Bibliothèque des sciences et de l’industrie – Hygiène mentale, hygiène sociale

Bibliothèque des sciences et de l’industrie – Hygiène mentale, hygiène sociale

 

Après  « Phrénologie », « Théorie de la dégénérescence » et « Femmes et sexualité au 19e siècle », la Bibliothèque des sciences et de l’industrie met en ligne 128 documents sur le thème « Hygiène mentale, hygiène sociale »

A travers cette sélection sur l’hygiène, il nous a semblé important de restituer le mouvement hygiéniste du 19e siècle dans sa capacité à mobiliser les médecins, mais aussi l’administration, la législation, la police, l’éducation, l’architecture, l’urbanisme… ce dont témoigne la très grande diversité de formes et de contenus des publications.

Ainsi le corpus présente à la fois des ouvrages scientifiques, des thèses de médecine, des rapports administratifs… à destination des scientifiques et des pouvoirs publics, mais aussi des livres d’hygiène populaire et des manuels destinés à la jeunesse.

Scientifica propose aussi le « Coin des enfants », livres et albums de littérature scientifique pour enfants et le « Cabinet de curiosité », florilège représentatif de la diversité des fonds de la Bibliothèque.

Scientifica est réalisée par la Bibliothèque d’histoire des sciences de la Cité des sciences et de l’industrie

Bourse – Travel Fellowship in the History of the Academic Health Center & Health Sciences

 

University of Minnesota, 2010-2011

Purpose: The Travel Fellowship in the History of the Academic Health Center & Health Sciences at the University of Minnesota is intended to promote research on post-World War II developments in academic health centers and health science research using the University of Minnesota Archives. The University of Minnesota Program in the History of Medicine in conjunction with the Academic Health Center History Project (http://z.umn.edu/ahcarchives) will offer up to two fellowships per year to interested scholars whose research is well suited to the health science and administrative collections in the University Archives. Where possible, preference will be given to early career scholars: graduate students in the research stage of their dissertation and recent Ph.D.s.

University of Minnesota Archives Holdings: The University of Minnesota Archives http://special.lib.umn.edu/uarch/ house numerous collections related to the history of the Academic Health Center (AHC), its forerunning administrative configuration the College of Medical Sciences, and the records of the six schools and colleges that comprise the Academic Health Center: medicine, nursing, public health, pharmacy, dentistry, and veterinary medicine. The Archives also house collections pertaining to interdisciplinary centers within the Academic Health Center and oral histories and personal papers of prominent faculty and administrators.

Finding aids for many of the collections at the University Archives can be found at http://special.lib.umn.edu/uarch/. Digital documents related to the AHC and University administration are available through the University of Minnesota Digital Conservancy at  http://conservancy.umn.edu/ . Applicants are encouraged to contact AHC Archivist Erik Moore at  moore144@umn.edu to discuss the collections before applying.

Application and Expectations: Applicants must submit a curriculum vitae, names and contact information of two referees, a brief proposal of no more than two pages, and a one-page proposed budget. The one- to two-page proposal should outline clearly the purpose of the research and its central questions, what records or materials will be used, any bigger project of which this research is a part, and the intended product(s) such as a dissertation, publications, or documentaries.
Selection of fellows will be based on the decision of a multi-disciplinary committee.

Fellowship recipients will be required to submit a short report on their research and asked to present their work in progress with interested faculty, staff, and students while visiting at the University. Recipients are also required to supply the University Libraries with a copy of any publication resulting from research conducted as a result of the grant.

Duration and Support: The fellowship covers a flexible visit of between one to four weeks. The amount of the fellowship is up to $1,000.00 to support expenses related to travel, lodging, research costs, and other incidental expenses. The fellowship is available for a single, continuous research trip between the dates July 1, 2011 and June 30, 2012.

Dates:

Deadline for applications is June 1, 2011. Candidates will be informed of the results by June 30 and the fellowship will be available immediately.

Appel à contribution – Graduate Conference on the History of the Body

Appel à contribution – Graduate Conference on the History of the Body

 

The Graduate History Association and the Department of History at Washington University in St. Louis are pleased to announce the inaugural Graduate Conference on the History of the Body, to be held October 20-21, 2011.

In 2001, Roy Porter remarked that body history had become the « historiographical dish of the day. » Ten years on, histories of the body continue to flourish. Often working at the interstices of a number of methods and approaches, the field has produced innovative and compelling articulations of the body as a category of historical analysis. As thinking about bodies has occasioned ongoing encounters, clashes, and border-crossings between a variety of disciplines, this conference aims to promote conversations across scholarly divides by showcasing and reflecting on graduate-level scholarship on the history of the body, in all periods and regions, and from a variety of methodological approaches. We invite papers related to a broad number of thematic areas, including but not limited to:

*normality and deviancy

*medicine and disease

*sexuality and reproduction

*food

*blood and race

*physical space

We’re also pleased to announce Professor Mary Fissell, renowned historian of medicine at the Johns Hopkins University, as the conference keynote speaker. Professor Fissell’s first book, Patients, Power and the Poor (Cambridge 1991), examined how patients’ choices shaped a health-care system in the eighteenth century. Her more recent Vernacular Bodies (Oxford 2004) explored the politics of reproduction in early modern medicine. Professor Fissell’s current project involves Aristotle’s Masterpiece, for three centuries the best-selling book about sex and reproduction. Her address will be held in conjunction with the Washington University in St. Louis Department of History Colloquium Series.

Graduate Students in any field of study are invited to submit proposals for individual research papers. Abstracts of approximately 250 words should be submitted online: http://history.artsci.wustl.edu/GHA/Conference. The deadline for submissions is June 1, 2011.

Colloque – Vaccination, Society and Politics

5 avril 2011 in Colloques | Permalink

Colloque – Vaccination, Society and Politics

 

Berlin, 28-30 April

Vaccination, Society and Politics. Sociopolitical developments and the implementation of new medical practices- analyzed through the practice of vaccination.

Organized by Berlin School of Public Health and Institute of the History of Medicine, Charité Universitätsmedizin.

In 2007, the Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine was the first of its kind after a decades search to prevent a cancer, cervical carcinoma, to be officially recommended by the German government.While it is an important step in individual cancer prevention, this vaccine also adds a new milestone to vaccination history itself.

The symposium seeks to examine the complexities of the supposedly existing paradigm change in vaccination practice through a historical and sociopolitical lens. Presentations will combine the current historical and social science research on vaccination practice on societal and individual levels with the analysis of the different political and social contexts in which vaccination has been carried out.
