Solo así logrará hacerse visible e inteligible como tendencia historiográfica y sobre todo como apuesta teórico-metodológica, porque de hecho ya es más que creíble como práctica historiográfica. Aquí, en este libro, junto a los logros también se perfilan las carencias y los retos más acuciantes. Lejos de buscar una autonomía extemporánea, la Historia Social de las Instituciones Punitivas quiere buscar su propia viabilidad a base de intersecciones y buenas mezclas. Esos objetivos se planteaba el Grupo de Estudio sobre la Historia de la...

Ver catálogo en PDF A lo largo de la Historia de la Ciencia han existido mujeres valientes y brillantes que, pese a la prohibición explícita y negación continuada de su vocación, han sabido abrirse camino y nos han iluminado con sus descubrimientos sobre la luz.

Utrecht University, Cultural History Research Group and Descartes Centre, 30 November – 1 December 2017 In his The Scientific Life. A Late Modern Vocation Steven Shapin addresses the status of the late modern scientist. On the one hand, we have an image of modernized and rationalized science: there is an impersonal, universal scientific method that has made science an object of planning as much as any other domain of modern society: “The full expression of the rule of rule over spontaneity is found in the confidence that the production of truth can be not just rationally organized but effectively planned.” (p.10) In this image of science it is of no importance who the scientist is: s/he is just an executor who is ‘morally equivalent’. At the same time, however, Shapin shows us that in late modern technoscience supposedly “premodern resources” like personal virtue, familiarity, and charisma have become all the more important in the production and spread of scientific ...

Url:  https://jashistofmed.wordpress.com/call-for-papers/ Johns Hopkins University The Johns Hopkins University Institute for the History of Medicine is pleased to host the 15th Joint Atlantic Seminar for the History of Medicine, October 13-14, 2017 in Baltimore. JASMed is convened annually for the presentation of research by young scholars working on the history of medicine and public health. The meeting was founded in 2002 to foster a collegial intellectual community that provides a forum for sharing and critiquing graduate research. We welcome student presentations on any topic and time period and especially hope to receive submissions that speak to this year’s theme, “Truth, Power, and Objectivity in the History of Medicine.” As Bruno Latour cautioned in his 2004 essay “Why has critique run out of steam? From matters of fact to matters of concern,” by demonstrating the lack of scientific certainty and socially constructed nature of facts in their work, his...

This conference aims to shed new light onto the history of beauty and health by exploring the subjective concepts of beauty, ‘normality’, and their opposites within and around the hospital. This eleventh INHH conference will consider the relationship between beauty and the hospital in history through an examination of five key themes. These themes and questions are by no means exhaustive, however, and we encourage the submission of abstracts that discuss other aspects of beauty and the hospital in history in innovative ways. Key Themes and Questions to be Explored: 1. The Arts and the Hospital. 2. Landscape and Envir...

Isabel Bartolomé Rodríguez, Mercedes Fernández Paradas y Jesús Mirás Araujo Madrid, Marcial Pons, Ediciones Jurídicas y Sociales, 2017 ISBN: 9788491232513 Precio: 32,30 € 323 páginas Prólogo de Martí Solà Sugrañes. Sinopsis : El libro Globalización, nacionalización y liberalización de la industria del gas en la Europa latina (siglos xix-xxi) analiza la historia de un sector, el del gas, que, como otras actividades económicas incluidas dentro de lo que comúnmente se denominan servicios o industrias en red, presenta un carácter poliédrico. Por ello, se ha elegido para esta obra un enfoque multidisciplinar y una perspectiva comparativa. La evolución de la industria del gas viene determinada por su fisonomía productiva, la de su distribución y comercialización, pero también por las elecciones tecnológicas adoptadas, sus sistemas de gestión y por las sucesivas oleadas en la m...

URL:  http://www.fsgs.fu-berlin.de/pathographics From October 27-28, 2017 , this two-day academic conference at the Berlin Museum of Medical History at the Charité examines the ways in which knowledge and experience of illness and disability circulate within the realms of medicine, art, the personal and the cultural.

Keynote speaker: Leigh Gilmore (Wellesley College), Author of The Limits of Autobiography: Trauma and Testimony (2001) and Tainted Witness: Why we doubt what women say about their lives (2017).

Can sensory history provide new insights into spaces of physical illness and recovery? How have cultural, individual and medical concerns historically shaped experiences of sights, sounds, smells, tastes and touch in hospital environments? This project will explore these questions, focusing on modern British hospitals. It will examine how emerging research on the senses fed into healthcare design and hospital life, and how patients/staff/visitors experienced and gave meaning to these design decisions. In 2017-18 the Principal Investigator (Dr Victoria Bates) will conduct research on the theory, practice and lived experience of sensory ‘design for health’ in hospitals since 1945. During this time the PI, with the support of the person appointed as Research Associate, will also explore future directions for the project with particular attention to methodological innovation, geographical scope and/or time frame, and public engagement opportunities. Overall, the project wil...
