Democracy, secularism and religion
By the historian and sociologist, Dominique Schnapper
Construire un lieu public commun à tous est apparu progressivement comme le moyen d’unir dans une même organisation politique les individus que leurs affiliations et leurs convictions personnelles opposaient les uns aux autres. Dans nos sociétés modernes ce principe démocratique s’inscrit entre particularisme et vocation universelle. Les habitudes communautaires couplées à des pratiques culturelles spécifiques peuvent créer une tension avec la modernité politique. Le renforcement de la démocratie passe alors par l’intégration républicaine et par une compréhension éclairée et une acceptation des valeurs qui la fonde.

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.
