers an essential perspective on the Second World War.

La pathologie du suicide

La pathologie du suicide. Pour une nouvelle histoire des enjeux médicaux et socio-politiques aux 19e-20e siècles

Journée d'étude

Lundi 13 juin 2016, 9h-17h30
IUHMSP | Salle de colloque
Provence 82 | 1007 Lausanne

Dès sa dépénalisation en France au tournant du 19e siècle, le statut du suicide se transforme en un objet médical. Cette transformation relève des nouveaux développements médicaux, mais aussi d’une collaboration entre le médical, le politique et le juridique. En élargissant les frontières de son expertise et son champ d’action, la médecine cherche à circonscrire, définir, prévenir et soigner ce phénomène complexe. Dans ce colloque, il s’agira de comprendre comment s’est construit cet objet médical et, plus précisément, comment cette construction a été influencée voire définie par d’autres discours non médicaux, notamment juridique, journalistique et littéraire, moral et politique.

Concrètement, nous étudierons comment certaines institutions, comme la prison, la justice et la presse, ont été concernées par cette nouvelle distribution des savoirs.

Pauvreté et pestilence dans les colonies américaines

Disease and Discrimination: Poverty and Pestilence in Colonial Atlantic America

Dale L. Hutchinson (Author)

Hardcover: 304 pages
Publisher: University Press of Florida (June 7, 2016)
Language: English
ISBN-13: 978-0813062693 

Disease and discrimination are processes linked to class in the early American colonies. Many early colonists fell victim to mass sickness as Old and New World systems collided and new social, political, economic, and ecological dynamics allowed disease to spread.

Dale Hutchinson argues that most colonists, slaves, servants, and nearby Native Americans suffered significant health risks due to their lower economic and social status. With examples ranging from indentured servitude in the Chesapeake to the housing and sewage systems of New York to the effects of conflict between European powers, Hutchinson posits that poverty and living conditions, more so than microbes, were often at the root of epidemics.

«Je ne peux pas croire que je dois encore me battre pour ça!» clament les pancartes des manifestantes les plus âgées. On aimerait croire que ce débat appartient au passé, mais depuis 1989, près d’une trentaine de projets de loi visant à recriminaliser l’avortement ont été déposés par des députés du caucus pro-vie à la Chambre des communes du Canada. Si nous y avons échappé jusqu’à maintenant, c’est grâce à la vigilance de militantes et à l’appui de milliers de personnes, convaincues que le droit à l’avortement est crucial pour l’émancipation des femmes.

Par sa durée, son ampleur et l’intensité des résistances, la lutte pour le droit à l’avortement libre et gratuit est l’une des plus importantes du mouvement féministe, au Québec comme ailleurs. C’est ce que permet de constater ce livre, précieux assemblage de documents et d’analyses, enquête minutieuse sur un pan ignoré et pourtant déterminant de l’histoire des femmes du Québec.

Présentant une chronologie détaillée et rigoureuse des événements, tant sur les plans juridique et politique que du point de vue de l’organisation citoyenne, ce livre offre un portrait vivant, original et complet par une protagoniste de ce mouvement. Il salue également le courage des femmes qui ont réclamé le droit à l’avortement à une époque où il était considéré comme un meurtre, le dévouement de celles et ceux qui, devant la résistance et l’inertie des autorités, l’ont si longtemps pratiqué illégalement. -

Propriété, lois et santé publique en Angleterre

Healthy Boundaries. Property, Law, and Public Health in England and Wales, 1815-1872

James G. Hanley


Series: Rochester Studies in Medical History

Hardcover: 359 pages
Publisher: University of Rochester Press (June 1, 2016)
Language: English
ISBN-13: 978-1580465564

This book argues that the legacies of nineteenth-century public health in England and Wales were not just better health and cleaner cities, but also new ideas of property and people. Between 1815 and 1872, public health activiststriggered multiple redefinitions of both, shifting the boundaries between public and private nuisances, between public and private services, between taxable and nontaxable property, between cities and suburbs, between the state and the individual, and between different kinds of individuals. These boundary-making processes were themselves inflected by different material, political, and ideological developments: disease, demography, democracy, and domesticity, in particular, shaped the legal limits of public health. These boundary shifts manifested themselves in the creation of new nuisance laws and in the minute control by the state of private domestic arrangements. Most important, they promoted a radical shift in the financial responsibility for the health of others, stimulating in the process highly controversial ideas of community. Public health thus served as an important, if contradictory, sitein the creation of communities, enhancing the right to health for some while simultaneously restricting the privacy rights of others in the name of health. Relying on under-used legal sources, this book presents a fresh view of the local origins and legal and political significance of the public health movement.

