Who cares? De la psychiatrie dans l'aire anglophone
Le projet transversal “Who cares? De la psychiatrie dans l’aire anglophone” est porté par 4 enseignantes-chercheuses de l’Université Paris Nanterre : Cécile Birks, Claire Deligny, Laurence Dubois (OAB / HP2A) et Elisabeth Fauquert (Politiques Américaines) et une enseignante-chercheuse de la Sorbonne Nouvelle : Laetitia Sansonetti (PRISMES).Ce projet comporte deux axes:
Projet de traduction collaborative de l’ouvrage de WAF Browne What Asylums are, were and ought to be, publié en 1837, réédité en anglais par Andrew Scull dans une version critique au début des années 1990 (The asylum as Utopia : W.A.F. Browne and the mid-nineteenth century consolidation of psychiatry / edited by Andrew Scull. London , New York: Routledge, 1990) mais inédit dans sa version française.
Colloque international en trois volets :
Février 2025 : “People and Places”
Février 2026 : “Theories and Policies”
Février 2027 : “Circulations and Transfers”.
Les ambitions du colloque “Who Cares?” :
Créer un lieu d’échange interdisciplinaire et international sur la psychiatrie dans l’aire anglophone
Etablir un nouveau réseau de recherche pérenne sur le sujet
Renforcer le rayonnement de l’OAB, du CREA et de l’Université Paris Nanterre dans ce domaine.
Outre la mise en valeur de ses activités permanentes de recherche, le groupe a vocation à faciliter les liens avec les autres disciplines qui travaillent sur l’histoire de la psychiatrie (psychologie, médecine etc….) et avec d’autres groupes existants, notamment : la SFHSH (Société française pour l’histoire des sciences de l’homme), le groupe History of Science, Medicine and Technology Research Group (University of Edinburgh), la Society for the Social History of Medicine (Oxford University), et le séminaire d’histoire de la psychiatrie de l’Hôpital Sainte Anne.
