Broadcasting health and disease
Bodies, markets and television, 1950s-1980s
The three-day conference aims to investigate how television programmes in their multiplicity approached issues like medical progress and its limits, healthy behaviour or new forms of exercise by adapting them to TV formats and programming...The conference seeks to analyse how television and its evolving formats expressed and staged bodies, health and fitness from local, regional, national and international perspectives. How spectators were invited not only to be TV consuming audiences, but how shows and TV set-ups integrated and sometimes pretended to transform the viewer into a participant of the show. TV programmes spread the conviction that subjects had the ability to shape their own body.

le big data et la médecine personnalisée engendrent de nombreux problèmes éthiques : confidentialité et respect de la vie, découvertes incidentales ou fortuites pour d’autres maladies, gestion des données génétiques notamment vis-à-vis du système de santé, de nos assurances et des employeurs... Cette médecine personnalisée sera-t-elle accessible à tous ? L’éthique sera le fil rouge de cette journée consacrée au big data.
