« Ad obsequium divinum inhabilem », la reconnaissance de la condition de personne infirme par la chancellerie pontificale (XIIe – XIVe siècles)
Publication date: Available online 13 February 2020Source: AlterAuthor(s): Ninon DubourgRésuméLes suppliques reçues et les lettres émises par la Chancellerie apostolique entre le xiie et le xive siècle attestent la reconnaissance de l’invalidité par l’institution pontificale. Elles actent l’existence d’une infirmité physique ou mentale et autorisent le suppliant à adapter ses missions de clerc ou de chrétien en fonction de ses capacités. Ces documents se situent à la frontière entre une parole institutionnelle et des sources de la pratique. La sollicitation provoque une intense et complexe production é...

Using the data from the HandiVIH ANRS 12302 study, we aimed to examine the effect of disability on the social markers of the transition...

Nation's compensation for war wounds and work incapacities. The creation of a new welfare system for physically disabled veterans and civilians of the First World War in Interwar Belgium, 1918–1928
This article explores the creation of a new social welfare system for physically disabled veterans and civilians of the Great War in Belgium during the early interwar period. Through an analysis of debates among ministers and legislators, doctor's opinions and the member's periodicals of the two largest national associations for war-wounded veterans and civilians it examines how these actors shaped a new set of benefits that caused significant socio-economic inequalities inside and between both groups of victims and in relation to physically disabled citizens without war injuries. Consequently, this article reveals how the...

Based on multiple archives, associative journals and the colonial press, this article aims to analyse the status granted to war-disabled in these territories. By virtue of their sacrific...
