Locating Medical Television: The Televisual Spaces of Medicine and Health in the 20th Century
ONLINE CONFERENCE
Conference website: http://bodycapital.unistra.fr/activites/locating-medical-television/
Medical television programmes, across their history, have had specific relationships to places and spaces:
On the one level, they have represented medical and health places: consulting rooms, hospitals, the home, community spaces, public health infrastructures and the rest. As television-producers have represented these places, there has been an interaction with the developing capabilities of television technologies and grammars. Moreover, producers have borrowed their imaginaries of medical and health places from other media (film, photographs, museum displays etc.) and integrated, adjusted and reformulated them into their work…
Attendance is open to anyone interested in the topic, please register.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Television prospered upon a tension between education and leisure, which was especially acute in a socialist context. Televisions began to appear in homes in Eastern Europe after its stabilization as a socialist “block” dominated by the USSR. However diverse by nature and history, all the socialist regimes shared common strategies of mass propaganda, i.e. the intensive use of media to convert people and transform collective/individual behaviours. Television was supposed to be a new tool allowing direct normative shaping of every citizen, but some circles also blamed it for stimulating the disarticulation of the class/work/political collective...

20 mai 2019, 20hImages du corps dans le film de santé : faire voir, faire peur, faire avecFilms de prévention, films d'information, films de formation... la Santé et la médecine ont généré de nombreuses images à destination du grand public ou des professionnels. Revenons sur la manière dont le corps a été représenté dans cette production abondante. "Faire voir" pour apprendre; "faire peur" pour prévenir; "faire avec" pour témoigner.
ERC BodyCapital members Joël Danet and Tricia Close-Koenig, along with Ludovic Strappazon (DNUM, Université de Strasbourg), will present the work on and with medical films in the ERC BodyCapital project and with the MedFilm film platform.

27 February – 1 March 2019Tele(visualising) Health: TV, Public Health, its Enthusiasts and its PublicsTelevisions 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.

10-11 December 2018From body capital to the Internet. New media, new modes of representation, new usesERC BodyCapital is a research project centred on audio-visual representations of the body in the twentieth century, up to the birth of YouTube in 2005. BodyCapital considers the birth of the Internet as the point at which film and television were succeeded as modes of mass communication, wherein a new space for democratised content and new forms of expression and sociability was created and developed. The Internet has foregrounded both the broad potential of multimedia and the logic of networking practices for the mass audience. It has consequently opened up a new field of distribution within and responding to known structures (institutions, companies, traditional media) whilst reconfiguring relationships between the mass media and its publics. In this sense, Internet has established a mode of interactivity, inspiring individual initiatives through the creation of personal sites.
