L’auteur a mis l’accent, d’une part, sur quelques figures marquantes précédant la création de l’Institut de psychologie – Jean Larguier des Bancels, Jean Wintsch, Jean Piaget, Pierre Jaccard, Lucien Bovet, Jacques Bergier –, sur son premier directeur – Jean-Blaise Dupont – et d’autre part sur les raisons qui ont amené les autorités universitaires de l’époque à soutenir cette création, ainsi que sur les contenus et les différents programmes d’études qui ont jalonné l’histoire de l’enseignement d’une psychologie devenue de plus en plus plurielle.

Cet historique est aussi un reflet de l’importance pour la société actuelle d’une psychologie professionnelle ouverte. Comment expliquer autrement l’attrait grandissant qu’elle suscite auprès des étudiants depuis cinquante ans ?

Les nombres parlent d’eux-mêmes : le petit institut consacré à la formation des seuls conseillers en orientation professionnelle et scolaire est devenu le plus grand de l’Université de Lausanne, puisqu’environ un étudiant sur dix suit la formation qu’il dispense.

About A Cultural History of Hair

How have our attitudes to hair changed over time? In what ways have new technologies influenced hair-related practices and beliefs? Is hair just about fashion or does it express social, spiritual, and cultural meanings? 

In a work that spans nearly 3,000 years these ambitious questions are addressed by 60 experts, each contributing their overview of a theme applied to a period in history. With the help of a broad range of case material they illustrate trends and nuances of the culture of hair in Western societies from ancient times to the present. Volume editors ensure the cohesion of the whole, and to make the set as easy as possible to use, chapter titles are identical across each of the volumes. This gives the reader the choice to gain an overview of a period by reading one volume, or to follow a theme through history by reading the relevant chapter in each volume.

The six volumes cover: 1 – Antiquity (600 BCE to 800 CE); 2 – Middle Ages (800 to 1450); 3 –Renaissance (1450 to 1650); 4 – Age of Enlightenment (1650 to 1800); 5 – Age of Empire (1800 to 1920); 6 – Modern Age (1920 to 2000+).

Themes (and chapter titles) are: Religion and Ritualized Belief; Self and Society; Fashion and Adornment; Production and Practice; Health and Hygiene; Gender and Sexuality; Race and Ethnicity; Class and Social Status; and Cultural Representations.

The page extent for the pack is approximately 1792pp. Each volume opens with Notes on Contributors and an Introduction and concludes with Notes, Bibliography, and an Index.

The Cultural Histories Series

A Cultural History of Hair is part of The Cultural Histories Series. Titles are available both as printed hardcover sets for libraries needing just one subject or preferring a one-off purchase and tangible reference for their shelves, or as part of a fully-searchable digital library available to institutions by annual subscription or on perpetual access (see www.bloomsburyculturalhistory.com).

Les archives audiovisuels et internet de l'histoire du corps

Spring School "Audiovisuals and internet archives: Histories of healthy bodies in the 21st century" 

Call for applications 

Université de Strasbourg, Strasbourg, France

1-4 April 2019

Deadline for application: 25 February 2019

The Audiovisuals and internet archives: Histories of healthy bodies in the 21st century spring school invites young researchers to engage in four days of intensive discussion and hands-on activities on the relation between the history of the healthy body, body politics, and the Internet at the turn of the twenty-first century (roughly 1990s-2010). The spring school will take a transnational perspective and focus on developments in Germany, France and Great Britain. 

The spring school is organized as part of the research project “The Healthy Self as Body Capital: Individuals, Market-Based Societies, and BodyPolitics in Visual Twentieth Century Europe (BodyCapital)” funded by the European Research Council (ERC) and led by Christian Bonah (University of Strasbourg) and Anja Laukötter (Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Berlin). 

In building the historical foundation of the Internet era in the BodyCapital perspective, we will encounter new modes of representations and practices of the body that the Internet favored: webcam uses, first artist creations, reuse of traditional contents (photographs and films), amongst others.

The spring school includes talks and workshops with experts, a field trips, and film viewings. Further, the spring school will benefit from collaboration with the French Institut National de l’Audiovisuel (INA). Confirmed speakers include Niels Brügger and Valérie Schafer. Participants will also be invited to present on their own research projects. 

