Accidents et urgences

Accidents and Emergencies: 

Risk, Welfare and Safety in Europe and North America, c. 1750-2000

Keynote speakers
Professor Bill Luckin (University of Bolton, UK)
Dr Arwen Mohun (University of Delaware, USA)

Context and aims

We live in a society obsessed with risk and safety. Via a medley of state-related and commercial agencies, we insure ourselves against the possibility of death, ill-health, accident, theft and unemployment, subjecting every facet of our lives to the calculus of risk. Meanwhile, a battery of signs, leaflets, manuals and adverts spread the message of ‘health and safety’, reminding us of the dangers lurking in our everyday actions.
Equally, notions of risk and safety go to the heart of our sense of collective welfare, and the complex relations of self, society and the State, and public and private agency. Indeed, for some sociologists, we live in a ‘risk society’, premised on the ‘reflexive’ processing of information, the prevention of the accidental and the unexpected, and the anxious desire to predict – even control – the future.

The aim of this conference is to take stock of the present by focussing on modern Europe and North America from roughly 1750 onwards. It welcomes:
 historians from all sub-fields (social, medical, cultural, etc.)
 scholars from other disciplines such as sociology and cultural studies.
Risk, welfare and safety have long been sites of historical inquiry. This conference takes this literature as its point of departure, and encourages both general and trans-national appraisals of the history and nature of modern ‘risk societies’, as well as accounts which focus on particular technologies, practices and discourses.

In sum, the aim of ‘Accidents and Emergencies’ is to:
- rethink the history of risk, welfare and safety;
- encourage a more integrated approach to their empirical study and conceptualisation;
- open up new historical and sociological perspectives through which we might better grasp the present.

Format and themes

This will be a three-day conference: 9, 10 & 11 September 2013, to be held at Oxford Brookes University and supported by the University of Portsmouth.

We intend that the papers should be pre-circulated, in a draft form of around 5,000 words (though we appreciate this will not be possible in all cases).

Papers – conceptual and empirical – are invited which address one or more of the following themes:

1. Conceptualising and historicising ‘risk society’: the work of Beck, Giddens, Luhmann and Ewald – and others
2. The politics of risk and solidarity: liberalism, social democracy and neo-liberalism
3. Selling risk and safety: mixed economies of welfare, and the insurance and safety industries
4. Statistics, temporality and the calculus of risk: histories of actuarial probability
5. Industrial risks (i): pollution and the environment
6. Industrial risks (ii): technology and workplace accidents
7. Shock, trauma and sensation: representing accidents and emergencies
8. Logistics of risk and safety: emergency services and technologies
9. Preventing accidents (i): surveillance, inspection and maintenance
10. Preventing accidents (ii): health and safety education
11. Transnational risks and exchanges: policies, innovations and institutions
12. Key words: meanings of ‘safety’, ‘risk’, ‘probability’ and ‘accident’ in particular contexts
Over the three days we would like speakers to raise the salient issues of their papers in order to leave as much time as possible for discussion and feedback. The conference language will be English.
We intend to publish a selection of the papers in the form of an edited volume or special issue of a journal.

Exposition sur la dissection

Doctors, Dissection and Resurrection Men

19 October 2012 – 14 April 2013

In 2006, archaeologists from the Museum of London excavated a burial ground at the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel. What they found was both extraordinary and unexpected.

The excavation revealed some 262 burials. In the confusing mix of bones was extensive evidence of dissection, autopsy, amputation, bones wired for teaching, and animals dissected for comparative anatomy. 

Dating from a key period – that of the Anatomy Act of 1832 – the discovery is one of the most significant in the UK, offering fresh insight into early 19th century dissection and the trade in dead bodies. Passed amid deep public fear following a notorious case of murder for dissection, this fiercely-debated Act gave the State the right to take ‘unclaimed’ bodies without consent, and remained almost entirely unchanged until the Human Tissue Act of 2004.

