    Call for papers - Early modern

    Images of the world, images in power: annotating and drawing equestrian ballet, from carrousel to horseback contredanse (17th-18th century))

    À partir d’un corpus de livres de fête conservés dans les collections Jacques Doucet de la bibliothèque de l’Institut national d’histoire de l’art (mais qui ne doit pas s’y limiter), ces journées d’études chercheront à saisir les enjeux de la notation du ballet équestre dans les premières décennies du XVIIe siècle et ses prolongements jusqu’à la fin du siècle suivant, dans une relation à l’histoire de la danse, mais aussi à l’histoire des sciences et à l’histoire politique. Articulant représentations figurées des cavaliers et des motifs dessinés par leurs déplacements, et représentations abstraites (lignes, points, schémas) déployés sur la page, ces planches présentent un réel intérêt pour la recherche sur les formes notationnelles de la danse.

    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.
