Resum del cicle : La signatura de l’Armistici de Compiègne, entre Alemanya i les forces aliades, el dia 11 de novembre de 1918 va significar la fi de la I Guerra Mundial, una contesa que es va saldar amb vora deu milions de víctimes mortals i un incalculable nombre de ferits i de mutilats. Les potències contendents havien posat en joc tots els seus recursos militars –començant per la carn de canó dels soldats de lleva– per tal d’infligir el màxim dany possible a l’enemic. Com no s’havia conegut mai a tan gran escala, la ...

Critical thinking, the general capacity for the critical assessment of arguments and scientific literacy, face several problems that hinder both its public acceptance and its screening by responsible institutions. Although social irrationality is not a novel issue, its sophisticated use by social movements that, flirting with pseudoscience, seek to exploit negligence in decision-making is rising. In this regard, many of these contemporary forms of motivated irrationality show harmful political implications, such as “alternative facts”, climate change denial, radical gender studies, etc., in contexts as crucial as educational, health or environmental public policies. Disputatio, Philosophical Research Bulletin  cordially invites authors interested in reflecting or in presenting a systematic investigation about contemporary forms of collective irrationality that come into well-documented conflict with critical thinking and scientific knowledge. Articles can be interd...

We invite expressions of interest from scholars of any discipline, working on histories of HIV and AIDS in Europe, to contribute to an edited collection. Research on HIV and AIDS in historical perspective has intensified in recent years. This exciting work is starting to incorporate groups and experiences that have been under-documented, and to signal the vital importance of local and national contexts. Responses to, and experiences of HIV and AIDS were modulated by features that varied from place to place, within and between countries, and reflected the importance of the social, cultural, and political settings in which HIV and AIDS emerged.  This collection will explore comparative histories and national or regional specificities, particularly those which capture previously unexamined experiences of those affected by HIV and AIDS. These may include the experiences of young people, women, and families, migrants, or sex workers, for example, or regions and nat...
