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.

Sacred science: Learning from the tree
Symposium for the European Society for the History of Science's conference
“Unity and Disunity” has been chosen as the main theme for the European Society for the History of Science's conference that will take place in London on September 2018. Within this framework, Trames Arborescentes has decided to participate by proposing a commented panel that will gather four speakers around the subject “Sacred science: Learning from the tree”. This panel traces the arboreal motif through time, using it as a means to reflect on unity and disunity of interaction between science, art and the sacred.

Colloque en l'honneur de Laurence Brockliss et Colin Jones
À l’occasion du vingtième anniversaire de la publication de ce livre et du départ en retraite de Laurence W. Brockliss, des collègues et anciens étudiants ont souhaité organisé un colloque en leur honneur. Ce livre représente un apport majeur à l’histoire de la médecine en intégrant les aspects sociaux, institutionnels et intellectuels pour construire une histoire renouvelée des savoirs à l’époque moderne. Il croise également les approches intellectuelles et culturelles des traditions historiographiques française et britannique et constitue un encouragement pour poursuivre ces échanges intellectuels.

Rationalité généalogique et statut social au temps des Lumières
La généalogie est un puissant idiome de hiérarchisation sociale dans l'Europe d'Ancien Régime et garde son efficace bien au delà des transformations sociales portées par l'âge des Lumières. On s'interrogera dès lors sur les transformations qu'a subies, dans l’espace temporel qui va de Fénelon à Kant, cette forme particulière de connaissance qu’est la raison généalogique, ainsi que les usages qu’en faisaient les différents acteurs sociaux.

Le siècle de la légèreté : émergences d’un paradigme du XVIIIe siècle français
Au dix-huitième siècle, le concept de légèreté semble envahir tous les domaines des connaissances humaines, de la morale à la physique, des inventions aérostatiques aux créations artistiques. Perpétuant cette image d’un âge léger, depuis le dix-neuvième siècle bourgeois, industrieux mais aussi nostalgique du temps des fêtes galantes, jusqu’à notre époque célébrant la frivolité (et la commercialité) des années de Marie-Antoinette et de Fragonard, le dix-huitième siècle français en sa légèreté n’a jamais cessé de séduire. Ainsi, qu’elle soit l’objet d’une conquête (scientifique, morale, esthétique, etc.) ou de constructions historiques, la légèreté du dix-huitième siècle s’impose comme un paradigme dont il s’agira de soulever les enjeux, dans une perspective critique et historiographique.

Ideas in movement: the role of conflict and commerce in the history of navigation
Following successful meetings in 2010 and 2012, Royal Museums Greenwich and the Royal Institute of Navigation are planning a third symposium to bring together current research in the history of navigation. 2014 sees the centenary of the beginning of the First World War. While this conflict provided a powerful stimulus for research and development in navigation, technological developments have also sprung from users and from commercial imperatives.

Climat et temps : la science comme culture publique
Communication scientifique et son histoire – III
This conference is the third in a series devoted to historical and contemporary perspectives on the communication of science and technology. Climate and weather provide a particularly rich and challenging case study to complete the conference series. As with other disciplines studied during the previous conferences, the climate sciences are characterised by complexity: in their professional networks; their conceptual models; and the logistics of their large-scale data and computing needs. Yet few modern scientific disciplines attract the same level of public engagement, in both everyday life and passionate debate on the future of the planet. Moreover, their status at the intersection of policy, scientific controversy and the public sphere is not a recent development: the same issues and fault lines ran through meteorology from the 18th-century onwards. Shifting interests within the history of science and the development of environmental history have greatly expanded the field in recent years. The conference will provide an opportunity to reflect on these historiographical developments via a specific focus on the communication of weather and climate from the 18th to the 21st centuries. The conference will address three themes in particular: Commodification of meteorological knowledge, Media, and Historicizing climate history. -

La médecine de cour : personnel de santé et politiques sanitaires en Europe, XVe-XVIIIe siècle
Court medical practitioners changed in numbers, occupations and functions during the Renaissance and early modern period (15c-18c) practitioners focused on different specialities within body-care, and took on different roles in the government of Europe’s states. Building on recent work that has concentrated on the history of body care at courts, this workshop will explores changes in court medical politics, practices and practitioners and the consequences they had for, firstly, medical thought, regulation and practice and, secondly, the activities, management and evolution of early modern states. -

Pour une histoire comparative de la régulation des risques industriels, XVIIIe-XIXe siècles
If comparison between national or regional contexts has been a driving force for the historiography of the « industrial revolution », and if environmental history has been immediately written on a global scale, the evolution of environmental and risk regulation is often studied according to the national, regional or local scales of the institutions producing the regulations. The aim of this workshop is to invite historians to consider how comparison could advance our understanding of the different ways of regulating risk and environment. -

Développement des ressources électroniques
Royal Museums Greenwich in partnership with Cambridge University is developing a JISC-funded project, "Navigating 18th-Century Science and Technology: The Board of Longitude", which will create an online resource based on the extraordinary archives of the British Board of Longitude (1714-1828). The proposed resource will draw on and make links between important collections held at Cambridge University Library (CUL) and Royal Museum's Greenwich (RMG). A key role in the development and delivery of the project will be the one-year, full-time position of Digital Resources Engagement Officer, who will forge the links between the partner collections and create engaging digital learning resources for a broad audience base. -

Puericulture, Biotypology and "Latin" Eugenics in Comparative Context
This One-day Workshop is organised by the History of Race and Eugenics (HRE) Research Group Oxford Brookes University. The study of eugenics and race is currently undergoing a remarkable transformation - one defined by society's need to engage with scientific advances and the ethical dilemmas they raise on the one hand, and the investigation of hitherto neglected case studies on the other. The inclusion and juxtaposition of national and international histories of race and eugenics lies at the heart of this international collaboration that strives to not only yield original and timely research on these neglected national case studies, but to redefine and diversify the overarching debates on these particularly turbulent periods of modern history. -

Convocatoria de ponencias - Estudios de las ciencias
In recent years, studies into experiences of health care have led historians to engage with the issue of the medical complaint. As expressions of dissatisfaction, disquiet and failings in service provision, the complaint is both a vital antidote to progressive histories of health care and, in generating contemporary investigation and debate, has also left a fertile seam for historical research. Often it is only when things go wrong that we begin to understand thecomplexity at work in past events. This two-day international conference will explore what has happened historically when medicine generated complaints. -
