  Call for contributions to the edited volume: Science Diplomacy on Display: Mobile Atomic Exhibitions in the Cold War   Deadline for abstract submission: December 14, 2020.  Maria Rentetzi (TU Berlin) and Donatella Germanese (Max Planck Institute for the History of Science)   This collective volume moves beyond the bipolar Cold War history that portrays nuclear propagandist exhibitions as one-way communication for promoting the advantages and virtues of the two major and conflicting political powers. Instead,  Science Diplomacy on Display   follows mobile atomic exhibitions as they move across national borders and around the world functioning as spaces for diplomatic encounters that move within political and scientific networks of exchange and circulation. This volume seeks to trace the multiple and often contradictory meanings that mobile exhibitions took on for various actors. For the countries or even international organizations that designed and c...

HoST- Journal of History of Science and Technology  is an open access, on-line peer-reviewed international journal devoted to the History of Science and Technology, published in English by a group of Portuguese research institutions and De Gruyter/Sciendo. HoST encourages submissions of original historical research exploring the cultural, social and political dimensions of science, technology, and medicine (STM), both from a local and a global perspective. Past thematic issues have dealt with topics as diverse as circulation, science communication or the relation between science and politics. Future issues might deal with both established and emerging areas of scholarship.  The editors of  HoST  are looking for proposals for two thematic dossiers to be published in 2022  ( HoST  volume 16, issues 1 and 2). Each thematic dossier should be prepared by the guest editor(s) and include four research papers along with an introduction.   Proposals should incl...

  “The world is currently beset with global problems that threaten our future: the climate crisis; destruction of the natural world, loss of wild life, mass extinctions; pollution of earth, sea and air; lethal modern war; the menace of nuclear weapons; deranged politics assisted by the internet; and the pandemic (spread by modern travel). Some hold that all these global problems have been made possible by the extraordinarily successful pursuit of modern science and technology dissociated from a more fundamental concern to help humanity resolve conflicts and problems of living in more cooperatively rational ways, so that we may begin to make progress towards a better, wiser world. Are universities today, devoted as they are to the acquisition of knowledge, doing all that they might to help humanity solve our grave global problems? Or, do universities need to change, perhaps quite radically? If so, what changes need to be made, and how would these changes help? Do universities need t...

El marino e historiador Martín Fernández de Navarrete (1765-1844) fue reuniendo durante décadas la documentación necesaria para poder abordar la presente obra, con la que quiso reivindicar el papel de los españoles en el desarrollo de la Náutica, desde los primeros balbuceos de la brújula, o los primitivos ensayos de la artillería naval, hasta las últimas innovaciones del siglo ilustrado. Su amplia experiencia naval (que le llevó a combatir en numerosas campañas durante su juventud) le dio la necesaria perspectiva práctica que completó con el trabajo de muchos años de reflexión  y recopilación bibliográfica y documental que se refleja en estas páginas. Ilustre cervantista, bibliógrafo y, ante todo, marino,  Martín Fernández de Navarrete  (1765-1844) ejemplifica como pocos al historiador que recoge la mejor tradición de la historiografía ilustrada del siglo XVIII y la abre a la renovación metodológica que eclosionaría ya en el XIX. Infatigable recopilador de fuentes, graci...

In the Beginning was the Word - The Word as a Technical Artefact (Deadline: January 10th, 2021): The word is a technical object in a variety of ways, most famously perhaps as the „redeeming word“ known from fairy-tales, transformative spells, and magical thinking. Its current incarnation is the password or encryption key which opens...

  Workshop Organizers: Emily Herring (University of Ghent) and Mathilde Tahar (Université Toulouse Jean Jaurès) In his 1907 bestseller  Creative Evolution , the French philosopher Henri Bergson, weighed in on one of the burning issues of the day: biological evolution. He used an “image”, the  élan vital  (vital impetus) to describe the unpredictability, unity and branching nature of the history of life. The book earned Bergson international fame but also cemented the association between his name and a controversial label with a complex history: vitalism. In the words of philosophers Daniel Nicholson and Richard Gawne, nowadays, “to publicly accuse someone of harbouring vitalist views amounts to condemning them to the scorching fires of scientific hell”. This partially explains why current (in particular anglophone) historians and philosophers often ignore or disregard Bergson’s contribution to the history and philosophy of biology. As a result, the importance of Berg...

  Center for Historical Research, Science History Institute The historiography of alchemy has significantly expanded over the last decade, demonstrating that its theoretical and practical applications underpinned diverse medical and scientific advances in the early modern period. Alchemy was more than a scholarly, hermetic art: it was a dynamic, entrepreneurial pursuit that supported the rise of the early chemical and medical industries. While attempts to discover the philosophers’ stone were certainly a part of philosophical knowledge, alchemy and its outputs were embedded into European society, from dye-making and distilling to the development of new drugs. This virtual symposium will explore alchemy’s practical and applied uses and their lasting impact on chemistry, technology, medicine, experimentation, and the marketplace. Through explorations of entrepreneurship, patronage, and commerce, we will examine the place of alchemical knowledge, ingredients, and products in a proto-i...

Autoría: Ana Castañer, Anuska P. Castañer Juan P. Castañer, Reyes y Guillermo Pobo Bellido-Castañer El objetivo del libro es plasmar la labor de los médicos rurales, es un libro testimonial que recoge una documentación legada y en la que se aprecia la actividad y los medios con los que contaba un médico rural en la posguerra. La documentación por lo curiosa y singular proyecta a lo largo de las páginas del libro la actividad y las circunstancias de vida no solo del médico sino también de los habitantes del pueblo en un medio marcado por la escasez.
