News New dates : 11-13 november 2020 Locating Medical Television UPDATE: THE CONFERENCE WILL BE AN ONLINE EVENT; DETAILS TO FOLLOW SOON. An International Conference organised by ERC BodyCapital & the Science Museum Dana Research Centre 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. More details For further information or to register, contact Tricia Close-Koenig tkoenig(a)unistra.fr. [+] More

Projections of Health and Welfare on the Socialist and Post-Socialist Screen An ERC BodyCapital conference, Paris, 18-20 June 2020, co-organised with the Centre d'études des mondes russe, caucasien et centre européen (EHESS) 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...

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.
