CfP: Special issue on New trends in the historiography of medicine
Transversal: International Journal for the
Historiography of Science is pleased to announce a Call for
Papers dedicated to the new trends in the historiography of medicine, which
will welcome papers focusing on the new methodological approaches and objects
that have been recently explored in the history of medicine, all around the
world.
Deadline for paper submission: July
31th, 2017.
Publication of the issue: December,
2017.
We are expecting to receive submissions
related to the new methodological approaches and the new objects that have been
recently explored in the field of the history of medicine. These submissions
can either propose a kind of meta-analysis of a new field of studies in the
history of medicine (such as “global health”, relation between medicine and
gender or race studies, history of pharmacology, health and environment,
history of medicine in Africa etc.), or propose some epistemological analysis
on new methodological approaches that have emerged in these last decades (such
as the articulation of ethnography and historical methods, the historical
epistemology applied to medical history, the relevance of visual studies to the
history of medicine etc.). Papers applying an original methodology to a
specific object or historical materials are especially welcomed, as papers
trying to embrace the development of an emergent field of researches in the
area of history of medicine.
We are also expecting book reviews relevant
for the above thematic.
In addition to English articles, Transversal:
International Journal for the Historiography of Science accepts
articles in French, Portuguese and Spanish for evaluation, but after approval
for publication the author should send the final version in English.
Submission details:
Submissions must be received by July 31th,
2017 via the webpage of the Journal www.historiographyofscience.
