  Seminar - History

  Building a history of public health

  Le séminaire se consacre à la construction de la santé publique du XIX^e au XXI^e siècle dans une perspective historienne. Il prend pour objet les processus politiques – de la police médicale à l’hygiène publique et à la gouvernance sanitaire contemporaine – et les dynamiques sociales à l’œuvre dans l’élaboration d’un ensemble de savoirs, de pratiques, d’institutions et de dispositifs de santé publique. Il s’intéresse à l’élaboration des catégories d’analyse qui en rendent compte et aux débats historiographiques qui en relèvent.

  “Medicalized” Childbirth as a Public Problem

  Risk Culture(s), Gender Politics, Techno-Reflexivities

  Obstetrical knowledge, technologies and practices have dramatically transformed women’s reproductive experiences worldwide. Medicalization of childbirth was accelerated in the XX^th century by the displacement of childbirth from home to the hospital, and by the generalization of surgical techniques and pharmaceutical products. Medical interventionism took multiple, situated forms. Relying on cross-cultural investigations and field data from diverse national contexts (France, USA, Italy, Brazil, Senegal, Turkey, Switzerland, Canada…), this international workshop investigates how “technological” birth came into being, and how it is produced, problematized, framed, and negotiated in the XXI^st century.
