Théorie des signatures végétales
Guy Ducourthial
L'Harmattan
Juin 2016 • 672 pages
ISBN : 978-2-343-09472-4
On trouvera ici à la fois une histoire de l'élaboration de la théorie des signatures végétales et un exposé de son contenu à partir des principaux textes - généralement de Paracelse, mais aussi d'auteurs souvent tombés dans l'oubli, D. Sennert, J.P. Rhumelius, H.C. Agrippa, O. Crollius, G. B della Porta. Selon eux, la ressemblance entre la couleur, la morphologie ou encore la biologie de nombreuses plantes avec les parties du corps humain ou les diverses manifestations extérieures des maladies ne saurait être dû au hasard. Ces analogies doivent être interprétées comme des signatures de Dieu, afin d'informer les hommes des diverses vertus qu'elles contiennent.
La traduction dans la science
Translation in Science, Science in Translation
Call for Papers
International Conference
30-31 March 2017
Justus Liebig University Giessen
Deadline for applications: 31 July 2016
Invited speakers:
Dr Doris Bachmann-Medick (Giessen), Dr Maeve Olohan (Manchester), Dr Benedikt Perak (Rijeka)
In recent years, considerable scholarly attention has been drawn to interdisciplinary research between the fields of Translation Studies and History of Science, which has shed light on, for instance, the workings of scientific communities, the dissemination of knowledge across languages and cultures, and the transformation in the process of that knowledge and of the scientific communities involved. Translators are brought to the fore, and if they were once treated as anecdotal actors in scientific exchanges, they are now understood as key agents. The Translation in Science, Science in Translation conference precisely engages in all these questions suggested by the conversation between Translation Studies and History of Science, and understands language as a complex phenomenon that includes dialects, sociolects and disciplinary tongues, and science as encompassing the natural and the social sciences. The focus is from early modernity to the present, and the conference’s translational perspective also applies to movements across disciplines, and to communication between scholars and lays (Montgomery 2000, Elshakry 2013, Olohan 2014).
We particularly welcome proposals from scholars and PhD students working on regions and languages underrepresented in research on the following topics:
1. Scientific Translation over Time and Space
- Changes in the practice and norms of scientific translation over time, space and across disciplines.
- The role of translated texts in the appropriation of scientific knowledge.
- The impact of the language of science upon non-scientific language and everyday language on the language of science through translation (science communication).
2. Behind the Scenes: Actors and Strategies Involved in Scientific Translation
- Changes in translation policies: the role of scientific translators.
- The practice of individual and collective translation of scientific texts, spaces and networks of scientific translation (institutions, funding, freedom of research).
3. Scientific Translation as Epistemic Practice
- Scientific translation and epistemic change.
- Scientific translation and change within the scientific culture/community of the source text.
- Translating non-verbal material: images, illustrations, graphs and tables, photographs, etc.
- Scientific translation and the creation or reinforcement of cultural boundaries (Brisset 2000, Ramakrishnas 2010).
Proposals
Please submit an abstract of no more than 350 words along with a bio-bibliographical note (as a single PDF-file) by 31 July 2016 to translationinscience@gmail.com.
There are a limited number of grants to cover travel and accommodation expenses. Should you wish to be considered for one of these, please submit a short letter of motivation.
Organization
The conference is organized by Katharina Kühn (International Graduate Centre for the Study of Culture, University of Giessen), Dr Rocío G. Sumillera (Universidad de Granada), and Dr Jan Surman (Herder Institute, Marburg), in collaboration with the International Graduate Centre for the Study of Culture (GCSC), the Giessen Graduate School for Humanities (GGK), the Giessen Centre for East European Studies (GiZo), the Herder Institute for Historical Research on East Central Europe – Institute of the Leibniz Association, the Department for Cultural Studies at the University of Rijeka, and the University of Granada.

On 1 July 1916, the first day of the Battle of the Somme, British forces sustained 57,000 casualties, creating a medical emergency of unprecedented scale and severity.
On 29 June 2016 a new exhibition will open at the Science Museum, commemorating the centenary of this momentous battle and the huge medical and human impact of wounding during and beyond the First World War.
Wounded: Conflict, Casualties and Care will draw on the Science Museum’s extensive First World War medical collections as well as the words of the wounded and those who cared for them to explore the remarkable medical responses and innovations catalysed by this conflict.
Beyond the battlefields, the exhibition will also focus on the longer-term impact of the war on the soldiers who were left physically and mentally affected, and show how the medical lessons learnt still carry relevance today.

