Espacio y salud: el proceso de descentralización en el marco autonómico español El Seminario podrá seguirse en directo por Streaming a través del enlace: https://vertice.cpd.ua.es/sede Descargar díptico en formato PDF La Constitución de 1978 abrió el proceso de descentralización política en España que cristalizaría en la creación de 17 comunidades autónomas y 2 ciudades autónomas, durante la década de los 80. En el ámbito sanitario, significó el fin de una estructura política centralizada y una desconcentración meramente administrativa de ámbito provincial. Los intentos descentralizadores anteriores a la Guerra Civil no tuvieron continuidad en el contexto centralista de la etapa franquista. Con la llegada de la democracia, la organización sanitaria desarrollada por la dictadura no respondía a las necesidades políticas y administrativas, incluidas las sanitarias, previstas en la nueva Constitución. En ese escenario, la configuración y posterior desarrollo de una alt...

Genealogies of Knowledge I Translating Political and Scientific Thought across Time and Space 7-9 December 2017 1 st Call for Papers http://genealogiesofknowledge. net/2016/11/23/genealogies- knowledge-i-translating- political-scientific-thought- across-time-space/ The production and circulation of knowledge across temporal and cultural spaces is a well-established research theme among classicists and historians of political thought, ideas, science and medicine, but recent developments have opened up new perspectives on this area of study. The study of social knowledge flows has advanced our understanding of these transit processes in critical and productive ways. While earlier ‘diffusionist’ models of knowledge production and distribution were predicated on the ascendancy of European thought and science, and the treatment of other cultures as no more than producers of data to be collected, theorised and understood, emerging models of social knowledge ...

The journal Public Understanding of Science runs a new rubric, Historical Moments in PUS, of which the last item, by Dr Hsiang-Fu Huang, has just appeared. See here: http://sagepus.blogspot.com/ 2016/11/the-role-of- popularizers-in-vulcan.html and here: http://pus.sagepub.com/ content/early/2016/10/10/ 0963662516679045.full.pdf+html The rubric is meant to highlight the scholarly value of an historical approach to the study of the communication of the sciences and of the public understandings of science, two fields of scholarship which may sometime suffer from a slight lack in historical awareness. As such, this rubric is an ideal place for historians of science and technology, as well as science studies scholars, particularly those interested in the history of the public cultures of science, to draw the attention to salient features of their research, past and present. A typical piece for this rubric is between 1500 and 2000 words and is published alongside a sh...

War hecatomb: effects on health, demography and modern thought (19 th -21 st centuries) Lisbon, 19-20 June 2017 Organisation: Institute of Contemporary History - FCSH/NOVA Venue: FCSH/NOVA, Lisbon (Portugal) Deadline for proposals: 15 th of February 2017 Since the 19 th century until nowadays several wars marked History, which effects are still present in the collective memory. The different military conflicts had a direct impact on health of military as well as civilians, namely of the families that stayed far from the conflicts. In a way, there were an important number of casualties, and in another way, those that were wounded, invalid and sick had to return home, trying to reintegrate themselves in the society. Sometimes, unconsciously, they transmitted illnesses contracted in the battle fields to their families. Furthermore, conflicts changed material and moral conditions, with consequences in the agricultural, industrial and commercial prod...

7–9 SEPTEMBER 2017. UNIVERSITY OF OSLO. Design and designers hold an ambiguous place in environmental discourse. They are alternatively being blamed for causing environmental problems, and hailed as possessing some of the competences that could help solving those problems. Despite this long-standing centrality of design to environmental discourse, and vice versa, these interrelations remain underexplored in design historical scholarship. Half a century ago, Leo Marx coined the phrase ‘the machine in the garden’ to describe a trope he identified as a prominent feature of 19th and early 20th century American literature, in which the pastoral ideal is seen as disturbed by the invasion of modern technology. Marx subsequently shifted perspective from this fascination with ‘the technological sublime’ to a deep concern for the environmental ramifications of technological progress. The question of how we as society deal with the allegorical machine in the proverbial garde...

Nous avons le plaisir de vous annoncer la parution du numéro 29 de la Revue d’histoire des sciences humaines ( http://www.publications- sorbonne.fr/fr/revues/rhsh/ ). Son dossier porte sur "les sciences de l'homme en manuels". En voici l'argumentaire suivi de la table des matières du numéro: Argumentaire du dossier: "Le manuel d'enseignement supérieur est un objet peu estimé, qui n'a pas suscité la m ê me attention que ses é quivalents destinés à des publics scolaires. Tenu pour une synth è se, voire une vulgarisation, de connaissances élaborées ailleurs, il n’intéresse guère les historiens des sciences ou de l’enseignement. L’ambition de ce dossier est de contribuer par une historicisation rigoureuse à indiquer toute la complexité et le caractère évolutif de ces objets de savoir et de montrer combien leur production a pu donner lieu à des investissements stratégiques, qu’ils soient le fait d’individus isolés, de collectifs dévoués ...

It will consider how and why autism became a global category, and what the implica...
