Dehumanization, Segregation and Emotions in Past European Psychiatric Institutions
This paper investigates the lived experiences of individuals confined within two major European psychiatric institutions, Miguel Bombarda Hospital in Portugal and the Cadillac-sur-Garonne psychiatric hospital in France, between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Using a people-centred approach, we integrate spatial analysis, archival research, material culture and oral testimony to examine how these institutions worked as spaces of social se…
Shoreline dynamics and cultural heritage sites in Kenya, Tanzania, and Senegal
Coastal areas in Africa are vital for settlement, livelihoods, and socio–economic development, and host diverse heritage sites from the early Stone Age to the present. However, these sites face growing threats from development and climate change. The absence of regional sea level models and digitized archaeological records hampers effective threat mapping and mitigation. A new digital dataset documents the distribution and characteristics of arch…
An Early Queer Riot? The 1905 Les Douaires Mutiny and Abolitionist Genealogies of Queer Politics
In July 1905, the incarcerated youths detained at Les Douaires, France, rebelled following a crackdown of the penal administration on homosexual relationships. This episode might be one of the earliest recorded queer riots in modern European history. After discussing its political economic context, the course of the mutiny is described in detail, alongside its meaning for the study of past sexualities. Re-interpreting this mutiny as an act of sel…
Mad Archaeologies of Asylums and Sanist Necropolitics
“Lunatic” asylums and psychiatric institutions have been studied in historical archaeology and heritage for over two decades. However, these disciplines have not yet engaged with mad studies, the mad liberation movement or the concept of sanism. Epistemic imbalances may lead scholars to miss the past necropolitical and carceral aspects central to these institutions and to the continued systemic oppression of disabled, crip and mad people. This pa…

French historical and contemporary archaeology
Modern and contemporary archaeology, the French equivalent of historical archaeology, emerged in the 1970s. Subsequent attempts at theorising this sub-discipline have been hindered by a lack of broad professional recognition and funding. While the archaeology of the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries is now more widely recognised in France, studies of the post-nineteenth-century period remain limited to a few specific contexts. Here, the author of…
Material assemblages and percolating pasts in Zigua households, north-eastern Tanzania
The material culture and dwellings of the Zigua villages of Kwa Fungo and Kwengoma, in north-eastern Tanzania, bear the traces of complex social and historical dynamics. In this paper, we analyse household inventories and ethnographic interview data originally collected in 1991 by a team from the University of Dar es Salaam and the National Museum, Tanzania. We rely on oral histories as well as on Zigua epistemologies and ideas of percolating pas…
