Le corps dans l'Inde coloniale

The Body in Colonial India

Call for Papers

Deadline: June 12, 2018

Colloquium Date: July 7, 2018

This colloquium will examine the role of knowledge, including medical knowledge, in shaping bodily understandings and practices in colonial India. How did Indians and Europeans construct, transmit and challenge knowledge of the body and its associated bodily practices? How did the colonial encounter affect older forms of knowing and doing? How did knowledge of the body turn into a focal point for debates around personal and collective emancipation?

Presentations will consist of seminar papers by Erica Wald (Goldsmiths), Kate Imy (UNT) and Teresa Segura-Garcia (Uni. Pompeu Fabra) and a roundtable. Lunch will be provided to all participants. Registration is free courtesy of the University of North Texas, the Royal Historical Society, the Society for the Social History of Medicine (SSHM), and Goldsmiths. Travel assistance for this event may be available to graduate students and Early Career Researchers through the SSHM: https://sshm.org/bursaries/

Please send proposals (100-200 words) for 5-10 minute roundtable presentations to Kate Imy (kate.alison.imy@gmail.com) by June 12, 2018.

Special thanks to Julia Hauser (Uni. Kassel) for her indispensable contributions to this initiative.

This event has been generously supported by UNT-International, the Royal Historical Society, the Society for the Social History of Medicine, and Goldsmiths (University of London).

Le problème physiologique de la nutrition

Le problème physiologique de la nutrition et ses enjeux.

PAPADOPOULOU Fani

Hermann

15 x 23 cm
330 pages
Parution : 24 Mars 2018

D’une révolution scientifique à l’autre, de la révolution chimique de Lavoisier à la révolution physiologique de Claude Bernard, cet ouvrage décrit le développement des recherches qui, à travers discussions et controverses, vont donner à la biologie, à la médecine et à la société un nouveau visage. Cela se fait par le rapprochement de disciplines marquées par des philosophies différentes et sur un terrain, celui de la nutrition et plus généralement de l’alimentation, dont l’importance est actuellement plus manifeste que jamais.

Quel est le devenir des substances alimentaires à l’intérieur de l’organisme animal ? Telle est la question qui revient sans cesse pendant presque soixante ans, de 1789 à 1848. La découverte par Claude Bernard que le sucre de l’animal ne provient pas de son alimentation mais est produit par l’organisme marque un tournant décisif sur la voie de la constitution de la biologie moderne.

C’est la vie de la recherche médicale, avec ses voies multiples et sa nécessaire interdisciplinarité, ses impasses et ses entêtements, enfin ses succès, qui est restituée dans ce livre.

Les lettres de la pandémie de grippe de 1918

"In Flew Enza": Letters from the 1918 Flu Pandemic

Lecture

Thursday 31 May, doors 5pm (talk starts 5.30)

Derby Museum & Art Gallery, The Strand, Derby DE1 1BS

https://1918fluletters.eventbrite.co.uk

What was it like to live through the most deadly epidemic in recent memory? 2018 is the centenary of the “Spanish” flu, which infected 500 million people around the world and killed more people than died in the First World War. Join us for an evening of letters written by ordinary people who survived the epidemic, often caring for family members, some of whom died in this devastating outbreak. The event will be curated and introduced by historian Hannah Mawdsley, who is researching the social and cultural impact of the flu epidemic, and include readings by actors of recollections of nursing care from the archive written by people in Derby, Nottingham and beyond.

The event is free, and includes free refreshments, but tickets must be reserved in advance here: https://1918fluletters.eventbrite.co.uk

Call for papers

Joint Atlantic Seminar for the History of Medicine

October 5-6, 2018
Yale University

Yale University is pleased to host the 16th meeting of the Joint Atlantic Seminar for the History of Medicine on October 5-6, 2018 in New Haven. JAS Med is convened annually for the presentation of research by young scholars working on the history of medicine and public health. The meeting was founded in 2002 to foster a collegial community that provides a forum for sharing and critiquing graduate student research.

We welcome student presentations on any topic and we especially hope to receive submissions that speak to this year’s theme Networks of Health and Healing. This theme pulls our attention to the social relations of health and well-being that exist between traditional “nodes” of medicine and health care (i.e. hospitals, universities, and research institutions). These collectives of care might compliment established medicine in some way, or they might challenge it. They may be described as “innovative,” “dynamic,” and “intimate,” or as “alternative,” “pseudoscientific,” or “illegal.” Healing entanglements might exist within a family or a neighborhood, or they might transcend national boundaries. They may align with radical politics, but may also be ordinary ways of healing and surviving. We welcome historical projects from all time periods as well as scholarly work in adjacent fields including anthropology, sociology, public health, bioethics, law, gender and sexuality studies, and race, ethnicity, and justice studies.

Although they often lack the visibility of traditional medical nodes, networks of health and healing make up an important dimension of the history of medicine and public health that has to do with how people cared for themselves on a daily basis. Meaningful health relationships could exist beyond the walls of medical institutions and without the objective of inclusion in those institutions. Healing networks often appear in margins of medical institutional archives, and their silences tend to leave more questions than answers. What does care look like before and after the institution? How do communities provide for themselves when access to medical care is denied or cannot be trusted? How have people survived in medical care “deserts”? How is power concentrated or diffused within “unofficial” healing relationships? How do health networks connect to medical nodes? Who gets to define terms such as “network,” “health,” and “medicine”? What kinds of medical futures can be imagined in bottom-up or community-based health networks?

Topics encompassed by this theme include but are by no means limited to:

The circulation of medical knowledge
The exploitation and extraction of medical knowledge
Community responses to medical racism, sexism, classism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or gender binarism
Tools, technologies, and practices in the making of health communities
Health and medical activism
Alternative spaces and infrastructures of medical care
The labor of care
Health ideals and imaginaries

Abstracts of 300 words should clearly convey the argument, sources, and relationship to existing literature. Please submit online at https://jashistofmed.wordpress.com/abstract-submission/ no later than June 15, 2018.

Registration for the conference is free and is open until September 14, 2018.
