Gender and contraception: what kind of (r)evolutions?

This event aims to explore the “(r)evolutions” that the diffusion of contraception in the world has generated. It also intends to acknowledge the renewal of research on contraception and abortion through the integration of a gender perspective. The material and legal access to methods and knowledge on fertility control might have led to changes in power relations in different social spheres. Considering contraception today leads us to, among other things, questioning representations of procreative autonomy and gender equality.

Heritage and psychiatry

Depuis une dizaine d’années en France, la multiplication des travaux de recherche sur l’histoire de la psychiatrie s’accompagne d’une mise en valeur nouvelle des archives produites par les hôpitaux psychiatriques. Ces établissements, longtemps considérés comme des lieux repoussoirs, construits en marge des villes ou dissimulés derrière de hauts murs, s’ouvrent aujourd’hui non seulement aux chercheur.e.s mais aussi au public, accueilli ponctuellement lors des journées du patrimoine ou toute l’année dans les musées ouverts au sein de plusieurs centres hospitaliers. Le succès rencontré par ces initiatives témoigne de l’intérêt suscité par le patrimoine médical, scientifique, technique, architectural et naturel des hôpitaux psychiatriques.

More than any other, the profession of engineer appears to encapsulate many of the transformations affecting contemporary India today. Engineers symbolise the rise of the so-called middle classes, and the manner in which India has positioned itself as an emerging power in the international labour market, as it has become one of the favourite destinations for major technology firms.
