    Locating medical television

    The televisual spaces of medicine and health in the 20th Century

    Medical television programmes, across their history, have had specific relationships to places and spaces. On the one level, they have represented medical and health places: consulting rooms, hospitals, the home, community spaces, public health infrastructures and the rest. As television-producers have represented these places, there has been an interaction with the developing capabilities of television technologies and grammars. Moreover, producers have borrowed their imaginaries of medical and health places from other media (film, photographs, museum displays etc.) and integrated, adjusted and reformulated them into their work.

    16 crossroads of the history of sport

    Il est aujourd'hui admis que mai 68 n'est pas seulement un moment fondateur mais le point d’orgue de mutations engagées dès le début des années 60 par la « génération du baby-boom ». La « culture jeune » devient rapidement une culture de masse, à une époque où l’accès aux études universitaires demeure réservé aux fils et aux filles des groupes sociaux dominants. La culture sportive est rarement présentée comme une caractéristique majeure de cette nouvelle génération. Pourtant, elle connaît un développement sans précédent sous l’effet de la politique scolaire et sociale menée par Maurice Herzog et sous l'effet de la mutation des loisirs et du temps libre. Les XVIe carrefours d’histoire du sport questionneront les apports de la génération du baby-boom sur le développement des sports et envisageront dans quelle mesure les mutations socio-culturelles des « sixties » concernent aussi le phénomène sportif.

  • Call for papers - Middle Ages

    Empire of letters and Tigers of parchment

    International Medieval Congress

    Script is not a neutral communication medium. Scripts were particularly used throughout the Middle Ages to stage the idea of Empire, power and domination. The writing has the ability to connote authority and Empire and to inspire respect. On the other hand, the scriptural domain is a world in itself with its coherence and history. The idea of an ‘Empire of letters’ may have emerged within this world too. Both parts of this “empire of letters” are relevant for the palaeographical sessions on the specific thematic strand of ‘Empire’ organised at the International Medieval Congress 2014 in Leeds and sponsored by Apices and Cap Digital.
