Propuestas de comunicaciones entre el 30 de enero y el 15 de abril de 2022   Los giros historiográficos del fin del siglo XX han construido un paisaje de la investigación histórica donde trabajo y economía se han transparentado hacia el fondo del mismo para dejar en primer plano otras preocupaciones sobre la cultura, la sexualidad, el poder o los discursos.   Este es un congreso impulsado desde un equipo interdisciplinar trabajando en un proyecto sobre las mujeres y el trabajo en Andalucía, pero hacemos esta convocatoria sin límites disciplinares, territoriales o temporales, para ello se han propuesto treinta mesas temáticas que pueden consultarse en: https://www.cehval.es/llamamiento-congreso/ Mesa 30.

Confirmed keynote speakers: Peter Galison  (Harvard) Catherine Jones  (MIT) Abstract  [for full abstract see  here ] The 7th International Workshop on Historical Epistemology is dedicated to exploring new ways of approaching the historical, conceptual, methodological, and technical relations between the arts and the sciences. Rather than looking for logical criteria for demarcating these domains, the workshop aims to question the arts/sciences dyad from the vantage point of its history. If the armchair philosopher recognizes demarcations among cognitive, perceptual, or operational domains, what can historical epistemology teach us about the boundary lines or relationship between the arts and the sciences? What might a historicized approach to the epistemological question of the different ways of accessing reality, of capturing or intervening in the world, add to our discussion? Can the distinction between scientific discovery and artistic creation be tackled from the...

During the nineteenth and twentieth centuries urbanization and industrialization altered the environment in a dramatic fashion throughout Europe. Much of this change in East-Central Europe was instigated, facilitated and coordinated by the state. The economic and technological intervention by the state and its interconnectedness with capitalism and science has had tremendous ecological consequences since the eighteenth century. According to James Scott, one of the most well-known critics of the modern state and its ecological impact, bureaucratic regimes’ aim to organize their societies according to the technocratic principles of “high modernism” has been devastating to the environment. Scott maintains that the centralized modernization attempts often failed to take local knowledge into account and amplified the forces of homogenization, uniformity, grids, and heroic simplification. Although there have been substantial studies related to the complex interconnectedness of state-interven...
