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.

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.

The archaeology of media, ecologies of attention

L’attention que nous sommes conduits à porter aux divers objets constituant notre monde conditionne la façon dont nous nous comportons envers eux. Si les problèmes d’économie de l’attention sont aujourd’hui à la mode, il reste à comprendre l’immense diversité des multiples écologies attentionnelles développées par les sociétés humaines, celles que nous héritons du passé, celles qui coexistent dans notre présent et celles qui s’esquissent pour l’avenir. Bien entendu, dès lors que nos attentions (individuelles, conjointes, collectives) passent le plus souvent par des dispositifs médiatiques (depuis le prêche, le livre, le journal, le cinéma, la radio, la TV, jusqu’au PC, au smartphone et aux Google Glass), on ne peut comprendre ces écologies attentionnelles sans étudier les environnements médiatiques qui les conditionnent.