Allowances: £2,323 London Living Allowance Contract Type:
Temporary/Fixed term Contract Term: Full time
The Department of History is seeking to appoint two
Postdoctoral Research Fellows to undertake the research project as described in
the Wellcome Trust funded research grant proposal ‘Renaissance Skin’, led by
Professor Evelyn Welch (PI). This is a five year Wellcome Trust Senior
Investigator Award studying the wide range of ways in which skin, both animal
and human, was conceptualised and used in Europe between 1450 and 1700, a
period of enormous change in terms of global contacts and connections and
scientific innovation. There will be a team of three postdoctoral fellows (one
five-year senior position and two three-year junior positions which will rotate
over the five years) and an administrator who will support Professor Welch in
producing the research outputs, events and activities associated with this
project. The Senior Postdoctoral Research Fellow and one of the Junior Research
Fellows will begin work in September 2016 (the second Junior Fellow will be
appointed in 2018).
The project is European-wide and to assist Professor
Welch in her work, the postdoctoral fellows will collectively provide
linguistic competencies in either Latin, Spanish, German, Dutch or Portuguese
or other languages apart from French and Italian which would be of particular
benefit to the Renaissance Skin objectives. In addition to supporting Professor
Welch’s work, the Fellow will also undertake their own associated research.
They will be expected to undertake approximately three research trips per year
(within Europe), and undertake any other reasonable duties associated with the
project as required by the PI, or within the Department as required by the Head
of Department. There will be opportunities to contribute to teaching,
particularly at MA level.
Applicants may apply for either or both positions – if
you have a preference, please specify in your application.
The selection process will include a panel interview,
including a 10 minute presentation to the panel. Candidates selected for
interview will be asked to supply two writing samples.
Interviews are scheduled to be held on 09 August 2016 PM
(TBC)
For an informal discussion to find out more about the
role please contact Professor Evelyn Welch via evelyn.welch@kcl.ac.uk.

Angelo Mariani, le vin de coca et la naissance de la publicité moderne est la première biographieillustrée d'Angelo Mariani (1838-1914), génial pharmacien corse qui atteignit une renomméemondiale grâce à son vin de coca et à ses méthodes publicitaires révolutionnaires qui en font,à maints égards, le père de la publicité moderne.Le vin tonique Mariani à la coca du Pérou a connu un succès fulgurant à La Belle Époque. Ilconsistait en l'infusion de feuilles de coca dans du vin de Bordeaux. Devenu le médicament leplus en vogue à la fin du xixe siècle, il est également le précurseur du Coca-Cola. Car Marianiet ses produits atteignirent peu à peu aux États-Unis une notoriété encore plus forte qu'enEurope. Mais la Prohibition et des concurrents redoutables devaient bientôt porter un coupfatal aux ambitions transatlantiques de Mariani.Angelo Mariani, le vin de coca et la naissance de la publicité moderne est le premier livre à retracer toutes les étapes de cette histoire fascinante et pratiquement inconnue du grand public.
L'unité de la physiologie de Galien
Postdoc position in ancient medicine and philosophy: "The Unity of Galen's Physiology" (1,0 fte)
Call for applications
A PhD in Classics or (Ancient) Philosophy or History of (Ancient) Medicine; or a PhD dissertation in one of these fields already accepted by the PhD committee.
Galen of Pergamum (129–c.213 CE) may count as the father of western medicine, whose influence dominated medical history until well into the 19th century. But he saw himself as a philosopher no less than a doctor, and in his voluminous writings we find medical and philosophical perspectives combined. The NWO-funded research project ‘Human Nature: Medical and Philosophical Perspectives in the Work of Galen of Pergamum’ explores Galen’s view of human nature from a variety of perspectives: philosophical, physiological, anatomical, psychological, moral and religious. Apart from studying Galen’s position and its intellectual background, the project is designed to
contribute to present-day debates on well-being and illness, concepts of humanity in bio-ethics, the societal role of medicine and the doctor as well as multidisciplinarity and discipline-formation.
As a postdoc you will carry out the subproject "The Unity of Galen’s Physiology," focusing on the question how far Platonic tripartite psychology, Hellenistic anatomical work concerned with the nervous system and pneumatology have been integrated by Galen into a coherent theory. You will work under the supervision of the project leader prof. dr. Teun Tieleman and complete a monograph within three years. In addition, you will play your part as member of the core research team, which apart from prof.
Tieleman will consist of two post-doctoral researchers and a PhD student. As such, you will participate in and contribute to workshops and other activities related to the project. You will be based at the Utrecht Department of Philosophy and Religious Studies, section History of Philosophy, which provides a relevant, stimulating and internationally oriented research environment.

