Using as his example post-World War I Italy and the government's interest in the size, growth rate, and "vitality" of its national population, David Horn suggests a genealogy for our present understanding of procreation as a site for technological intervention and political contestation. Social Bodies looks at how population and reproductive bodies came to be the objects of new sciences, technologies, and government policies during this period. It examines the linked scientific constructions of Italian society as a body threatened by the "disease" of infertility, and of women and men as social bodies--located neither in nature nor in the private sphere, but in that modern domain of knowledge and intervention carved out by statistics, sociology, social hygiene, and social work. Situated at the intersection of anthropology, cultural studies, and feminist studies of science, the book explores the interrelated factors that produced the practices of reason we call social science and social planning. David Horn draws on many sources to analyze the discourses and practices of "social experts," the resistance these encountered, and the often unintended effects of the new objectification of bodies and populations. He shows how science, while affirming that maternity was part of woman's "nature," also worked to remove reproduction from the domain of the natural, making it an object of technological intervention. This reconstitution of bodies through the sciences and technologies of the social, Horn argues, continues to have material consequences for women and men throughout the West.

Jean Bérard (1908-1957), fils de l’helléniste Victor Bérard et ancien membre de l’Ecole française de Rome (1933-1936 et 1939-1940), a refondé l’étude de la colonisation grecque en Italie méridionale et en Sicile, sujet de sa thèse de doctorat d’Etat (1941). Il a été le premier à présenter de manière rationnelle et critique l’étude des sources littéraires antiques sur ce phénomène majeur de l’histoire de la Méditerranée. Il a su aussi - dans la seconde édition de son livre en 1957 (année de sa mort accidentelle et prématurée) - saisir les perspectives nouvelles ouvertes par la recherche archéologique. De nombreux chercheurs, surtout italiens et français, engagés dans la recherche sur ce thème relisent ici une œuvre scientifique qui a été fondatrice d’un courant historiographique. Sa vie et ses engagements personnels sont également retracés ici, pour la première fois, grâce aux archives mises à disposition par la famille. Apparaît ainsi en pleine lumière le parcours singulier et attachant d’un jeune français cultivé découvrant l’Italie soumise au fascisme, se liant à des intellectuels italiens antifascistes de premier plan comme Umberto Zanotti Bianco, et donnant un regard à la fois spontané et médité mais aussi prophétique sur l’histoire contemporaine de l’Italie dans une Histoire du fascisme italien (1938) publiée sous un pseudonyme et mise au pilon dans la France occupée, à la demande de Mussolini. Il y a donc une double légitimité à voir le nom de Jean Bérard porté depuis 1966 par un Centre de recherche du CNRS et de l’École française de Rome : le Centre Jean-Bérard de Naples.