Prévenir la maladie mentale

Preventing Mental Illness: Past, Present and Future

Workshop

2-3 June 2016

Ross Priory, University of Strathclyde

Much historical and contemporary thought about mental health and psychiatry has resolved around the concept of treatment. Both historians and the public have long been attracted to the myriad ways in which psychiatrists, employing everything from moral therapy and psychoanalysis to lobotomy and psychopharmacology, have attempted to treat the mentally ill. But this fascination overshadows another equally important and increasingly relevant theme in the history of mental health: prevention. Not only has the history of preventive psychiatry been an unappreciated aspect of the history of twentieth-century mental health history, but prevention has also attracted renewed attention in recent years, as rates of mental illness continue to escalate and as a host of parties have raised concerns about various forms of treatment.

Preventing Mental Illness: Past, Present and Future provides an opportunity for both historians and mental health practitioners to share both their insights about the history and current and state of preventive psychiatry, and their ambitions about how mental health policy and practice might be changed to become more preventive. The event will begin on the morning of the 2nd of June with a witness seminar featuring six psychiatrists who have engaged with the idea of preventive psychiatry from the 1960s onwards. The participants in the witness seminar will include:

Dr H. Gordon Clark, SelectPsych

Dr Tom Harrison, University of Birmingham

Professor Sir Robin Murray, Kings College London

Dr Michael Smith, Associate Lead Director, Mental Health Services, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde

Professor Eliot Sorel, George Washington University

Professor John Talbott, University of Maryland

Following the witness seminar and lunch, we will proceed with a history conference lasting until late afternoon on the 3rd of June, and featuring many leading mental health history experts. The conference will explore themes ranging from eugenics and spirituality to socioeconomic inequality and Freudianism, considering mental health and psychiatry in regions including the UK, North America, Japan and the former Yugoslavia.. Confirmed speakers include

Professor Elizabeth Danto, Dr Dennis Doyle, Professor Erika Dyck, Dr David Freis, Dr Matthew Gambino, Dr Chris Harding, Ms Erin Lux, Dr Sarah Marks, Dr Ed Ramsden, Dr Lucas Richert, Dr Mat Saveli, Professor Matthew Smith and Professor Eli Zaretsky.

Preventing Mental Illness: Past, Present and Future has been made possible due to the generous funding of the AHRC (Early Career Fellowship) and the Wellcome Trust (Small Award).

Histoire de l'école de santé publique de Johns Hopkins

Health and Humanity: A History of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, 1935-1985

Karen Kruse Thomas

Hardcover: 544 pages
Publisher: Johns Hopkins University Press; 1 edition (May 17, 2016)
Language: English
ISBN-13: 978-1421421087

Between 1935 and 1985, the nascent public health profession developed scientific evidence and practical know-how to prevent death on an unprecedented scale. Thanks to public health workers, life expectancy rose rapidly as generations grew up free from the scourges of smallpox, typhoid, and syphilis. In Health and Humanity, Karen Kruse Thomas offers a thorough account of the growth of academic public health in the United States through the prism of the oldest and largest independent school of public health in the world. Thomas follows the transformation of the Johns Hopkins School of Hygiene and Public Health (JHSPH), now known as the Bloomberg School of Public Health, from a small, private institute devoted to doctoral training and tropical disease research into a leading global educator and innovator in fields from biostatistics to mental health to pathobiology.

A provocative, wide-ranging account of how midcentury public health leveraged federal grants and anti-Communist fears to build the powerful institutional networks behind the health programs of the CDC, WHO, and USAID, the book traces how Johns Hopkins helped public health take center stage during the scientific research boom triggered by World War II. It also examines the influence of politics on JHSPH, the school’s transition to federal grant funding, the globalization of public health in response to hot and cold war influences, and the expansion of the school’s teaching program to encompass social science as well as lab science.

