Food and Hospitals

An Historical Perspective

While contemporary grumblings about hospital food have become the quintessential hospital complaint, it is undeniable that a clean, warm bed, rest and the provision of food and drink, rather than medicines and therapies have always greatly increased hospital patients’ chances of recovery. Indeed diet has from the time of Galen been a central part of medical therapy. However, even if central to the day-to-day routine of hospitals, workhouses and asylums, food and drink continue to be overlooked in historical accounts of hospitalisation. This conference aims to foreground the role of food and drink in health care institutions in the past.

Heresies. The making of religious identities

Le colloque « Hérésies. Une construction d’identités religieuses » a pour ambition d’interroger la notion d’hérésie, d’étudier les phénomènes historiques traditionnellement appelés hérésies et d’examiner leur rôle dans la construction d’identités religieuses ou confessionnelles. Conformément aux traditions du CIERL, il traitera des trois monothéismes : judaïsme, christianisme, islam. Il s’articule sur quatre axes : approches méthodologiques ; discours hérésiographique ; canonicité ; hérésie et formes politiques.
