Architecture, urbanisme et hygiène dans le Paris postrévolutionnaire

Ideals of the Body. Architecture, Urbanism, and Hygiene in Postrevolutionary Paris

Sun-Young Park


University of Pittsburgh Press
2018

Modern hygienic urbanism originated in the airy boulevards, public parks, and sewer system that transformed the Parisian cityscape in the mid-nineteenth century. Yet these well-known developments in public health built on a previous moment of anxiety about the hygiene of modern city dwellers. Amid fears of national decline that accompanied the collapse of the Napoleonic Empire, efforts to modernize Paris between 1800 and 1850 focused not on grand and comprehensive structural reforms, but rather on improving the bodily and mental fitness of the individual citizen. These forgotten efforts to renew and reform the physical and moral health of the urban subject found expression in the built environment of the city—in the gymnasiums, swimming pools, and green spaces of private and public institutions, from the pedagogical to the recreational. Sun-Young Park reveals how these anxieties about health and social order, which manifested in emerging ideals of the body, created a uniquely spatial and urban experience of modernity in the postrevolutionary capital, one profoundly impacted by hygiene, mobility, productivity, leisure, spectacle, and technology.

Séminaire

Ce séminaire vise à rendre raison de la floraison saisissante depuis le milieu des années 90 en histoire, sociologie, anthropologie, science politique, d’ouvrages consacrés aux questions du corps, de la santé, de l’administration du vivant. Elle incite à inventorier, par delà singularités apparentes et spécificités disciplinaires, les pensés et impensés communs à cette humeur du temps si soucieuse du destin du corps et du biologique. Ce séminaire se tient sous l’égide conjointe de la MSH Paris Nord et de la Fondation MSH-Paris, et a été intégré dans deux masters de l’EHESS.

Miser sur la couleur pour étudier l’histoire des corps permet d’explorer des systèmes de représentation d’une grande richesse et d’une forte cohérence, fussent-ils devenus totalement obsolètes aujourd’hui. Après avoir aimanté l’attention des médecins qui surinvestirent parfois sur elle dans les temps anciens, la « chromie » corporelle aux infinies variations ouvre aux chercheurs d’aujourd’hui un vaste champ de réflexion. Les contributions ici réunies en parcourent les principaux espaces, au moyen d’approches variées
et complémentaires.
Divisé en trois sections, le propos s’interroge sur les modes de signification de la couleur corporelle. Puis il explore les aspects pathologiques et physiologiques des maladies, des tempéraments ou des aspects « colorants » ou « décolorants », ainsi que les raisonnements tenus pour expliquer ces manifestations chromatiques. Enfin est présenté l’imaginaire des couleurs corporelles, manifesté par des textes et des images largement conditionnés par des valeurs symboliques.

Le colloque s’est tenu à l’université de Versailles – Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, à Paris et à Nanterre les 14, 15 et 16 mars 2018 avec le soutien de la Maison des Sciences de l’Homme (MSH) Paris-Saclay, de deux laboratoires*: le CHiSCO (université de Paris-Ouest – Nanterre) et DyPaC (université de Versailles – Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines), et de l’Ecole doctorale (ED 395) de l’université de Paris-Nanterre. La MSH Paris-Nord et l’Ecole doctorale ont permis, de surcroît, la publication de ces actes.

L'eugénisme en Russie

With and Without Galton: Vasilii Florinskii and the Fate of Eugenics in Russia

Nikolai Krementsov

OpenBook Publishers
2018

In 1865, British polymath Francis Galton published his initial thoughts about the scientific field that would become ‘eugenics.’ The same year, Russian physician Vasilii Florinskii addressed similar issues in a sizeable treatise, entitled Human Perfection and Degeneration. Initially unheralded, Florinskii’s book would go on to have a remarkable afterlife in twentieth- and twenty-first-century Russia.

In this lucid and insightful work, Nikolai Krementsov argues that the concept of eugenics brings together ideas, values, practices, and fears energised by a focus on the future. It has proven so seductive to different groups over time because it provides a way to grapple with fundamental existential questions of human nature and destiny. With and Without Galton develops this argument by tracing the life-story of Florinskii’s monograph from its uncelebrated arrival amid the Russian empire’s Great Reforms, to its reissue after the Bolshevik Revolution, its decline under Stalinism, and its subsequent resurgence: first, as a founding document of medical genetics, and most recently, as a manifesto for nationalists and racial purists.

Krementsov’s meticulously researched ‘biography of a book’ sheds light not only on the peculiar fate of eugenics in Russia, but also on its convoluted transnational history, elucidating the field’s protean nature and its continuing and contested appeal to diverse audiences, multiple local trajectories, and global trends. It is required reading for historians of eugenics, science, medicine, education, literature, and Russia, and it will also appeal to the general reader looking for a deeper understanding of this challenging subject.

La santé et la médecine au-delà des frontières

Beyond Borders: Health and Medicine in Historical Context

Call for papers

Date: 3-7 December 2019
Venue: Auckland New Zealand

This conference is located in Auckland New Zealand. Whilst New Zealand is far removed geographically from the epicentre of many significant past medical developments, we believe it is important to view the history of health and medicine in a broad international perspective, with ideas and systems taking on different forms in different contexts. It is this intersection between the local and international which will form a major theme of our conference.
This biennial conference is not exclusive in terms of its themes, and aims to reflect the diversity of the discipline of the history of health and medicine. We welcome papers from all areas of that history, including health systems, public health, indigenous health, mental health, biography, hospital history and nursing history. We also welcome papers/panels relating to medical museums/exhibitions.
Submissions from scholars across the range of career stages are welcome, especially those from postgraduate and early career researchers. We offer competitive travel grants to postgraduate students to attend the conference.

Call for Papers opens: January 2019

Please see our conference website for further details: http://anzshm2019.org/.
