  New perspectives on maternity

  Comparative approaches - sciences and literature

  Ce cycle de séminaire est l’occasion de faire dialoguer humanités et sciences autour de ce que le concept de maternité implique tant au niveau des pratiques qu’à celui des représentations, de manière à déconstruire les discours traditionnels qui s’articulent autour de normalité / anormalité. Il s’agira d’explorer, au-delà de tout système d’opposition, les grands topoï liés à la maternité : le fait de donner naissance, la maternité à travers les âges, les corps des femmes et l’allaitement, la maternité et l’éthique, la violence des mères et l’homoparentalité féminine.

  Gendering Humanitarian Knowledge

  Global Histories of Compassion from the Mid-Nineteenth Century to the Present

  The conference invites scholars to think about the notion of "humanitarian knowledge" in a multidisciplinary way, by combining perspectives such as gender history, the histories ofemotions and the body, literary and visual culture studies, global health history, as well as the history of institutions and their agents. All of them are useful to explore the transnational networks through which humanitarian practices and ideas have been promoted, disseminated and standardised.The conference brings together scholars interested in working on the history of humanitarian knowledge from a gender perspective. The interventions deal with stories of flesh and blood, which put women’s and men’s humanitarian experiences at their centre, in order to inscribe their local practices within a global history of compassion from the mid-nineteenth century to the present.
