  Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Food Information, Communication and Education

  The aim of the conference is to explore issues arising from the informational, communicational and educational practices which contribute to the circulation of knowledge about food.

  Bodies, markets and television, 1950s-1980s

  The three-day conference aims to investigate how television programmes in their multiplicity approached issues like medical progress and its limits, healthy behaviour or new forms of exercise by adapting them to TV formats and programming...The conference seeks to analyse how television and its evolving formats expressed and staged bodies, health and fitness from local, regional, national and international perspectives. How spectators were invited not only to be TV consuming audiences, but how shows and TV set-ups integrated and sometimes pretended to transform the viewer into a participant of the show. TV programmes spread the conviction that subjects had the ability to shape their own body.

  Which sports tourism? The makings of a contemporary experience of the elsewhere

  IIe journée du CERCE « anthropologie du sport »

  The society of production is giving way to a consumer society in which leisure activities are gaining in popularity. Free time thus tends to turn into time which is used to groom one’s body, and the « civilization of leisure » generates its own culture (Dumazedier, 1964). In this way, sports as a form of leisure hold a particular place within our society. The “sportivization” of society, from a cultural and economic aspect, generates an expansion and a renewal of the different types of sporting leisure activities (increase in the number of sporting practices and diversification of the sporting techniques’ employed), following recreational (Corneloup, 2011) or body-oriented (Rauch, 1988) goals, but also connecting with the environment, whether it be urban or natural.

  Drogues & cultures

  Conférences internationale organisée par l'OFDT et la Chaire Santé de Sciences Po

  La description du phénomène drogues s’est beaucoup développée au cours des dernières décennies. Mais les éclairages permettant de mieux comprendre la grande variabilité des usages et des manières de les appréhender manquent encore... Afin de progresser dans ce sens, l’Observatoire français des drogues et des toxicomanies et la Chaire Santé de Sciences Po ont choisi de réunir, autour de la thématique « drogues et cultures », des chercheurs en sciences humaines et sociales.
