Abstract

PROSE Awards Literature Subject Category Winner, 2020

In the politically volatile period from the 1960s through the end of the twentieth century, Latin American authors were in direct dialogue with the violent realities of their time and place. Writing Revolution in Latin America is a chronological study of the way revolution and revolutionary thinking is depicted in the fiction composed from the eye of the storm.

From Mexico to Chile, the gradual ideological evolution from a revolutionary to a neoliberal mainstream was a consequence of, on the one hand, the political hardening of the Cuban Revolution beginning in the late 1960s, and, on the other, the repression, dictatorships, and economic crises of the 1970s and beyond. Not only was socialist revolution far from the utopia many believed, but the notion that guerrilla uprisings would lead to an easy socialism proved to be unfounded. Similarly, the repressive Pinochet dictatorship in Chile led to unfathomable tragedy and social mutation.

This double-edged phenomenon of revolutionary disillusionment became highly personal for Latin American authors inside and outside Castro's and Pinochet's dominion. Revolution was more than a foreign affair, it was the stuff of everyday life and, therefore, of fiction.

Juan De Castro's expansive study begins ahead of the century with José Martí in Cuba and continues through the likes of Mario Vargas Llosa in Peru, Gabriel García Márquez in Colombia, and Roberto Bolaño in Mexico (by way of Chile). The various, often contradictory ways the authors convey this precarious historical moment speaks in equal measure to the social circumstances into which these authors were thrust and to the fundamental differences in the ways they themselves witnessed history.

Abstract

Theatre/Archaeology is a brillant and provocative challenge to disciplinary practice and intellectual boundaries. It brings together radical proposals in both archaeological and performance theory to generate a startlingly original and intriguing methodological framework. It facilitates a new way of investigating landscape and cityscape, and notions of physicality, encounter, site and context. The book takes scholarly innovation to new levels. It is the result of a long-term, unique collaboration between a renowned archaeological theorist and a leading theatre artist. The result is a vibrant dialogic writing which bridges the scholarly/poetic divide.

Abstract

Nous sommes capables de fabriquer le passé à la demande, de le façonner autour d'images, d'objets, de reconstitutions, où le passé est, précisément, « rejoué ». Ces pratiques, inspirées par des imaginaires, s'inscrivent dans ce qu'il est possible d'appeler des « cultures de l'histoire », diverses selon les époques. Cet ouvrage les replace dans la longue durée et s'efforce de comprendre leur intensification contemporaine, liée aux transformations d'ensemble des rapports au passé. Les exemples sont pris notamment dans les domaines de l'archéologie, de l'iconographie, des commémorations, des fêtes et spectacles d'histoire.

Abstract

In this innovative analytical account of the place of emotion and embodiment in nineteenth-century British surgery, Michael Brown examines the changing emotional dynamics of surgical culture for both surgeons and patients from the pre-anaesthetic era through the introduction of anaesthesia and antisepsis techniques. Drawing on diverse archival and published sources, Brown explores how an emotional regime of Romantic sensibility, in which emotions played a central role in the practice and experience of surgery, was superseded by one of scientific modernity, in which the emotions of both patient and practitioner were increasingly marginalised. Demonstrating that the cultures of contemporary surgery and the emotional identities of its practitioners have their origins in the cultural and conceptual upheavals of the later nineteenth century, this book challenges us to question our perception of the pre-anaesthetic period as an era of bloody brutality and casual cruelty. This title is also available as open access.

