  “Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere!”

  Féminisme, multiculturalisme et luttes contre les intégrismes religieux

  Si l’origine exacte de l’expression « good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere! » est incertaine, tantôt attribuée à l’actrice et scénariste américaine Mae West tantôt à la rédactrice en chef du magazine Cosmopolitan, Helen Gurvey Brown, elle a été reprise comme slogan par les féministes qui dénoncent la double norme sexuelle imposée aux femmes par les religions. Aujourd’hui quels que soient les intégrismes religieux (catholique, protestant, islamique, juif, hindouiste, bouddhiste, orthodoxe, etc.) ils partagent tous la volonté de maîtriser le corps et la sexualité des femmes dont l’existence aurait, selon eux, pour but unique la maternité.

  Women in the public space, 1800-1939

  Great Britain, Ireland, Empire and Commonwealth

  “The Angel in the House” is the image most commonly retained of British women in the nineteenth century. This reductive and repressive ideal, emerging from values propagated by the literary, religious, medical political discourses of the time, still persists today in the collective unconscious. Although this model has increasingly been questioned by researchers in the humanities, the focus has tended to be on the beginning of the 20th century. This one-day conference aims to pursue this still neglected area, bringing the Victorian and Edwardian woman further out of her “cloister” or “sphere”, and exploring the destinies of those women who occupied the public space in Great Britain, Ireland and, by extension, the Empire: activists, explorers, artists, writers and sportswomen to name but a few.

  Study days - Ethnology, anthropology

  From folklore to ethnology, a women's thing?

  Si interroger l’histoire de l’anthropologie sous l’angle du genre n’est pas faire œuvre de pionnier, poser la question en resserrant la focale sur le folklore et l’ethnologie du proche constitue une démarche plus inédite. Il s’agira en premier lieu de prendre acte du contraste que forme, des balbutiements de la discipline à nos jours, la place prise par les femmes. De l’invisibilité d’hier à la surreprésentation actuelle, l’on tentera de comprendre, en se fondant sur des portraits, individuels ou collectifs, l’incidence du genre dans les carrières de femmes ethnographes. Inversant la perspective, l’on envisagera également la manière dont une œuvre de folkloriste ou d’ethnologue peut participer d’une vie de femme.

  The Health of One-Parent Families in the UK from Black Report (1980) to 2010 Marmot Review

  La santé des familles monoparentales : du Black Report au rapport Marmot (1990-2010)

  The life expectancy of the English population has increased but health inequalities have increased at the same time (Marmot Review, 2010). Lone mothers with dependent children suffering from depression have been the subject of publications (Bebbington et al., 2003; Atkins, 2010). Yet, other determinants of health in connection with lifestyle such as smoking, alcohol and drug consumption, tiredness, sleeping disorder, obesity, nutrition, diet, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, cancer, mortality, the lack of leisure and outdoor activities have seldom been mentioned, are not well-documented or passed over in silence. Still, the health of lone mothers with dependent children, whether they have experienced a divorce or a separation or are widows is frailer than the health of women who are married or living as a couple (Beatson-Hird et al., 1989). In 2011 in the UK, there were two million (1.96m) one-parent families. The country has 18 million families (17.9m) with dependent children (ONS, 2012). Almost 92% of single-parent families are headed by mothers and the rates have marginally changed since 2001. The conference will aim at uncovering these phenomena and exploring them in the light of quantitative and qualitative studies for instance.