Revealing how faculty members urged foreign policy makers to include saving lives in their strategy of "winning hearts and minds," Thomas argues that the growth of chronic disease and the loss of Rockefeller funds moved the JHSPH toward international research funded by the federal government, creating a situation in which it was sometimes easier for the school to improve the health of populations in India and Turkey than on its own doorstep in East Baltimore. Health and Humanity is a comprehensive account of the ways that JHSPH has influenced the practice, pedagogy, and especially our very understanding of public health on both global and local scales.

Aluminium et santé

Aluminium et santé : un siècle de controverses oubliées

Conférence de Florence Hachez-Leroy(CNRS, EHESS et Université d’Artois)

31 Mai 2016, 16 h 45 (thé à 16 h 30)

Amphithéâtre Astier, Bâtiment Esclangon, Campus Jussieu

Résumé – Longtemps présenté comme le métal du progrès et de la modernité, l’aluminium est devenu un matériau controversé auquel sont consacrés de nombreuses émissions de télévision, articles de journaux et débats. Cette remise en cause depuis les années 1980 est liée aux travaux sur la maladie d’Alzheimer, et a notamment engendré une suspicion contre les ustensiles de cuisine et les

emballages alimentaires et contre son usage comme additif alimentaire.

Au travers des controverses qui ont jalonnées l’histoire de ce métal depuis son apparition au milieu du XIXe siècle jusqu’au milieu du XXIe siècle, nous analyserons le rôle des scientifiques, des industriels et de la régulation en Europe et aux États-Unis. Il s’agira de souligner l’ancienneté de ce débat, de comprendre la construction des rapports de force entre pro- et anti-aluminium, et d’interroger les formes d’amnésie qui le touche.

Sister Soldiers of the Great War: The Nurses of the Canadian Army Medical Corps


Cynthia Toman



Series: Studies in Canadian Military History
Hardcover: 336 pages
Publisher: UBC Press (May 21, 2016)
Language: English
ISBN-13: 978-0774832137

In Sisters Soldiers of the Great War, award-winning author Cynthia Toman recovers the long-lost history of Canada's first women soldiers - nursing sisters who enlisted as officers with the Canadian Army Medical Corps. These experienced professional nurses left their friends, families, and jobs to enlist in the army. Granted relative rank and equal pay to men, they had a mandate to salvage as many sick and wounded men as possible for return to the frontlines. Nothing prepared them for poor living conditions, the scale of casualties, or the type of wounds they encountered, but their letters and diaries reveal that they were determined to soldier on under all circumstances while still "living as well as possible."

Momies, magie et médecine en Egypte antique

Mummies, magic and medicine in ancient Egypt: Essays in honour of Rosalie David

Campbell Price, Roger Forshaw, Andrew Chamberlain & Paul Nicholson (Editors)


Hardcover: 528 pages
Publisher: Manchester University Press; (June 1, 2016)
Language: English
ISBN-13: 978-1784992439

This volume, published in honour of Egyptologist Prof. Rosalie David OBE, presents the latest research on three of the most important aspects of ancient Egyptian civilisation: mummies, magic and medical practice. Drawing on recent archaeological fieldwork, new research on Egyptian human remains, reassessments of ancient Egyptian texts and modern experimental archaeology, these essays try to answer some of Egyptology's biggest questions: How did Tutankhamun die? How were the Pyramids built? How were mummies made?

A number of leading experts in their fields combine both traditional Egyptology and innovative scientific techniques to ancient material. The resulting overview presents the state of Egyptology in 2016, how it has developed over the last forty years, and how many of its big questions still remain the same.

La médecine légale de la sexualité dans l'Angleterre victorienne

Sexual Forensics in Victorian and Edwardian England: Age, Crime and Consent in the Courts

Victoria Bates


Series: Genders and Sexualities in History
Hardcover: 202 pages
Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan; 1st ed. 2016 edition (May 3, 2016)
Language: English
ISBN-13: 978-1137441706

Drawing on court records from London and the South West, Sexual Forensics in Victorian and Edwardian England explores medical roles in trials for sexual offences. Its focus on sexual maturity, a more flexible concept than the legal age of consent, enables histories of sexual crime to be seen in a new light.