Now, 180 years later, you can uncover this intriguing story in Doctors, Dissection and Resurrection Men, a major new exhibition at the Museum of London. Bringing together human and animal remains, exquisite anatomical models and drawings, documents and original artefacts, the exhibition will reveal the intimate relationship between surgeons pushing forward anatomical study and the ‘Resurrection men’ who supplied them; and the shadowy practices prompted by a growing demand for corpses.

You’ll discover the story of Bishop, Williams and May – London’s Burke and Hare – and find out how the excavation findings shed new light on the case of an alleged resurrectionist, who died in prison while his wife protested his innocence. You’ll also pore over unrivalled evidence of surgery and amputation – before anaesthetic – and of dissection, anatomical teaching and students practising their craft. 

As the exhibition draws to a close, you’ll be encouraged to debate the Anatomy Act, reflect on medical ethics and cultural attitudes today, and ask what questions still remain in 2012.

It may leave you asking: who really owns your body?

Neurologie et psychiatrie

Journée scientifique : vendredi 19 octobre 2012

« Apports réciproques de la neurologie et de la psychiatrie »

Resp. : Céline Lefève/Romain Schneckenburger

Bâtiment les Grands Moulins, hall C

En 2005, Th. Insel, le directeur de National Institute of Mental Health proposait de définir la psychiatrie comme une "clinical neuroscience". Ce faisant, il s'agissait de gommer la distinction classique entre les troubles cérébraux organiques (objets de la neurologie) et les troubles cérébraux fonctionnels (objets de la psychiatrie). Un tel projet s'appuie sur la révolution épistémologique des trente dernières années où, pour reprendre la célèbre expression d'un historien des sciences américain, la psychiatrie impute la maladie mentale non plus "à la mère" mais "au cerveau". Il est vrai que les sciences du cerveau (prises au sens large) ont profondément modifié la conception de la psychiatrie (ne serait-ce qu’à travers la psycho-pharmacologie) et ont conduit à un rapprochement entre neurologie et psychiatrie qui partagent des préoccupations communes, tant sur le plan théorique (explications neurocognitives de phénomènes cliniquement identiques : dépression, délire, troubles des fonctions supérieures) que sur le plan pratique (utilisation de même molécules : anti-dépresseurs pour soigner les douleurs neurogènes, anti-épileptiques pour les troubles maniaco-dépressifs ; utilisation des mêmes techniques : stimulation cérébrale profonde pour la maladie de Parkinson et les TOC invalidants, imagerie cérébrale). S'agit-il pour autant d'un retour pur et simple à la conception des rapports entre neurologie et psychiatrie tels qu'ils étaient décrits au 19ème siècle, notamment par Griesinger ? Pour ce dernier, neurologie et psychiatrie ne se différenciaient pas par nature mais uniquement par le lien privilégié qu'entretenait la psychiatrie avec deux institutions particulières: le tribunal et l'asile. L'enjeu de cette journée sera donc d'examiner, à travers l'analyse d'exemples précis, l'intrication des discours et des pratiques en neurologie et en psychiatrie ainsi que leur originalité respective.

Histoire du handicap aux Etats-Unis

• 

  A Disability History of the United States

  
  
• Kim E. Nielsen is a professor of history and women’s studies at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay.
• 
  
• Hardcover: 272 pages
• Éditeur: Beacon Press (2 octobre 2012)

By placing the experiences of people with disabilities at the center of the American story, A Disability History of the United States fundamentally reinterprets how we view our nation’s past. Throughout the book Kim Nielsen illustrates how concepts of disability have deeply shaped the American experience—from deciding who was allowed to immigrate to establishing labor laws and justifying slavery and gender discrimination. The book abounds with compelling stories pulled from primary documents and social histories to retell American history through the eyes, words, and impressions of the people who lived it. Included are absorbing—at times horrific—narratives of blinded slaves being thrown overboard and women being involuntarily sterilized, as well as triumphant accounts of miners organizing strikes and disability rights activists marching on Washington.

Engrossing and revelatory, A Disability History of the United States reconstructs our nation’s story—from a narrow master narrative to a shared history that encompasses us all. As Kim Nielsen writes, disability is “our story, the story of someone we love, the story of whom we may become, and it is undoubtedly the story of our nation.”
