CfP: Dossier "History, Science and Nature"
The journal Fronteiras: Journal of Social, Technological and Environmental Science (ISSN 2238-8869) would like to invite you to submit a paper proposal for the special Dossier “History, Science and Nature”:
The
relation between History, Science and Nature is extremely dynamic and
interdisciplinary, allowing a deeper knowledge on the uses of the planet
and Nature (Earth / Oceans / Seas). Through the analysis of the last we
intend to develop a transnational and comparative perspective of the
History of Sciences and Technologies. We also intend to understand
Nature as a way of modernization of the economic, social, scientific and
cultural activities of the different States and Nations. Nature also
seen as an agent of new practices and sociabilities, representative of
new philosophical and social ideals, in which the production,
circulation and appropriation of knowledge and techniques is a reality,
creating important networks that unite the Mediterranean world with the
Ibero-American world and Africa. This call gives preference to the
following scientific areas:
- Transnational History;
- History of Science and Technology;
- Internationalization of Science and Scientific Internationalism;
- Museums and Scientific Collections;
- Spaces and Actors of Science;
- Scientific and Cultural Diplomacy;
- History of Colonialism;
- History of Natural Sciences;
- History of Health Sciences;
- History of the Environment;
- History of Meteorology;
- Seas and Oceans.
