Acceder al resto de vídeos a través del siguiente enlace: https://vertice.cpd.ua. es/col/5881 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 escen...

Contemplating Science, Medicine, and Technology: Past and Present Challenges Date: 22–24 September 2017 Venue: University of Münster, Germany The Society for the History of Science, Medicine, and Technology (Gesellschaft für Geschichte der Wissenschaften, der Medizin und der Technik, GWMT) invites paper and panel proposals for its first annual conference. We encourage submissions dealing with all aspects of the relation between historical and systematic reflections and science, medicine, and technology, as well as submissions focusing on the current situation of the historiographies of these fields. Two broader questions stand out: First, historical examples for the use of ‘history’ in social, political, and economical debates about science, medicine, and technology. Second, the relation between the present-day historiographies of science, medicine, and technology and other fields of critical and systematic reflection, as for example gender studies, STS, soci...

Embriología en la periferia traza la odisea de la disciplina abriéndose camino en dos escenarios científicos tan diferentes como la II República y la dictadura franquista. A través de la investigación en más de una decena de archivos nacionales e internacionales, del análisis de las publicaciones de los morfólogos españoles y de la recolección de numerosas fuentes orales, este libro reconstruye las investigaciones embriológicas de ambos períodos y sus contextos sociopolíticos y académicos. A través de sus páginas, Embriología en la periferia muestra cómo la economía del país, las cambiantes políticas científicas o las ideas políticas y religiosas de los propios inves...

Deadline : 3th  March 2017* The 2016 Summer School organised by the International Research Centre of the Historial de la Grande Guerre de Péronne has led to many exchanges and debates which needed to be prolonged and perpetuated. In that sense, we invite *papers for a symposium directed at young researchers, such as graduate students and PhD students*. The historiography of World War I has been largely built upon the basis of separation between the History of battles on one side and occupied populations and the home front on the other1. Nonetheless, to reason with this image is to forget that World War I, as total warfare, has set new means of meeting, coexisting and cohabitating between the civilian and the military spheres. From the military front to the home front, and through occupied territories, the war experience is a crossway, perhaps even an interaction between the civilian and military worlds, as the expression ‘home front’ suggests. Expected proposals will...

Editors: Sarah R Davies (University of Copenhagen) & Ulrike Felt (University of Vienna)   Public communication of science is a key way that people encounter scientific knowledge. Whether in mass media, science museums, public events, or online, science communication is used by audiences in different ways and for multiple purposes. This volume will gather together work that takes a critical Science and Technology Studies approach to such public communication. Building on STS traditions of exploring questions of scientific authority, democracy, and public knowledges, it will interrogate science communication activities to ask: what is happening to science, to publics, and to communication within public communication of science?   We are particularly concerned with the diverse spaces and places that science communication takes place within, the different...

Details: Organizer: Jap-Nanak Makkar, University of Virginia, jkm5ar@virginia.edu Deadline: March 1, 2017 (email abstract, bio & AV requirements to organizer) Special Session for MLA 2018, New York City Please consider submitting to a special session, proposed to take place at MLA 2018 in New York City, on “Global Literature and Technology.” Description: Digital media pose a challenge to the cultural authority usually associated with the book, generating an “aesthetic of bookishness” in recent fiction (Pressman 2009) or engendering a reactive, anti-technological response in literary criticism (Birkerts 1994). According to this perspective, digital media threaten to overtake the place of literary fiction as a leisure option. But, as Sarah Brouillette (2007) has pointed out, electronic technologies have also contributed to the creation of the postcolonial canon: ever since electronic technology permitted publishing companies greater contr...
