Risk and disaster in health and medicine

Call for papers on all aspects of risk and disaster in the history of health and medicine, including its changing definition and the movement towards its quantification, covering epidemics, infectious and chronic disease, injuries and mental health. The articulation between personal risk, diagnosis and prognosis throughout history and health risks affecting communities of all sizes is, we believe, a key issue. We encourage contributions treating national and chronological differences and shifts in the definitions, perceptions and representation of risks and dangers, considered globally and according to race and ethnicity, gender, class, and professional status.

Producing knowledge, governing populations

Anthropology, science studies and health policies

Le colloque « produire du savoir, gouverner des populations » propose d’ouvrir, ou plutôt d’élargir un espace d’échanges entre tenants de ces deux courants que sont l’anthropologie de la santé et les science studies autour de l’evidence based-medicine : quels sont ses apports, ses limites, mais aussi ses contraintes ? Comment vient-elle chaque jour produire, imposer ou recomposer les normes et les standards de soins, redéfinir nos représentations de la santé, du corps, des maux qui nous affligent ou changer nos systèmes de valeur ou les politiques qui définissent les actions mises en place par nos systèmes de santé ?

Psychotic Experiences, Religion, and Spirituality

This conference is centered on reported or observed psychotic experiences and discusses the ways in which religious and spiritual idioms are mobilized by patients, as well as by medical and psychological practitioners and religious healers in their therapeutic relations. Overall, the conference covers a significant variety of social, institutional and cultural contexts. As an expected result, we should be able to better understand the ways in which culture and social institutions contribute to the shaping of individual psychotic experience, and how they create dynamics of integration and exclusion. In addition, by inviting social scientists and medical practitioners to confront their perspectives, we would like to question what appears to be the underlying constructivist stance on many recent perspectives on religious experience and spirituality linked to psychotic states.