Les autres psychothérapies
Other Psychotherapies – across time, space, and cultures
Call for Papers
University of Glasgow, Mon 3 Apr 2017 – Tue 4 April 2017
The Wellcome Trust-funded Conference ‘Other Psychotherapies – across time, space, and cultures’ brings contemporary Western expertise into dialogue with psychotherapeutic approaches from ‘other’ spatially, historically or otherwise ‘distant’ cultures. The Conference Committee invites abstracts of up to 300 words for 20-minute presentations, to be submitted by no later than 31 August 2016.
Keynote Speakers:
Dr Chiara Thumiger, Classics and Ancient History, University of Warwick: ‘Therapies of the word in ancient medicine’
Dr Jennifer Lea, Geography, University of Exeter: ‘Building “A Mindful Nation”? The use of mindfulness meditation in educational, health and criminal justice settings’
Dr Claudia Lang, Institute of Social and Cultural Anthropology, Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich: ‘Theory and practice in Ayurvedic psychotherapy’
Dr Elizabeth Roxburgh, Psychology, University of Northampton: ‘Anomalous experiences and mental health’
University of Glasgow Organizing Committee:
Dr Gavin Miller, Medical Humanities Research Centre/English Literature
Dr Sophia Xenophontos, Classics
Dr Cheryl McGeachan, Geographical and Earth Sciences
Dr Ross White, Mental Health and Wellbeing
Papers should address one or more of the conference’s four themes:
1. Ancient approaches to psychotherapy
This theme seeks to explore ancient and medieval approaches to psychotherapy from the Egyptian and Babylonian world, the Graeco-Roman antiquity, the Chinese and medieval Islamic and Jewish traditions. It aims to foreground various ancient practices used in ‘the cure of the soul’, investigating the extent to which modern psychiatric techniques draw upon such wisdom traditions. Other key goals will be to distinguish diverse conceptions of selfhood required or advanced in psychotherapeutic settings, and to consider the borders between religion, medicine, and philosophy.
2. Geographies of Psychotherapy
We invite papers that wish to examine the development of psychological ideas and practices and their transformative effect over a range of (global) spaces, sites and places. Although not limited to such themes, we encourage critical debates into the uneven development of psychological practices over time and space, the changing spatialities of caring practices, embodied practices of healing, and writing psychotherapeutic geographies.
3. Postcolonial/Indigenous Psychotherapies
The emergence of different, competing schools of Western psychotherapy has been accompanied by rapid development in the capacity to share knowledge globally. Western psychotherapies are juxtaposed with forms of healing based on markedly different epistemic and philosophical underpinnings. This theme considers whether indigenous forms of healing in LMICs can be viewed as de facto psychotherapies. Attention will focus on the dynamics of power in post-colonial contexts and how this has influenced the perceived credibility of western vs indigenous forms of therapeutic/healing interaction.
4. Subcultural Psychotherapies
We invite critical engagement with the propensity to see subcultural participation (bodybuilding, gaming, body modification, BDSM, Goth, Emo, etc.) as cause or predictor of psychopathology. While remaining open to subcultural pathogenesis, we encourage exploration of subculture’s therapeutic/salutogenic dimensions, including the recovery/survivor movement, popular/mass culture, new religious movements, and anomalous experiences such as mediumship and therianthropy.
Abstract submission
Abstracts (.doc, .docx, .rtf) should be emailed to arts-otherpsychs@glasgow.ac.uk by no later than 31 August 2016 along with a short biography (100 words or less). Abstracts will be considered by the conference organizing committee, and notifications will be communicated by no later than 30 September 2016.
Journal Issue
There will be an opportunity for a selection of papers presented at the conference to be developed into a thematic issue of the international peer-reviewed journal Transcultural Psychiatry (http://tps.sagepub.com/) that will be entitled ‘Other Psychotherapies – across time, space, and cultures’.

