The intelligence of poverty

The uses of money and resources in popular environments (19th-20th centuries)

La conception du rapport à l’argent et aux ressources des pauvres et des nécessiteux s’est modifiée au XIX^e siècle. La revue Les études sociales se propose de revenir sur quelques-uns des aspects de cette « intelligence de la pauvreté » et du rôle qu’ont tenu (et tiennent encore) les sciences humaines et sociales dans cette ingénierie à visée réformatrice et populaire, à travers un numéro spécial à paraître fin 2016.

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.
