Dossier: Science and Technology in Ibero-America
Studies
about science and technology have been captivating historiographic
interest in Ibero-America. A series of important work has recently
appeared related to the history of medicine, expeditions, cartography,
information technology, the development of aeronautics and energy in
addition to other fields which link technology and progress in
Ibero-America.
As a way to spur this emerging historiographic trend Hib, Revista de Historia Iberoamericana, will
dedicate a special dossier to this topic accepting new approaches and
perspectives on this theme, especially from young scholars.
This
dossier looks to expand the analysis and publish work that, for example:
contributes to the understanding regarding the adaptation processes of
scientific and technological knowledge originating inside and outside of
Ibero-America; the use and impact of this knowledge on the region; the
symbolic character and the cultural imaginaries associated with science
and technology; the circulation of scientists and technicians; the
creation and patenting processes of new inventions; the link between the
scientific and the technological and the nation building and state
strengthening processes; or concerning the relation between science and
technology with power, public policies and social and economic
development.
The possibilities that this dossier brings are ample
and look to transform this special issue, which will be published in
June 2016 and serve as a point of reference for all scholars interested
in the topic of science and technology in Ibero-America.
It should
be noted that the dossier does not have any type of thematic emphasis
or is restricted to a particular time period; consequently the journal
will receive work related to Ibero-America regardless of the time period
it addresses.
For those interested in sending articles the
deadline for submission is March 4, 2016. Articles should be sent to the
journal’s editorial assistant Luz María Díaz de Valdés, at luzmaval@hib.universia.net.
