Annales d'hygiène publique et de médecine légale
Au tournant du XXIe siècle, les débats liés à la santé publique se multiplient et dépassent les limites d'une stricte sphère professionnelle, pour sensibiliser l'ensemble des citoyens à ses enjeux. Parmi ces questions, les interactions entre pouvoir exécutif, pouvoir législatif et pouvoir scientifique, la question des inégalités sociales de santé, le rôle de la solidarité et de la participation civique dans la promotion du bien-être, occupent une place prépondérante. Proposant une mise en perspective historique de ces enjeux, cet ouvrage offre une exploration éclectique du champ de la santé publique au fil du temps : d'abord à travers l'histoire d'une revue, les Annales d'Hygiène publique et de médecine légale, puis d'une association, l'Alliance d'hygiène sociale, et enfin d'une notion, le capital social.

During the nineteenth century, words like 'intersex' and 'trans' had not yet been invented to describe individuals whose bodies, or senses of self, conflicted with binary sex. But that does not mean that such people did not exist. In nineteenth-century France, case studies filled medical journals, high-profile trials captured headlines, and doctors staked their reputations on sex determinations only to have them later reversed by colleagues. While medical experts fought over what separated a man from a woman, novelists began to explore debates about binary sex and describe the experiences of gender-ambiguous characters. Anne Linton discusses over 200 newly-uncovered case studies while offering fresh readings of literature by several famous writers of the period, as well as long-overlooked popular fiction. This landmark contribution to the history of sexuality is the first book to examine intersex in both medicine and literature, sensitively relating historical 'hermaphrodism' to contemporary intersex activism and scholarship.