The spring school will be held at the Université de Strasbourg, Strasbourg, France. It will be held in English. Participants may apply for funding to cover travel and accommodation expenses. 

Interested master’s students, doctoral students, post-docs, and scholars in the fields of modern history, the history of medicine and science, and film studies, media studies, and communications are invited to apply with a cover letter ­explaining what you can contribute to the spring school and what you expect or hope to get from it and a CV. 

Please send applications and any questions to: bodycapital.contact@gmail.com

The Body Populace. Military Statistics and Demography in Europe before the First World War

Heinrich Hartmann

Translated by Ellen Yutzy Glebe

MIT Press

Paperback

280 pp. | 6 in x 9 in18 figures

January 2019

ISBN: 9780262536325

How data gathered from national conscriptions in pre–World War I Europe influenced understandings of population fitness and redefined society as a collective body.

In pre–World War I Europe, individual fitness was increasingly related to building and preserving collective society. Army recruitment offered the most important opportunity to screen male citizens' fitness, raising questions of how to define fitness for soldiers and how to translate this criteria outside the military context. In this book, Heinrich Hartmann explores the historical circumstances that shaped collective understandings of fitness in Europe before World War I and how these were intertwined with a fear of demographic decline and degeneration. This dynamic gained momentum through the circulation of knowledge among European nations, but also through the scenarios of military confrontations.

Hartmann provides a science history of military statistics in Germany, France, and Switzerland in the decades preceding World War I, considering how information gathered during national conscriptions generated data about the health and fitness of the population. Defined by masculine concepts, conscription examinations went far beyond the individuals they tested and measured. Scholars of the time aspired to pin down the “nation” in concrete numerical terms, drawing on data from examinations to redefine society as a “collective body” that could be counted, measured, and examined. The Body Populace explores the historical specificity and contingency of data-gathering techniques, recounts their uses and abuses, and provides a timely contribution to the growing historiography of Big Data. It sheds light on a crucial moment in nineteenth and early twentieth century European history—when statistical data and demographical knowledge shaped new notions of masculinity, fostered fears of degeneration, and gave rise to eugenic thinking.

Révolutionner la psychiatrie 1960-1970

À contre-courant… révolutionner la psychiatrie, 1960-1970

Conférence de Marie-Claude Thifault

Cycle de conférences « La santé en débat. Recherches francophones en sciences humaines et sociales sur la santé », organisé par Alexandre Klein (Université Laval), Gabriel Girard (ESPUM) et Pierre-Marie David (Université de Montréal) dans le cadre des activités du réseau Québec Sciences Sociales et Santé (Q3S).

Jeudi 7 février 2019 à 17h 

Pavillon Paul-Gérin-Lajoie

Université du Québec à Montréal, salle N-8510.


Si tous les regards depuis les années 1960 convergent vers une lecture unidimensionnelle de la désinstitutionnalisation, c’est à contre-courant, en nous éloignant des approches dénonçant l’oppression institutionnelle en psychiatrie que nous nous intéressons au comportement de déférence s’y opérant. Alors que le devant de la scène est occupé par ceux et celles qui gonflent les statistiques symbolisant le vidage important des grands hôpitaux psychiatriques, à l’arrière-scène, demeurent dans l’ombre les nouvelles dispositions de rattrapage mises en œuvre au sein même de l’hôpital psychiatrique. Selon une logique contraire à l’optique de la désinstitutionnalisation, nous proposons d’explorer un « mouvement d’humanisation » qui se déploie au sein de l’hôpital psychiatrique. Cela en nous appuyant sur le croisement de différentes sources, précisément, les dossiers médicaux et les témoignages d’infirmières retraitées.

Lire et relire les dossiers nous a fait réfléchir sur les raisons qui pouvaient bien motiver l’entêtement des patients (dans certains cas) à agir de sorte à ne pas être libérés, tandis que les entretiens permettent de jeter un éclairage sur les « angles morts » du discours officiel d’une institution. C’est à partir de l’expérience et du point de vue des soignants et des soignés que nous proposons une histoire de Saint-Jean-de-Dieu sous l’angle de la résistance.
