  Broadcasting health and disease

  Bodies, markets and television, 1950s-1980s

  The three-day conference aims to investigate how television programmes in their multiplicity approached issues like medical progress and its limits, healthy behaviour or new forms of exercise by adapting them to TV formats and programming...The conference seeks to analyse how television and its evolving formats expressed and staged bodies, health and fitness from local, regional, national and international perspectives. How spectators were invited not only to be TV consuming audiences, but how shows and TV set-ups integrated and sometimes pretended to transform the viewer into a participant of the show. TV programmes spread the conviction that subjects had the ability to shape their own body.

  La santé en chiffres (XXe siècle) : des sciences sociales aux politiques sociales

  Cette journée d'étude s'inscrit dans le séminaire annuel de l'équipe « Santé et société » du laboratoire FRAMESPA, UMR 5136, CNRS-Univ. Toulouse II. Son objectif est d'explorer quelques facettes des liens entre la construction d'un savoir statistique en matière de santé et la (re)définition des politiques sociales et sanitaires au XXe siècle. Les questions abordées porteront notamment sur la configuration sociale de la production  des statistiques sanitaires au cours du siècle, le rôle et l'attitude des médecins (France et Espagne) après la Seconde Guerre mondiale vis à vis d'une approche chiffrée de la santé, les circulations entre outils de connaissance et outil de gestion institutionnelle ou de crise en matière sanitaire. Des exposés généraux seront complétés par plusieurs études de cas.
