  Medicine Anthropology Theory

  MAT – first issue online

  MAT seeks to rethink medicine, medicines, and medical systems in local and global contexts, within the broad fields of medical anthropology, science and technology studies (STS), and global health. In line with our commitment to open access, accepted articles (up to 10,000 words) will be written in clear language that makes insights available to a wide readership. The editors seek to publish work that innovates both theoretically and methodologically, or that revisits classical anthropological theory in thinking through contemporary problems. We also seek work from ‘applied’ anthropologists and activists working in sites outside of academia. Submissions undergo a double-blind peer-review process.

  Économie(s) de la collection naturaliste au XVIIIe siècle

  XIVe congrès international d’étude du XVIIIe siècle (ISECS), Section 7 / panel 4

  Au cours du XVIII^e siècle, l’étude de l’histoire naturelle connaît un essor considérable et devient une mode sociale et culturelle, dont la collection de spécimens des trois règnes se fait l’indispensable corollaire. Véritable dispositif de savoir, le cabinet se présente comme un espace de reproduction mimétique du monde naturel, dont il donne à voir et à lire, sur le mode de l’abrégé, la complexité de l’ordre naturel ainsi que ses beautés. Mais l’engouement concerne également des dispositifs de collection plus spécifiques, et de taille plus modeste comme, par exemple, l’herbier. Notre séance se propose de questionner les différentes formes de l’économie de la collection naturaliste au XVIII^e siècle. Il sera donc question d’interroger la circulation, l’échange et de la consommation d’objets d’histoire naturelle dans une perspective intellectuelle, sociale, monétaire et symbolique.

  Art & Archaeology

  International call for projects

  Under the program NEARCH, two calls for proposals on the theme of art and archeology have just been launched. The aim of the NEARCH project is to explore and strengthen the relationships between European citizens with archeology, particularly through art projects. In this context, the CENTQUATRE in Paris and the JAN VAN EYCK ACADEMIE in Maastricht therefore invite artists from all disciplines who are interested in the link between art and archeology, to apply for residency in their buildings.

  Standardizing Psychoactive Drugs And Drug Uses. 1900-1970

  Psychoactive drugs and drug treatments, within psychiatry, as well as those that have entered the public domain, have begun increasingly to attract the interest of historical researchers. An aspect of this research is the search for generalized concepts that can be used to understand the dynamics of the life-cycles of drugs. One such concept, and the focus of a new research program, sponsored by the European Science Foundation, is that of 'standardization'.