Psychiatrie dans l'Inde du premier 20e siècle

Psychiatrists, psychiatry and the colonial state in the first half of 20th century India

Lecture by Shilpi Rajpal (Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Mohali) 

On May 31st,

Time: 6-7:30pm

Location: Arts and Humanities Common Room (G24), Foster Court, Malet Place, University College London.

Abstract: By the mid-20th century some psychiatrists were performing important roles in transforming the nature of psychiatry in India. Wider exposure to international trends was an important feature of 20th-century psychiatry in India as its enthusiastic practitioners not only travelled widely but also experimented with new methods of treatment. These efforts were frequently confined to individuals and cannot be generalised. The colonial state maintained an apathetic attitude towards the mentally ill and mental illness. Nonetheless, the concept of a specialist emerged in this period. Some of these specialists dedicated their lives to the cause of studying insanity, and some of the central asylums became hubs for psychiatric deliberations. These deliberations were among these individuals and the colonial state. These negotiations were sometimes successful but at other times failed. What should be kept in mind is that innovation and interest depended entirely on the zeal of the superintendent-in-charge. His motivation was his own as the government did not have much stake in the process. The change also included bringing psychiatry in India in line with international developments in the field. These changes however should not be understood in terms of teleological growth. The paper attempts to analyse the novelties in terms of psychoanalysis and other international factors, such as the mental hygiene movement. It focuses on debates in the official circles, and juxtaposes these individual efforts to governmental attempts to revamp the psychiatric infrastructure.

Le corps dans les colonies

Le corps en perspective. Représentations, pratiques et prises en charge dans les colonies

Journée d’étude de la Société d'Histoire des outre-mers (SFHOM)

27 mai 2016 à Paris

Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne
Centre Sorbonne, Galerie Gerson
Amphithéâtre Bachelard

Cette journée d’étude entend nourrir le chantier de l’histoire du corps « colonial », celui du colonisé et celui du colonisateur, en s’interrogeant plus spécifiquement, tant le champ est vaste, sur la question de leur définition et des politiques de prises en charge du corps qu’elles supposent. C’est de l’histoire
culturelle, assurément, mais comment se priver de l’histoire sociale, politique, voire même paradoxalement de celle des idées ? Et comment, dans une histoire coloniale, laisser de côté la dimension économique, celle de l’exploitation des corps, de leur contrôle ? Le corps n’est-il pas le lieu d’exercice et d’inscription de tous les pouvoirs ? Il est aussi celui des résistances et des réappropriations, coloniales ou postcoloniales. Le but est également de resituer le corps et les systèmes genrés qui l’accompagnent au cœur des modes de vie des différentes communautés.

Le XIXe siècle et le début du XXe furent le théâtre d’une véritable « ruée vers l’eau ». Plusieurs régions riches en patrimoine sourcier profitèrent de cet engouement : l’Auvergne, les Pyrénées, etc.
Moins généreusement dotée, l’Île-de-France ne bénéficia pas, ou trop peu, de cette dynamique nationale. De nos jours, hormis l’établissement thermal d’Enghien-les-Bains et quelques eaux de source embouteillées à Brignancourt, Chelles, Franconville et Saint-Lambert-des-Bois, les traces de cette époque entreprenante sont modestes.
Pourtant, les initiatives furent nombreuses : des sources franciliennes ont été exploitées pour leurs vertus bienfaisantes alléguées, sous forme de bains ou sous forme de boissons consommées directement au griffon ou embouteillées, parfois même dans le cadre de rituels de dévotion.