Abstract

En 1900, les mots « infirmier » et « infirmière » étaient utilisés pour nommer le personnel non qualifié de l’hôpital et avaient le même sens que « garçon desalle » et « fille de salle ». En 1950, le terme n’est plus que féminin et désigne des travailleuses qualifiées dont la formation initiale assez longue a été certifiée par un diplôme d’État. Quelles ont été les raisons de cette mutation, qui a accompagné l’évolution de la médecine hospitalière et du droit de l’assistance ? Comment ce phénomène s’inscrit-il dans l’évolution de la société française de la première moitié du XXe siècle ? Pourquoi est-ce dans les hôpitaux de l’Assistance publique de Paris que cette dynamique a été forte au point que ses choix ont entraîné l’ensemble du secteur hospitalier du pays ? Comment cette professionnalisation s’est-elle effectuée ? Quelles ont été ses conséquences sur la vie de ces femmes ? Cet ouvrage associe une approche quantitative précise de l’institution hospitalière parisienne à l’étude des destins individuels de seize femmes soignantes. Par un jeu d’échelles, l’auteur définit le rôle de différents facteurs (l’origine géographique, le milieu social, la formation, le marché du travail, les guerres, etc.) dans la conception d’un métier qualifié. Afin de préciser les spécificités parisiennes, un chapitre est consacré à un autre grand ensemble hospitalier, les Hospices civils de Lyon, ce qui nous permet de suivre jusqu’à nos jours un groupe professionnel proche de celui des infirmières créé dans les années 1930 pour se substituer aux religieuses qui disparaissaient. L’auteur présente un groupe social de femmes dynamiques, confrontées aux difficultés de la vie mais aussi à un exercice professionnel passionnant, dont le tableau nous est ainsi brossé, sans que soit laissé de côté l’impact de la gestion menée par l’administration hospitalière.

Abstract

Children and Drug Safety traces the development, use, and marketing of drugs for children in the twentieth century, a history that sits at the interface of the state, business, health care providers, parents, and children. This book illuminates the historical dimension of a clinical and policy issue with great contemporary significance-many of the drugs administered to children today have never been tested for safety and efficacy in the pediatric population. Each chapter of Children and Drug Safety engages with major turning points in pediatric drug development; themes of children's risk, rights, protection and the evolving context of childhood; child-rearing; and family life in ways freighted with nuances of race, class, and gender. Cynthia A. Connolly charts the numerous attempts by Congress, the Food and Drug Administration, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and leading pediatric pharmacologists, scientists, clinicians, and parents to address a situation that all found untenable.

Abstract

Au cours des années 1960, les pays occidentaux s’engagèrent, avec des rythmes et des conceptions variés, dans un processus politique, médical et administratif visant à sortir les malades des hôpitaux psychiatriques. En opposition au modèle asilaire développé au xixe siècle, cette désinstitutionnalisation valorisait une prise en charge de la maladie mentale fondée sur les ressources communautaires et les services ambulatoires. Mais est-ce pour autant la fin de l’asile ? En retraçant l’histoire des modalités de sortie de l’asile dans le monde francophone du xixe siècle, cet ouvrage constate la nature mythique de la désinstitutionnalisation. Si on a bien fermé quelques asiles et libéré des malades mentaux pour les réintégrer dans la communauté, on était loin d’atteindre les ambitions des réformateurs de l’après-guerre. En Europe comme en Amérique du Nord, la déshospitalisation s’est en effet déployée tardivement par rapport aux proclamations théoriques et aux injonctions légales, à des rythmes différents selon les régions et de manière souvent conflictuelle. C’est sur les enjeux et les conséquences de ce phénomène historique majeur pour nos sociétés que revient cet ouvrage.

Abstract

What is the worldview of 16th century academic physicians, steeped in a tradition of medicine that dates back to antiquity? How does this vision relate to the episteme of similitude, specific to Michel Foucault during the Renaissance? This book sets out to answer these questions by illuminating the medical concepts of nature, man, health, and disease; by examining the logic of physicians, and their quasi-judicial reports on unusual cases ("mirabilia") likely to cause public scandal; finally, by studying their doctrine of signs. For them, universal and human nature is protean and unstable; in order to analyze it, they use logical instruments whose fundamental imprecision they recognize. Struggling with the signs that surround them - bodily symptoms, numbers from the great book of nature, weather clues, signatures, physiognomic signs - they develop a sophisticated semiology. This study reveals the finesse of these minds, their judgment for the most part circumspect, their flexible logic, a whole set of mental instruments which allow them to understand as best they can the functioning of the world and of the people of their time; an image of the mental activity of this period which contrasts with that of Foucault.
