Dimecres 27 març.  18 hores La sociologia de les emocions és un àmbit emergent que promet oferir explicacions per a entendre fenòmens claus com l'acció col·lectiva. En aquesta presentació utilitzem la teoria de Randall Collins (tal vegada el sociòleg nord-americà viu més destacat) sobre l'energia emocional per a emmarcar el nostre cas d'estudi sobre l'ús de símbols visuals en la recent crisi mediambiental relacionada amb el plàstic. Els resultats de la nostra anàlisi qualitativa i “netnogràfic” de dades procedents en gran part de les xarxes socials d'un moviment mediambientaliste nord-americà, ens permet dotar de contingut empíric a un nou concepte, el “trabajo simbólico-emocional” (TSE). La noció de TSE pretén alleujar algunes de les manques de la teoria de Collins respecte a l'agència en l'ús de símbols per part   d'individus específics en els processos de generació d'energia emocional.

We organized a panel for the  Society for the History of Technology annual meeting  that will take place  Milan (October 27-29, 2019) -titled  “ Technology and irregular warfare in the Twentieth Century ” -.  If anyone is interested in participating in our panel, we look forward to your proposals (an title and abstract sent to this email). The deadline to submit abstracts is due in a few days, by March 25th (hopefully they will extend it!), but we will give a couple of more days. DESCRIPTION Arms, explosives, maps, garment and physical infrastructures constitute some examples of the objects fabricated, used or adapted in modern warfare. The relationship between war and technology has interested historians of technology from the outset of the discipline. Moreover, it has been also a primordial concern of general historians. However, most of the literature on the subject focuses in wars or conflicts between states (regular wars). In this session...

Synthese  special issue :  Non-Standard Approaches to Emergence Guest editors : Olivier Sartenaer (Cologne) and Umut Baysan (Oxford) Submission deadline : August 21, 2019. Aims and scope: When British emergentists initially appealed to the concept of emergence in the early 20th century, they aimed at laying the groundwork of a philosophy of nature that was supposed to constitute a middle course between two antagonistic worldviews, namely (and in a knowingly anachronistic phrasing) reductive physicalism and nonphysicalist dualism. Emergence, as a relation between an “emergent” and its “emergence base”, was indeed to be construed from the very start as a conjunction of two demands. First – call this the “dependence demand”, which is in tension with some versions of dualism – emergents were thought to somehow  depend on  their bases. Second – this is the “distinctness demand”, which  prima facie  conflicts with a reductive version of physicalism – eme...

In this seminar, our panellists will focus on the smallpox control programmes operating in the 1950s and 1960s, with particular reference to China, Nepal, Brazil and India.
