  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.

  The Trade in Luxury and the Luxury of Trade

  The production, display, and circulation of precious objects from the Middle-Ages to the present day

  Comment se produisent, s’exposent, se diffusent et se consomment les produits du luxe ? Le but du colloque est de revenir sur la question de la spécialisation progressive d’un commerce voué aux objets précieux. Il entend être une manifestation ouverte d’un point de vue chronologique, spatial et disciplinaire, faisant appel à des spécialistes d’horizons différents : histoire, histoire de l’art, économie, littérature, sociologie, etc. Il s’agira de montrer la richesse et la diversité de ce qui était (et reste) compris sous l’appellation de ‘luxe’ et d’observer comment se sont progressivement mis en place des marchés spécialisés. Deux approches spécifiques sont menées, d’une part les acteurs et les marchandises, d’autre part les lieux de vente et la puissance matérielle et symbolique attachée à ce secteur particulier de l’économie. Le colloque aura lieu les jeudi 22 et vendredi 23 novembre 2012 à Lyon (Musée Gadagne). La date-limite pour la soumission des propositions est le 31 décembre 2011.
