A história da assistência, em geral, e dos hospitais, em particular, são um tema de investigação multidisciplinar que têm convocado diferentes investigadores, abordando questões de história social, religiosa e da ciência. Também a história da arquitetura tem nestas temáticas um importante campo de estudo que se tem consolidado nos últimos anos. Os hospitais e outras instituições assistenciais relacionadas com a saúde, devido ao papel social que desempenharam ao longo da história, constituem-se como relevantes objetos de pesquisa dos pontos de vista artístico, arquitetónico e patrimonial. Neste contexto e no âmbito do projeto «Hospitalis – Arquitetura hospitalar em Portugal nos alvores da Modernidade: identificação, caraterização e contextualização» (PTDC/ART-HIS/30808/2017), promove-se a segunda edição do Colóquio Internacional dedicado à Arquitetura Assistencial e convidam-se todos os investigadores que tenham realizado ou estejam a desenvolver trabalhos ou projetos inéditos, de ...

Colonial Knowledges: Environment and Logistics in the Creation of Knowledge in British Colonies from 1750 to 1950. 27th-28th February 2020, University of Manchester.   Keynote speaker: Professor Javed Majeed, King’s College London. The effects of colonial power dynamics on knowledge creation in the long nineteenth century and beyond are well known and have become the foundation of a postcolonial reading of British scholarship in the context of empire. What has been less well examined are the practical effects of the colonial context on knowledge making.     This two-day conference seeks to explore how logistical and practical factors, such as the physical environment including climate and distance from the metropole, influenced the creation of both scientific and humanistic knowledge in British colonies.  We invite papers exploring the practicalities of knowledge creation in any British colony, including India and Egypt, from 1750 to 1...

A bridge to better healthcare: Cultural mediators in refugee and migrant healthcare Tuesday  2 July 2019 13.00-14.00 CEST Live webcast/further information link:  www.euro.who.int/en/ cultureandhealth Migration flows constitute a defining element of our time, with a consistent rise in the number of migrants and refugees in the WHO European Region. International migrants now form 10% of the Region’s population, 90.7 million people. This increase in the number of refugees and migrants has gone hand in hand with an increase in the number of cultural mediators, in some countries. Cultural mediators have the potential to be one of the keys to improving health care for refugees and migrants. They can assist in a variety of ways, including helping refugees and migrants access services and helping health practitioners better understand the needs and behaviors of people in these groups. However, to fully realize the potential of cultural mediators, it is important to unde...

Valencia, IILP, Palau de Cerveró, Septiembre de 2019. Comité organizador: José Ramón Bertomeu, Salvador Calatayud y Ximo Guillem. En los últimos años se ha producido una gran cantidad de trabajos situados en las fronteras de la historia agraria, la historia económica y la historia de la ciencia y de la tecnología. El interés de la historia agraria por los problemas del cambio tecnológico se ha visto plasmado en congresos, artículos de revisión y libros colectivos. La circulación de nuevas técnicas y su acomodo en diversos contextos socioculturales y entornos ecológicos ha incrementado el interés por la producción y el uso de la tecnología agraria, así como sus diversas consecuencias económicas y medioambientales. Desde la historia de la ciencia, el interés por las consecuencias sociales de la tecnociencia y por la circulación ha conducido a investigar diversos productos sociomateriales a través de su paso por la industria y la agricultura, tales como semillas mejoradas genéticamen...
