  Making children?

  Human procreation and family planning and the challenge of the evolution in values in the 20th century

  Aidé par les progrès technologiques et médicaux accomplis au cours du XX^e siècle dans le domaine de la contraception, de l’avortement, de la stérilisation et de l’aide médicale à la procréation, l’homme (et, de plus en plus, la femme) des sociétés occidentales s’est progressivement approprié la maîtrise de sa fécondité. Cependant, cette appropriation ne s’est pas déroulée sans heurts. Ainsi, la question de savoir par qui, quand, en quel nombre, dans quelles conditions, dans quel but mettre des enfants au monde, et même si on devrait le faire, a fait l’objet de réflexions individuelles et de conflits sociaux et a pu recevoir, au cours des décennies, des réponses fort différentes.

  Criminal Law and Emotions in European Legal Cultures

  From the 16th Century to the Present

  This two-day conference seeks to historicize the relationship between law and emotions, focusing on the period from the sixteenth century to the present. It aims to ask how legal definitions, categorizations and judgments were influenced by, and themselves influenced, moral and social codes; religious and ideological norms; scientific and medical expertise; and perceptions of the body, gender, age, social status. By examining the period between the sixteenth century and the present day, this conference also seeks to challenge and problematize the demarcation between the early modern and the modern period, looking at patterns and continuities, as well as points of fissure and change, in the relationship between law and emotions.
