The city and healthcare. Spaces, Institutions, Strategies, Memory.

10-11-12 September 2020

Presentation

Our society would seem to be at a crossroads: on the one hand, healthcare has become an indispensable activity intended to overcome the maladies and limitations afflicting humans, on the other, the right to such care is not yet equitably provided for, and is today, moreover, compromised even where it previously appeared firmly established.
The city has always been a privileged place for medical treatment, although it has also been perceived (in some historical moments) as the place where the body fell ill. On the other hand, it has developed suitable tools and spaces in which to find remedies for diseases. Political, institutional, cultural and scientific changes have led to ancient and new spaces in cities dedicated to therapies and well-being. From religious to scientific, the vision and organization of care as a social and cultural theme have generated - in different eras - ways, strategies, practices and habits that have influenced the large scale of urban history, as well as the developments and transformations of different places designated in the cities, or alternatively excluded from the cities. Gender separations, internments of special patients, distinctions connected to religions, ethnic groups or ages, specializations of functions, constraints and emancipations in the forms of active and passive care, liberality, privileges and elites, have found specification in times and places, connoting cities . In some cases, the importance of these functions has become such as to require a specialization of some urban parts, increased by the convergence between the science of care and places of processing and transmission of medical knowledge. In this context, the recent debate on health citadels for the definition of new functions that entire urban parts can take on should also be framed.
If medical science and treatments have profoundly changed and ancient beliefs are revolutionized, the past of treatments is strongly connected to the present of cities, even more so if these are marked by pandemics such as the one we are experiencing from COVID-19. The study of spaces and strategies related to the role played by the city in this field is also an opportunity to increase knowledge of a specific cultural heritage of the past, often still in use, sometimes of considerable artistic importance, but more often perceived as obsolete. for its historical and cultural meanings. This tangible heritage is joined by the intangible heritage of a history strongly linked to the community and its well-being, in the past and in the present, and therefore intertwined with social and cultural tensions, and with their representation.
At a time when the global tragedy of the pandemic is being experienced, this conference intends to promote a diachronic reflection on the themes and places of treatment, from late medieval cities to contemporary cities. Scholars have formulated proposals on case studies or on cross-cutting topics, through various disciplinary or interdisciplinary perspectives, with the aim of broadening the status of studies in the subject by articulating the field of urban history. The contributions deal with issues ranging from issues related to care (such as isolation, charity, scientific organization, etc.), to spatial and distributive elements or architectural typologies (e.g. the pavilions, the ward, the chapel, etc.), social practices (e.g. with respect to lifestyles, disabilities, or certain rituals), cultural (see the phenomenon of health care), institutional and administrative practices in ordinary and extraordinary management (e.g. in cases of epidemics or catastrophic events), the impact on neighborhoods or specialized urban areas (e.g. polyclinics).
This conference as a whole aims to bring out different forms of attention and conception of care - analyzed at different moments from prevention, to therapies, to emergencies, to rehabilitation, to hospitalization - in different eras and in different geographical and cultural contexts. in relation to urban history. In this sense, in the selection of the contributions, the possibility of articulating the interventions - many of significant relevance - was also taken into account in order to account for chronologies, cities of different sizes, case studies, research areas.

New modalities

The conference is carried out remotely. This is a contingent necessity, but which has been interpreted as a challenge, rather than a renunciation, for both the AISU and the University of Pavia.
For this reason, AISU and the University of Pavia offer an online conference format with:
• tight times for oral communication;
• integration of remote live communications and pre-produced video content and broadcast during the event;
• methods of remote interaction;
• possibility to download abstracts of the contents, reserved for convention members;
• “out of the box” contributions from scholars and personalities outside the scientific disciplinary perimeter of the congress but such as to make a useful contribution of vision and perspective.
Most of the contributions of the conference participants are pre-recorded on video and can be viewed on the AISU website: https://aisuinternational.org/pavia-2020/. The videos are accessible, by logging in, to AISU Members in good standing with the quotas, before, during and after the conference, and to those Registered at the conference, before and during the conference; while they will be accessible to all only during the 3 days of the conference.
During the three days, over 130 scholars from Italian and international universities, institutions and companies will be connected.
During the three days, scholars connected remotely will animate 9 thematic round tables dedicated to the theme of the city and care from the past to the contemporary: 1: The management of care between ordinary administrations and moments of health crisis; 2. The places of care between the Middle Ages and the modern age; 3. From sacred to welfare: the places of care between charity, religious orders and cult of saints; 4. Cities within cities: psychiatric hospitals; 5. The building heritage of care between conservation, uses and reuses; 6. The places of care in the contemporary age; 7. Hygiene and hygiene. Urban rehabilitation and transformation plans; 8. Planning and care; 9. Design the cure.