Histoire du Montreal General Hospital
Joseph Hanaway & John H. Burgess
Hardcover: 664 pages
Publisher: McGill-Queen's University Press (July 1, 2016)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0773546855
ISBN-13: 978-0773546851
Officially founded in 1821, the Montreal General Hospital is recognized as a pioneering institution in North America for the many discoveries in medical research made there and for its early association with the Faculty of Medicine at McGill University – the first medical school in Canada. Covering nearly 200 years of history, The General relates the story of the hospital from its early development and founding to the transition and aftermath of its incorporation into the McGill University Health Centre in 1997. With contributions that show the perspectives of clinicians, nurses, surgeons, professors, and administrators, chapters chronicle the history of particular departments and specializations of the hospital, including cardiology, dermatology, endocrinology, neurosurgery, plastic surgery, obstetrics, emergency medicine, pathology, and radiology, as well as nursing, administration, and governance. Among the major turning points in the history of the hospital were the introduction of autopsy pathology by Sir William Osler, the debut of the electrocardiograph by Thomas Cotton in 1914, the discovery of a malignant tumour marker by Phil Gold and Samuel Freedman in 1965, its transformation from a community hospital serving anglophone Montreal to an internationally recognized academic centre during the 1950s and ’60s, and changes in governance due to the 1970 Quebec Medicare Act. Both a collective reminiscence and an extensive institutional history, The General is an engaging account of one prominent hospital’s origins over nearly two hundred years.

Renaissance de l'anatomie
CUIR Raphaël
Hermann éditeurs
316 pages
40 illustrations
Parution : 28 Juin 2016
ISBN 9782705692339 26,00 €
Ce livre est le premier à se concentrer sur un paradoxe des images anatomiques de la Renaissance au XVIIIe siècle : la mise en scène de squelettes et d’écorchés animés, bien que leur état suppose qu’ils ne soient plus en mesure de l’être. Cette approche met en lumière la profonde cohérence entre théorie de l’art et théorie de l’anatomie à la Renaissance, qui se développent dans le même cadre de pensée – la rhétorique humaniste – et sont déterminées par un concept philosophique dominant – le finalisme. Au finalisme scientifique correspond un finalisme esthétique et tous deux se complètent dans la conception des images anatomiques où ils se mêlent à un finalisme symbolique, d’ordre moral, eschatologique ou érotique. La mise en évidence d’une anatomie finaliste permet de distinguer l’émergence, à la fin du XVIIe siècle, d’une anatomie cartésienne. Elle renonce progressivement à la rhétorique finaliste de l’anatomie, elle fait abstraction de la vie et évacue progressivement toute connotation symbolique de l’image. Elle consacre ainsi la conception du corps comme objet de connaissance, déjà présente dans l’anatomie finaliste où, cependant, même disséqué, le corps ne cessait d’avoir une âme, d’être.

Description de la recherche
Dans le cadre du projet de recherche financé par les Instituts de recherche en santé du Canada (IRSC,
2015-2019) et intitulé Des institutions et des femmes : Évolution du nursing psychiatrique, 1912-1976, nous cherchons à recruter un(e) étudiant(e) à la maîtrise ou au doctorat pour travailler sur les archives de la Division des services psychiatriques (1962-1971) et du Comité de la santé mentale (1971-2005). Retraçant l’histoire du nursing psychiatrique au Québec à partir de l’analyse croisée des institutions d’accueil et de formation que furent l’Hôpital St-Jean-de-Dieu (Montréal), l’Institut Albert Prévost (Montréal) et l’Hôpital Robert-Giffard (Québec), ce projet de recherche cherche à mettre en évidence les conditions d’émergence d’une spécialisation des infirmières en psychiatrie avant et après l’instauration des politiques de déshospitalisation psychiatrique qui marquèrent la province au cours des années 1960-1970. Dans ce contexte, l’étude des activités de la Division des services psychiatriques, créée à la suite du rapport Bédard (1962), s’avère essentielle pour cerner le contexte et les conditions dans lesquelles le système québécois de santé mentale et de formation des professionnel(le)s a pu s’épanouir. Ce travail contribuera en outre à éclairer le rôle des instances et institutions politiques dans l’histoire des pratiques et de la formation des infirmières en psychiatrie au
Québec. Il participera en ce sens pleinement au projet de recherche mené par notre équipe et pourra
s’intégrer au webdocumentaire qu’elle vise à réaliser autour de ces questions.

