Autor: Juan Ignacio Carmona García En la obra se analizan los factores y elementos condicionantes del estado de salud de la población. Tras una introducción temática, se desarrolla en primer lugar los vinculados con la alimentación (la comida necesaria, el sustento alternativo), pasando luego a tratar de las aguas (de su ingesta y utilización para el aseo), de los contextos ambientales y los habitáculos, analizados desde la perspectiva higiénica. Ante el cúmulo de componentes dañinos que se daban, se intentaron aplicar determinadas medidas profilácticas y de protección pública para enfrentar la morbosidad social (infecciones y dolencias corrientes), tal como se pone de manifiesto en el capítulo correspondiente. El socorro hospitalario dispensado frente a las enfermedades comunes constituye otro apartado, al que sigue uno específico sobre los lazaretos de apestados. Como epílogo se expone la temática de la muerte masiva y la problemática sanitaria de los enterramientos. El marco cronol...

Dante and the Sciences of the Human: Medicine, Physics, Soul Renaissance Society of America Annual Meeting, March 30 – 2 April 2022   In October 2021, the  Center for the Study of Medicine and the Body in the Renaissance  (CSMBR) will join the worldwide celebrations for the 700th anniversary of Dante Alighieri’s death (1321–2021) with an international online symposium dedicated to Dante’s poetry and science. Gathering scholars who approach his work and times from interdisciplinary perspectives, the webinar will address how Dante shaped an understanding of the human body and mind, and his relationship with medical and scientific thought in his philosophical and literary production.      Building on this interdisciplinary event, and sponsored by the Dante Society of America, this panel intends to continue the conversation on Dante’s legacy in the early modern era. The panel will address how Dante shaped an understanding of the human body and mind, and how his...

November 05-06th, 2021 Local organizer: Matthieu Ballandonne The fourteenth History of Recent Economics Conference (HISRECO) will be held at the ESSCA School of management, Angers (France) on 05-06 November 2020. In case of Covid restrictions, the conference will be online. Since 2007, HISRECO has brought together researchers from various backgrounds to study the history of economics in the postwar period. The increasing availability of archival materials, along with the development of new perspectives inherited from the larger history and sociology of knowledge, has helped to provide insightful histories of the development of recent economic practices, ideas, and techniques. In particular, this area of research offers good opportunities to young scholars who are interested in interdisciplinary approaches to the history of economics. We invite researchers in the history of postwar economics and related fields to submit a paper proposal of no more than 800 words. Paper proposals that us...

When: 2./3. December 2021 Where: Technisches Museum Wien, Vienna, Austria Deadline: 15. July 2021 Keywords: Food, Exhibiting Food, Queer(y)ing Food Collections, Gender and Sexuality, Science and Technology, Material Culture   The study of human nutrition, its foundations and practices has established itself as an interdisciplinary field and is tangential to sociology, history, cultural and social anthropology, and philosophy, among others. Food is explored as a cultural and social phenomenon that carries symbolic and material dimensions (e.g., from a gender perspective: Tanja Paulitz) and raises questions of identity (e.g., from an intersectional perspective: Psyche Williams-Forson). Food and its production - from the field to the plate - are topics of consumer, economic, social and technological history (e.g., Uwe Spiekermann). When the history of the body is addressed, nutrition and gender finally come into view from a mostly critical, (queer) feminist perspective, e.g., in the f...

The 21st Trends in Logic international conference will be held at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, from December 6-December 8, 2021 under the title “Frontiers of connexive logic”. It is organized by the chairs of Logic and Epistemology and Nonclassical Logic at the Department of Philosophy I of Ruhr University Bochum, in co-operation with Studia Logica. Modern connexive logic started in the 1960s with seminal papers by Richard B. Angell and Storrs McCall. Connexive logics are orthogonal to classical logic insofar as they validate certain non-theorems of classical logic, namely - Aristotle's Theses: ~(~A => A), ~(A => ~A) - Boethius' Theses: (A => B)=> ~(A => ~B), (A => ~B) => ~(A => B) Systems of connexive logic have been motivated by considerations on a content connection between the antecedent and succedent of valid implications and by applications that range from Aristotle's syllogistic to Categorial Grammar and the study of causal implications. S...

  AHRC-funded Collaborative PhD Studentship with the University of Exeter and BT Archives: Race, Ethnicity and Telecommunications in Britain and its Empire, 1850-present The College of Humanities in the University of Exeter and BT Archives invite applications for a fully-funded 3.75 year (or part-time equivalent) PhD studentship starting in September 2021. The studentship is funded via the AHRC’s Collaborative Doctoral Partnership Scheme. Drawing on underexplored materials in BT Archives and elsewhere, this project explores the Black, Middle Eastern and South/East Asian people who worked for the British domestic and overseas telecommunications services from the 1850s to the present. It examines their working experiences and their significant contributions to the construction, operation and technological development of telegraphic and telephonic services – issues largely overlooked in the historiography. The student will produce a highly original piece of historical research and con...

In the 2017 science fiction novel An Unkindness of Ghosts , nonbinary author Rivers Solomon depicts a conversation between two gender nonconforming characters. The protagonist, Aster, describes their friend Theo as “an anomaly of a man.” In response, Theo proposes, confidingly, that they are perhaps “not a man at all.” With this, Aster concurs: “Aye. You gender-malcontent. You otherling.” The history of the noun “otherling” is relatively short. Modern usage seems to have begun in the 1950s when the term appeared in sci-fi magazines such as Space Science , where it was used to describe a particular species (the “Otherlings”). Since then and into the twenty-first century, the word “otherling” has remained largely ensconced in sci-fi and fantasy literature, where it typically denotes a strange being with unique or exceptional qualities.    With the theme “Otherlings,” this volume of Philament invites authors to reengage with the longstanding philosophical and theoretical for...
