    Women and madness under the Ancien Régime

    À la différence de la folie masculine, souvent plus « cérébrale » et parfois même admirée, le discours médical inscrit historiquement la folie féminine dans la nature même de la femme, folle dans son corps, mais aussi folle de son corps. Cette pathologisation du désir féminin, perçu comme une menace, est un moyen de contrôle et de domination qui va bien au-delà de la sexualité ; toute femme qui sort de la place qui lui est assignée dans l’ordre social ou moral, décidé par les hommes, est ainsi vite soupçonnée d’être folle. Artistes, mystiques, intellectuelles, femmes politiques ou femmes errantes ou de mauvaise vie, celles qui semblent refuser les normes genrées sont ainsi couramment désignées comme des furies, des hystériques ou encore des lunatiques ? La SIÉFAR propose  de lancer une vaste enquête sur un sujet qui ne fait qu’émerger.

    Social sciences debating health and discussing care: Euro-american perspectives and transatlantic dialogs

    This event hopes to further discussions on the role of the State in the implementation of public health policies. We will also look into the responses given to these policies, whether they are judged too interventionist (denouncing dispossession of knowledges described as traditional) or insufficient (demanding for comprehensive and equitable care). We seek to to analyze the changes coming from the "left hand" of the State, in the contemporary neo-liberal framework, its genesis and its historical counter-examples. After a first day of sessions dedicated to scientific presentations, in a multidisciplinary framework open to all social sciences, the symposium also aims to open a space for exchanges with civil society. We would also like to take into account the international circulation of notions –  as expressed by the phrase "obstetric violence", which both owes much to Latin American spaces and have had its meaning changed through such circulations.
