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.

Audiovisuals and internet archives: Histories of healthy bodies in the 21st century
The Audiovisuals and internet archives: Histories of healthy bodies in the 21st century spring school invites young researchers to engage in four days of intensive discussion and hands-on activities on the relation between the history of the healthy body, body politics, and the Internet at the turn of the twenty-first century (roughly 1990s-2010). The spring school will take a transnational perspective and focus on developments in Germany, France and Great Britain. In building the historical foundation of the Internet era in the BodyCapital perspective, we will encounter new modes of representations and practices of the body that the Internet favored: webcam uses, first artist creations, reuse of traditional contents (photographs and films), amongst others.

Tele(visualising) health: TV, public health, its enthusiasts and its publics
The conference aims to bring together scholars from different fields (such as, but not limited to, history, history of science, history of medicine, communication, media and film studies, television studies) working on the history of television in Great Britain, France and Germany (West and East) (the focus of the ERC BodyCapital project), but also other European countries, North and South America, Russia, Asia or other countries and areas. Papers might focus on one national, regional or even local framework. Considering the history of health-related (audio-) visuals as a history of transfer, as entangled history or with a comparative perspective are welcome. The organizers welcome contributions with a strong historical impetus from all social and cultural sciences.

Excess? Images of body, health, morality and emotions across the media
A central goal of the workshop is to open up an international exchange and to connect perspectives from the history of science, the history of emotions, the history of the body and media history in order to shed new light on a history of health as a cultural history. The event is part of the research project “The Healthy Self as Body Capital: Individuals, Market-Based Societies, and Body Politics in Visual Twentieth Century Europe” funded by the European Research Council under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (Advanced Grant agreement No 694817) led by Christian Bonah (University of Strasbourg) and Anja Laukötter (Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Berlin).

Broadcasting health and disease
Bodies, markets and television, 1950s-1980s
In the television age, health and the body have been broadcasted in many ways: in short health education films, school television, professional training materials, TV ads, documentaries, reality TV shows and news, as well as stand-alone videos distributed to specific audiences. This three-day conference proposes an exploration of how television formats have influenced and staged bodies, health and healthy practices from local, regional, national and international perspectives, and how these TV programmes spread the conviction that viewers could and should invest in their health and shape their own body.

Reconstitution - heuristic processes and/or an object of mediation?
Les entreprises de reconstitution ont permis d’appréhender des phénomènes historiques difficilement saisissables par le seul truchement des archives, de restituer et de mettre en situation des gestes, des objets en mouvement, des processus, des événements disparus. L’histoire des techniques s’est particulièrement intéressée à cette démarche sous des formes diverses : maquettes, spectacles, mises en scène, films, que l’apport des outils numériques de la 3D a également enrichis et complétés. Or, ces objets se trouvent au croisement de pratiques assez diverses, tant dans leurs productions que dans leurs usages : alors que la recherche fait de leur élaboration de véritables processus heuristiques, ils sont aussi produits à des fins de valorisation dans des contextes muséaux ou de médiations plus « grand public ».

Les représentations médiatiques de l’agriculteur et de l’agriculture
Revue Études rurales
Ce numéro de la revue « Études rurales » a pour objet les représentations qui entourent la figure de l’agriculteur depuis l’apparition d’une presse moderne à la fin du XIXe siècle. Ce dossier a pour objectif de répondre à la question suivante : comment les médias contribuent-ils à un travail d’unification symbolique de cette profession ? Quelle est leur contribution à la construction d’une figure unitaire du monde agricole par-delà ses divisions ? Ce numéro s’articule autour de deux axes. Le premier s’attache à questionner à partir des représentations médiatiques la construction socio-historique du métier d’agriculteur dans sa pluralité et ses différentes temporalités. Le second se focalise sur les usages des médias et sur la question de la construction des groupes.

