Tele(visualising) health: TV, public health, its enthusiasts and its publics

Televisions began to appear in the homes of large numbers of the public in Europe and North America after World War II. This coincided with a period in which ideas about the public’s health, the problems that it faced and the solutions that could be offered, were changing. The threat posed by infectious diseases was receding, to be replaced by chronic conditions linked to lifestyle and individual behaviour. Public health professionals were enthusiastic about how this new technology. TV offered a way to reach large numbers of people with public health messages; it symbolised the post war optimism about new directions in public health. But it could also act as a contributory factor to those new public health problems.

Emotional Bodies

A Workshop on the historical Performativity of Emotions

The idea that the body is the site in which emotions are expressed is an old one in Western Culture. However, shall we alternatively consider emotions as historical agents that have given meaning to systems of symbolic relations which we understand here as “bodies”? This three-day workshop seeks to explore the conception of emotions as cultural practices that do things and have the power of creating emotional bodies throughout history. With this aim in mind, we will examine the production of physical, social, political, artistic and literary bodies in connection with the changing meaning of social norms, cultural codes and institutions, and especially as the result of the work of emotions.

Seeing/knowing. New Perspectives on the Visual in the Sciences

Lectures series of the Centre Alexandre Koyré, Paris (2011)

L’essor considérable des études visuelles en science depuis quelques années est en partie une réponse aux interrogations épistémologiques posées par la place croissante de l’image dans la production et la vulgarisation scientifiques contemporaines : nouvelles technologies de visualisation, présence de plus en plus forte d’images, modèles et simulations dans l’enseignement et la recherche, la communication et la muséologie des sciences. Ces études sont un lieu d'échanges fertiles entre l’histoire et la sociologie des sciences et des techniques et l’histoire de l’art, de la photographie, du cinéma mais aussi l’histoire culturelle et des représentations. Ces croisements ont permis de faire émerger de nouveaux objets d’étude et de nouvelles façons d’appréhender et de mettre en perspective historique les « manières de voir » et les représentations visuelles en science.
