27 y 28 de octubre, 2016. Auditorio de la Fundación Louis Jeantet, Ginebra Organizadores: Sébastien Farré (Maison de l’histoire), Dolores Martín Moruno (iEH2) En 1947, el doctor suizo Marcel Junod (1904-1961) publicaba Le troisième combattant, un libro que sería traducido al inglés bajo el título Warrior without Weapons (1951), en el que recopilaba sus experiencias como delegado del Comité Internacional de la Cruz Roja desde los bombardeos con gas mostaza sobre la población civil etíope durante la invasión italiana (1935-1936) hasta las trágicas consecuencias provocadas tras el lanzamiento de la bomba atómica en la ciudad de Hiroshima en agosto de 1945, sin olvidar su paso por la Guerra civil en España (1936-1939). Para Junod, ese tercer combatiente representaba todos aquellos actores humanitarios que no luchaban implicados en alguna de las partes beligerantes -que no eran ni “caballeros” ni “camaradas”-, sino que libraban una batalla para socorrer a las víctimas de la guerr...

Abstracts (1 pg.) and short (1-2 pg.) CV due Wednesday, Mar. 2, 2016 Participants in this workshop will explore the meaning, scope, and utility of early modern networks.  How and why did Britons in this period form alliances for the purpose of sharing spiritual counsel, geopolitical intelligence, medical and scientific expertise, social and cultural dicta, and practical advice that would allow people to better thrive – or even survive – in an early modern world marked by violence, colonial exploitation and expansion, political and religious upheaval, and radical changes to gendered, racial, and sexual norms?  And as scholars of this period, how do we define and problematize early modern networks, alliances, and partnerships?  Papers on these issues – ...

Type: Call for Publications Date: February 29, 2016 Subject Fields: Cultural History / Studies, Health and Health Care, Humanities, Popular Culture Studies, Women's & Gender History / Studies Medically unexplained symptoms, hysteria, neurasthenia, hypochondria, psychogenic illness, somatic symptoms, functional illness, malingering—there is ongoing debate amongst specialists in medicine, psychology, sociology, and the medical humanities about how to classify, diagnose, treat, and  explain  disorders affecting body and mind. Meanwhile, in popular culture, these terms are misunderstood, unknown, or rejected outright—what was once called “psychosomatic” illness is heavily stigmatized amongst lay people, while the associated syndromes have become the site of controversy and antipathy in the provider-patient relationship. The DSM-5 outlines diagnostic criteria for illness anxiety and somatic symptoms disorder; medically unex...

Technology, Innovation, and Sustainability: Historical and Contemporary Narratives Deadline for proposals is 29 February 2016 Innovation and sustainability have become key words of our everyday life, extending from political and economic discourse to teaching curricula and from the lay public to academia. However, the use of these terms is often abstract and simplistic, ignoring the density of their interrelationships in different geographic, historical and civilizational contexts, and the  boomerang  character of today’s world. The 43 rd  ICOHTEC meeting  aims at addressing this complex relationship by encouraging papers that contribute to a deeper understanding of the multilayer cultural and material built meaning of innovation and sustainability and on the various roles played by technology in enabling or preventing such interplay. The symposium covers all periods and areas of the globe. We invite submissions of new, original and unpubl...

Conceptual Change in History Conference at the University of Helsinki September 22-24, 2016 Organised by   The Oulu Centre for Theoretical and Philosophical Studies of History http://www.oulu.fi/ centreforphilosophyofhistory/ The research project ‘Reinventing the foundations of the European Legal Culture 1934-1964’ foundlaw.org Keynote speakers Theodore Arabatzis (University of Athens) Martti Koskenniemi (University of Helsinki) Sinai Rusinek ( Van Leer Jerusalem Institute) Benjamin Straumann (New York University) Paul Thagard (University of Waterloo) It is often suggested that historiography deals with change in time. If nothing ever changed, it would hardly make sense to do historical research. The nature of conceptual change has been an object of acute interest in recent years in the history and philosophy of science, cognitive science, Begriffsgeschichte , the history of ideas, legal history and other fields. Although a seemingly simple n...

21st EURAS Annual Standardisation Conference 'Co-opetition and Open Innovation' 29 June - 1 July 2016 Montpellier, France Organised by The European Academy for Standardisation (EURAS) University of Montpellier ***Submission Deadline: 21 February 2016*** To survive and to create value in today's hypercompetitive and turbulent international business environment firms have to develop new approaches. Some of these approaches involve a certain level of co-operation with competitors. Even otherwise fierce competitors such as Samsung and Sony collaborated on a new LCD television standard and for some time the Symbian Foundation had Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola among its members. Today, companies like Airbus, Dassault and Safran Thales use collaboration platforms to foster innovation based on the contributions of the individual partners. Scholars have developed new concepts to describe, analyse and optimize these strategic inter-firm relations....
