Lamaze
Reveals the surprising history of the Lamaze method of childbirth, also known as psychoprophylaxis, by tracing this psychological, non-pharmacological approach to obstetric pain relief from its origins in the USSR in the 1940s, to France in the 1950s, and to the United States in the 1960s and 1970s.
Knowledge and Pain
Pain studies, both in exact sciences and in the humanities, are a fast-shifting field. This volume condenses a spectrum of recent views of pain through the lens of humanistic studies. Methodologically, the volume is an interdisciplinary study of the questions pertaining to the accessibility of pain (physical or emotional) to understanding and of the possible influence of suffering on the enhancement of knowledge in private experience or public sphere. Undeterred by the widespread belief that pain cannot be expressed in language and that it is intransmissible to others, the authors of the essays in the collection show that the replicability of records and narratives of human experience provid...
Birth
A journalist “explores the way childbirth has changed, from pre-history to the present” in this “fascinating, funny and occasionally shocking” historical survey (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). From midwives to the epidural and beyond, mother and former Boston Globe editor Tina Cassidy presents an intelligent, enlightening, and impeccably researched cultural history of how we handle the process of childbirth.

Peintures caduveo
Au cours d’un séjour ethnographique au Brésil en 1935-1936, Claude Lévi-Strauss est subjugué par les peintures corporelles des Indiens kadiwéu. Il y voit un « style » obéissant à un « système ». Des décennies plus tard, Monique Lévi-Strauss découvre une pochette contenant plus d’une trentaine de dessins originaux offerts à l’anthropologue par des femmes caduveo (orthographe occidentalisée alors adoptée). Cette archive privée, jusqu’alors inconnue, participe d’une forme d’anthropologie sociale et structurale : elle est l’expression d’une vision de la société comme du monde. Ces documents inédits sont reproduits dans ce volume, accompagnés des chapitres de Tristes Tropiques qui les évoquent. Dans sa postface, « Le silence des signes », Michel Pastoureau montre que ces peintures nous permettent de nous « laisser porter par l’ineffable pouvoir onirique des signes : incompris, secrets, silencieux, ils conduisent furtivement le chercheur vers cette autre part de la réalité qu’est le rêve ».