"Reviews and Empire". The COLOREV Project
Ce projet a pour objectif d’analyser les revues coloniales aux XIXe et XXesiècles, c’est-à-dire à partir du moment de leur véritable naissance et déploiement jusqu’à nos jours. L’idée est de s’interroger sur l’importance et la portée véritable des revues relatives aux sciences juridiques, sociales, économiques et politiques, littéraires, historiques et médicales, qui ont pourtant été délaissées dans les recherches historiographiques au profit de l’étude d’œuvres majeures comme les « romans » ou les monographies spécialisées d’auteurs de référence. Nous avons déjà fait plusieurs manifestations sur le sujet et constitué une équipe internationale. Le but de ces journées est à la fois d'échanger et de « monter » un projet européen pour le soumettre à une demande de financement. L'équipe est ouverte et peu donc accueillir au fur et à mesure de l'avancée du projet de nouveaux membres.

Women, gender and the information and communication technologies
Bien que des travaux pionniers aient contribué depuis quelques années à éclairer plusieurs aspects de la construction genrée des technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC), la place des femmes et du genre dans l’histoire des technologies de l’information et de la communication reste encore largement à penser et à écrire, que ce soit le rôle et les représentations des deux sexes en matière de recherche, de conception, d’utilisation, de consommation ou d’usages.

Comparative approaches and unpublished objects
Dans la continuité des séminaires précédents, les historiens grenoblois proposent une nouvelle session pluridisciplinaire autour des thèmes de la mémoire et du patrimoine dans leurs rapports à l'histoire et à l'écriture des temps, un domaine où les usages recouvrent des enjeux forts et parfois contradictoires. La session 2013 met l'accent sur le patrimoine sonore, musical et scénarisé en lien avec le Pôle Images, sons du LARHRA ; un patrimoine vécu autant que pratiqué, une histoire mise en acte et en spectacle. Une entrée originale sera proposée avec un objet inédit dès lors qu'il est envisagé sous cet angle : l'histoire de la Nationale 7. L'autre entrée originale est l'intervention des écologues qui depuis quelques années structurent une réflexion riche sur d'autres formes de patrimoine et de patrimonialisation. L'occasion d'un croisement pluridsiciplinaire fécond dans les méthodes et les démarches au-delà des seules SHS.

Climate and Weather: Science as Public Culture
Scientific Communication and its History – III
This conference is the third in a series devoted to historical and contemporary perspectives on the communication of science and technology. Climate and weather provide a particularly rich and challenging case study to complete the conference series. As with other disciplines studied during the previous conferences, the climate sciences are characterised by complexity: in their professional networks; their conceptual models; and the logistics of their large-scale data and computing needs. Yet few modern scientific disciplines attract the same level of public engagement, in both everyday life and passionate debate on the future of the planet. Moreover, their status at the intersection of policy, scientific controversy and the public sphere is not a recent development: the same issues and fault lines ran through meteorology from the 18th-century onwards. Shifting interests within the history of science and the development of environmental history have greatly expanded the field in recent years. The conference will provide an opportunity to reflect on these historiographical developments via a specific focus on the communication of weather and climate from the 18th to the 21st centuries. The conference will address three themes in particular: Commodification of meteorological knowledge, Media, and Historicizing climate history. -

L'histoire des sciences « par en bas »
Centré sur des acteurs « modestes » ou « profanes » dont il s’agit de repenser l’action dans l’histoire, le colloque qui se déroulera du 5 au 7 juin 2013 à l'université du Maine (Le Mans) a pour objectif d'étendre les perspectives de l’histoire « par en bas » aux sciences de l'homme et de la nature (entre le XVIIIe et le XXe siècles) et d’ouvrir une réflexion collective sur les implications méthodologiques et théoriques de ce type d'approche. Si l'ensemble des sciences de l'homme sans exclusive pourra être pris comme objet, les contributions devront s'inscrire dans les pistes de recherches proposées : l'histoire des acteurs marginaux, celle des médiateurs, celle des modes de circulation et d'appropriation des savoirs, celle des publics comme acteurs de la science. Elles devront également comporter une réflexion d'ordre méthodologique.
