Autor: Francisco García González Las personas solas que encabezaban sus propios hogares suponían una realidad que, con harta frecuencia, ha pasado desapercibida y oculta detrás de una determinada representación de la familia en el pasado. Constituían el contrapunto de una sociedad donde la condición ideal venía definida directamente por su estado matrimonial. Sobre todo, para las mujeres. Sin embargo, vivir en soledad era una situación más habitual de lo que se suele pensar. Y no solo en las ciudades, a las que tradicionalmente se ha vinculado este hecho. También en el mundo rural, considerado el paradigma de la anti-soledad. Con este libro se reivindica su estudio en estas zonas para profundizar en las dimensiones, peculiaridades y complejidad del fenómeno a un lado y otro del Atlántico desde el siglo XVI hasta la actualidad.

El mNACTEC i l'Institut Ramon Muntaner (IRMU) convoquen un ajut de recerca històrica i/o patrimonial sobre els diferents àmbits que configuren el patrimoni, la història i la cultura industrial, científica i tècnica de Catalunya El Museu Nacional de la Ciència i de la Tècnica de Catalunya (mNACTEC) i l’Institut Ramon Muntaner (IRMU), Fundació Privada dels Centres d’Estudi de Parla Catalana, convoquen un ajut de recerca històrica i/o patrimonial sobre els diferents àmbits que configuren el patrimoni, la història i la cultura industrial, científica i tècnica de Catalunya (patrimoni moble, immoble i/o immaterial). Es prioritzaran els estudis i recerques inèdites que treballin els diferents àmbits d’aquest patrimoni científic, tècnic i industrial que permetin aprofundir en la seva incidència social, històrica, econòmica, tecnològica, etc. al llarg dels segles XVIII a XX així com les propostes de protecció, restauració i posada en valor patrimonial. 1.

This Special Issue of Angles would like to delve into the pandemic provoked by COVID-19, and its effects on the Anglophone world . As schools and universities are still reeling from weeks of lockdown and emergency distance-learning, plans are already underway to cope with an expected Second Wave when classes resume in the Fall. This issue invites writers, artists and academics to reflect on what has occurred in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, on historical, political, institutional, artistic, and personal levels . “The plague full swift goes by; I am sick, I must die.                 Lord, have mercy on us!” Thomas Nashe, ‘A Litany in Time of Plague’ (1592) “I had a little bird Its name was Enza I opened the window, And in-flu-enza.” 1918 jump-rope rhyme “It's going to disappear. One day — it's like a miracle — it will disappear.” Donald Trump, remarks at African-American History Month reception in the Cabinet Room of the White House

We are looking for a PhD candidate to conduct research on a project recently funded by the Research Fund Flanders (FWO), titled “The Professionalization of Science: Analysis and Normative Implications”. While the topic of the project seems very specific, it in fact concerns science & values in the broadest sense, and is situated at the intersection between philosophy of science and applied ethics. Apply via the following link: : https://www.kuleuven.be/ personeel/jobsite/jobs/ 55689213 Short description of the project   In the past two decades, the realization has grown that the phenomenon of scientific misconduct is not limited to a few ill-intentioned scientists – the proverbial ‘rotten apples’. It is now clear that there are also structural causes, and hence that scientific misconduct is intertwined with ‘questionable research practices’ and sloppy science.

To acknowledge the archive as a construct is to understand that power, as Michel-Rolph Trouillot has argued, “is constitutive of the story.” Yet, for too long historians have operated as if the archive were a foregone conclusion, ignoring the ways in which history is a narrative shaped as profoundly by omission as by any material presence. The archiving of history rarely proceeds from the primary impact of events. Archives, rather, follow as a consequence of the “winning” of history, through processes which obscure the underlying social relations, preferencing one history over another. “Effective silencing,” Trouillot suggests, “does not require a conspiracy, nor even a political consensus. Its roots are structural.”  Trouillot is but one of a number of contemporary theorists, including Foucault and Derrida, who’ve challenged inherited archival practice, inspiring new approaches to the archive’s construction. The present post-custodial mode, for example, promises a

Int. Workshop on Theory (Re-)Construction in the Empirical Social and Behavioral Sciences (TRC2020) Sat & Sun, 7-8 NOV 2020 (online or on-site) Boğaziçi University, Dpt. of Philosophy & Cognitive Science Program, 34342 Bebek /Istanbul, Turkey https://bit.ly/TRC-BOUN-2020 CALL FOR ABSTRACTS It has been repeatedly observed that the Empirical Social and Behavioral Sciences (ESBS) lack well-developed theoretical superstructures , structures that researchers could apply to generate (point-) predictive empirical hypotheses . The MTR project treats this lacuna as an important reason to explain, and to treat, the ongoing replicability crisis in the ESBS.  We invite abstracts from any scientific field addressing this lacuna via reconstructions of empirical theories (from the ESBS or not), research on frameworks (or methods) for theory reconstruction , synchronic or diachronic work on concept formation/ontology in the ESBS, and explanatory accounts why this lacuna pe