Napoléon Ier et ses dentistes
Riaud Xavier
L'Harmattan (éd.),
Collection Médecine à travers les siècles
Paris, 2016, 200 p.
Combien de livres ont été écrits sur la médecine napoléonienne ? Des milliers. Combien de livres ont été écrits sur la chirurgie dentaire napoléonienne ? Aucun. Cet opus, dont Xavier Riaud, spécialiste de
la médecine sous le Premier Empire, est l’auteur, est le premier du genre.
Si la médecine prend un essor surprenant après la loi de 1794, la chirurgie dentaire n’en profite pas et reste à l’abandon. Pour exercer dans le respect de la libre concurrence, le paiement d’une simple patente suffit, laissant le champ libre à un charlatanisme florissant. Les plus démunis n’auront pas accès aux soins plus facilement pour autant et se verront même contraints pour subsister de monnayer leurs dents. Dans le même temps, la Grande Armée, engagée dans des combats partout en Europe, connaîtra les bienfaits d’une chirurgie maxillo-faciale de guerre qui prendra son envol sous
l’impulsion d’un Dominique Larrey, son chirurgien en chef à partir de 1812, toujours plus innovant et imaginatif.
Si les rois et empereurs de toute l’Europe se préoccupent de leur hygiène bucco-dentaire et s’entourent de praticiens confirmés, l’intérêt sociétal, s’il est en net progrès, se limite principalement aux villes et à une clientèle privilégiée. Ainsi, Napoléon n’a pas connu de problèmes dentaires sérieux avant son exil à Sainte-Hélène.
Son dentiste, Jean-Joseph Dubois-Foucou, ne lui faisait que des détartrages. Arrivé sur l’île en exil, le vainqueur d’Austerlitz, revenu à une échelle plus humaine après sa défaite à Waterloo, fera, à partirde 1816, abcès dentaire sur abcès dentaire.
Les infections à l'hôpital
From Microbes to Matrons:The Past, Present and Future of Hospital Infection Control and Prevention
Symposium
On 1st and 2nd September 2016 at the Royal College of Surgeons, London, a symposium will bring together historians, healthcare professionals and policy makers to consider the contemporary relevance of past infection control practices. As the first of its kind in terms of interdisciplinarity and subject matter, the symposium aims to forge new synergies between disciplines by reflecting on the historical lessons of antiseptic and aseptic practices in the nineteenth century, and the introduction of antibiotics and drug resistance in the twentieth. It examines the extent to which recent failures in hospital hygiene, as the focus of high profile hospital scandals, and critical levels of global antibiotic resistance have resulted in a current shift to a more ecological model of infection control originating in the nineteenth century (Healthcare Commission, 2007; Mid Staffordshire Inquiry, 2010). The symposium also takes on the task of suggesting innovative potential futures for infection control and prevention strategies.
Key questions of the symposium include:
· How have policies relating to infection prevention and control been implemented in practice and to what success?
· How have hospital hygiene methods and practices of infection prevention and control and post-operative wound care evolved and changed since the nineteenth century?
· How have practitioners and policy makers responded to challenges of the past?
· How have these methods and practices varied according to hospital and geographic location?
· Who have been the key players in hospital infection prevention and control?
Confirmed speakers include: Dr Thomas Schlich (James McGill Professor in History of Medicine at the Department of Social Studies of Medicine at McGill University); Dr Pamela Wood (Associate Professor, School of Nursing, Eastern Institute of Technology, New Zealand); and Neil Wigglesworth, (Deputy Director of Infection Prevention and Control, Guys’ and St Thomas’ NHS Trust, London).
There are a few places remaining for students and early-career researchers to attend the symposium free of charge. Places are limited and will be offered on a first come first served basis. Please contact Dr Claire L. Jones (Claire.l.jones@kcl.ac.uk) if you would like to attend or for any other information. Student and early-career Society for the Social History of Medicine travel bursaries are available to attendees who are SSHM members (https://sshm.org/bursaries/)
The symposium forms part of a Leverhulme Trust-funded research project “From Microbes to Matrons: Infection Control in British Hospitals, 1870-1970” based at King’s College London (co-PI Professor Anne Marie Rafferty) and the University of Glasgow (co-PI Professor Marguerite Dupree). It is generously supported by the Wellcome Trust and the Society for the Social History of Medicine.

Cesare Lombroso et l'anthropologie criminelle
Homo Criminalis. Cesare Lombroso et l'anthropologie criminelle en Italie
Juin 2016 • 366 pages
ISBN : 978-2-343-09045-0
Cesare Lombroso (1838-1909) est le psychiatre italien considéré comme l'inventeur de l'anthropologie criminelle. Doctrine fortement critiquée, elle fut bâtie pour comprendre le phénomène criminel dans son intégralité : dans ces termes, elle peut donc être estimée comme une étape fondamentale de l'actuelle criminologie. Fondée sur les écritures de l'auteur, cette analyse retrace les points essentiels du parcours de l'anthropologie criminelle dans le contexte positiviste du XIXe siècle italien.
