Humanitarian quarantine in practice
Medicine and religion worked in close synchronisation during the leprosy outbreak of New Caledonia (1890-1950). Once isolation of leprosy-affected people became mandatory doctors and missionaries came together to promote a particular form of medical practice that tied charitable zeal with cutting-edge medical research, developing a sophisticated set of medical practices that catered for the soul as well as the body. Such practices went hand-in-ha…

Operation Freak
Christian Flaugh offers French historians one of the most ethical models so far for understanding the impact of French colonialism and, by extension, many forms of colonialism within a variety of regional contexts throughout the world. Flaugh traces the narratives of four Francophone fictional texts (Jacques Godbout’s Les têtes à Papineau , Tahar Ben Jelloun’s L’enfant de sable and La nuit sacrée and Maryse Condé, Moi, Tituba, sorcière...Noire de…
Disability, Leprosy, and Kanak Identity in Twentieth-Century New Caledonia
The article examines the striking role played by the Indigenous (Kanak) leprosy-affected people in the history of the French overseas territory of New Caledonia. The so-called leprosy crisis in colonial New Caledonia spanned 1890–1950 and provoked alarm among medical and government officials both within the territory and back in Paris. Beginning in 1911, authorities introduced strict medical protocols in Kanak communities in stark contrast to tho…
Society, Culture and the Auditory Imagination in Modern France
This book examines the striking way in which medical and scientific work on hearing in 18th and 19th-century France helped to shape modern French society and culture. The author argues that of all the
Le corps sonore
The Art of Listening
This article examines the importance of sound in medical and musical circles of the F rench E nlightenment. Sound and listening in medicine were highlighted in 1756 by the M ontpellier doctor T héophile de Bordeu, in his work on pulse. Pulse recognition, according to Bordeu, depended not only on the tactile abilities of the doctor but also on his skills in auditory perception. Doctors were required to memorise various acoustical patterns, then ma…
Hearing Science in Mid-Eighteenth-Century Britain and France
Benjamin Martin, the English natural philosopher, and Claude-Nicolas Le Cat, the French surgeon, both published important work on auditory physiology and function in the mid-eighteenth century. Despite their different backgrounds, there was consensus between the two scholars on key principles of hearing research, most notably the importance of the inner ear in relation to auditory perception. Martin's work (1755 [1763?]) drew directly on the surg…
Zina Weygand, The Blind in French Society
Zina Weygand demonstrates that the blind have always played a crucial role in French society. Her book covers an enormous period: from the twelfth century to the mid–late period of the nineteenth century. She reveals the ‘grand’ themes of the French blind which emerge largely through the narrative histories of two fascinating French institutions: first the Hospice des Quinze-Vingts (the Hospice of the ‘300’) founded by Louis IX for the care of th…