Les discours du soin

Discourses of Care: Care in Media, Medicine and Society

Call for Papers

Gilmorehill Halls, 9 University Avenue, University of Glasgow, G12 8QQ
Monday 5th – Wednesday 7th September 2016

Deadline for proposals: Friday 3rd June 2016



Keynote speakers:

Prof. Eva Feder Kittay, Stony Brook University NY

Prof. Andrew Kötting, artist and filmmaker, University for the Creative Arts


This Wellcome-funded interdisciplinary conference aims to support and foster collaborative work in relation to media and questions of care and well-being, focusing on care and care giving as critical concepts. Bringing together scholars from film and television studies, medical humanities, disability studies, and philosophy, we will debate how understandings of medical and social care are (and might be) positioned in relation to media and cultural studies. This would be a significant first step toward building inter-disciplinary alliances and driving forward work within the as yet under-determined field of ‘visual medical humanities’.
The specific focus of the conference and anticipated publication/s is to explore the ways in which media do more than simply represent care and caring (although representation, of course, remains an important issue). Taking a new approach, the conference will explore how media forms and media practices (the creation, exhibition and reception of media) may act as a mode of care. Thus we wish to explore how different kinds of media programming, media technologies and media practices present opportunities in which care is manifest as both an ‘attitude’ and a ‘disposition’ (Feder Kittay).
The event will underpin at least one multi-authored publication. Through this conference we will explore the politics and ethics of care-relationships and contest binary understandings of autonomy and dependency amongst individuals with cognitive and physical disabilities, carers and medical professionals. We are particularly interested in the nexus of youth (the ‘child’), age (the ‘aged’) and disability as a way of opening up alliances and challenges to popular cultural notions and representations of care and dependency.
We are now looking for academics, care providers, and creative practitioners of all levels, periods, and fields to submit proposals for 20 minute conference papers. We invite papers on topics that include (but are not limited to):

• Relationships between care and media
• Definitions of care in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries
• Autobiographical representations of and reactions to care
• Disability studies approaches to care and dependency
• Media practices and outputs as modes of care
• Care and the visual medical humanities
• Adaptive technologies and care
• Spectatorship, care, and media
• Care, media, and children
• Care, media, and ageing
• Use of media in health education and rehabilitation
• Consumer ‘choice’ and ‘autonomy’ in popular culture
• Screen cultures in our ‘institutions of care’ (e.g. the NHS and the BBC).

Please email an abstract of up to 300 words and a short bio (100-200 words) to the conference organisers (discoursesofcare@gmail.com) by Friday 3rd June 2016. The conference team will respond to proposals by Friday 10th June 2016. There are a limited number of travel bursaries available for postgraduate and/or early career presenters; the recipients of these grants will be asked to write a short reflection on the conference, which will be published on the Glasgow Medical Humanities Research Centre blog, and the conference website.

If you wish to be considered for one of the travel bursaries, please email us for an application form and submit it with your abstract and bio. We will contact all respondents on the outcome of their proposal by the end of June 2016. Thanks to funding from the Wellcome Trust, this conference will be free to attend.

The conference venue, the Gilmorehill Building, is fully accessible, and the conference will include accommodations such as pre-circulated papers and discussion topics, ending with an interactive roundtable discussion. For more information on access, transport, and the venue please visit our website. If you have any questions, please email the conference team at discoursesofcare@gmail.com, or contact us via @CareDiscourses.

Conference team: Prof. Karen Lury (Film and TV), Dr Amy Holdsworth (Film and TV), and Dr Hannah Tweed (English Literature).

Les sciences sociales et les transformations contemporaines de la santé

Savoirs, pratiques, politiques. Les sciences sociales et les transformations contemporaines des mondes de la santé

Colloque international 

Organisé par le Cermes3 à l’occasion du trentième anniversaire de la création du Cermes. 

Du 25 au 27 mai 2016

Lieu : EHESS et Université Paris Descartes

Le Cermes a été la première unité pluridisciplinaire de sciences sociales de la santé créée en France, en 1986, avec le soutien de l'Inserm, du CNRS et de l'Ecole des Hautes en Sciences Sociales et, plus récemment, celui de l'Université Paris Descartes. A l'occasion de cet anniversaire, le Cermes3 organise une conférence internationale dont l'ambition est de revenir sur ces trois décennies de recherches sur les transformations des mondes de la santé, leur actualité et leurs perspectives. La conférence portera sur quatre registres de transformation qui ont fait l'objet de travaux importants et qui constituent autant d'enjeux pour l'avenir, en l'occurrence les processus de molécularisation, de politisation, de régulation et de mondialisation de la santé.
