El profesor de historia de la ciencia de la  Universidad de Valencia  e investigador del IILP  Enric Novella  ha coordinado la edición del volumen colectivo  La clínica de la subjetividad. Psicopatología (estructural) y cultura (contemporánea) , publicado a finales de 2025 por la editorial  Tirant Humanidades . Partiendo de la apreciación ampliamente extendida de que la psiquiatría y la psicología clínica se enfrentan a una importante crisis de legitimidad derivada de su insistencia en acometer el estudio de la subjetividad con los métodos y presupuestos de la ciencia natural, este libro examina desde una perspectiva multidisciplinar (histórica, clínica, antropológica y literaria) los orígenes, los fundamentos y la inserción cultural de la aproximación holista, reconstructiva y hermenéutica a la experiencia de la locura y el sufrimiento psíquico propugnada por la psicopatología estructural y, más concretamente, p...

Call for Papers for the session "Women, Sacred Landscapes, and Ritual Mobility in the Ancient Mediterranean" as part of the 32nd Annual Meeting of the European Association of Archaeologists in 2026 in Athens in Greece, August 26-29:  Women, Sacred Landscapes, and Ritual Mobility in the Ancient Mediterranean The session explores the intersections of gender, movement and sacred space in the ancient Mediterranean by foregrounding women’s active engagement with religious space and cult. Across diverse cultural and ethnic contexts, women carried out acts of devotion that transcended domestic boundaries and reshaped religious environments. For this session, we seek papers examining the impact of female agency on the formation of votive and cult practices beyond household and town settings, from peri-urban sanctuaries and cave shrines to sacred centers and distant dedication sites.  We welcome papers that explore women’s religious identities, practices and offerings and the social r...

Concept Note The ongoing transformations in the education sector, marked by the emergence of new enclosures of knowledge, privatisation and the accelerating AI-turn, have profoundly affected all arenas of ‘intellectual life’. Curricula, pedagogy, modes of research and intellectual labour are undergoing radical transformation both within and beyond the institutional framework of the university. One of the results of this change is the separation of  techne  from  episteme  - between the skills and labour involved in producing knowledge and a reflective understanding of how and why such knowledge is generated. In critically examining the process of knowledge production, circulation, and consumption, within and beyond the academy, it becomes crucial to interrogate how different practitioners contribute to knowledge making, critical thinking, and inaugurate newer forms of engagement. Taken together, these developments indicate that  how we produce knowledge, and how...

The term  Regimescape  refers to urban, architectural, and agricultural landscapes shaped by twentieth-century regimes as material manifestations of political ideology, social engineering, and modernist ambition. As Hannah Arendt observed, totalitarian power extends beyond institutions to the organization of space, nature, and everyday life; in this sense, architecture and landscape become essential instruments of governance and political legitimation. This volume offers a historical-critical reconsideration of these landscapes, moving beyond both celebratory narratives and uncritical erasure. The focus is on cities, monumental districts, infrastructure, land reclamation projects, and agricultural landscapes as sites where politics, technology, and ecology intertwined in meaningful ways, becoming tools of governance, economic development, and symbolic representation. Drawing on James C. Scott’s analysis of state-imposed territorial legibility, the volume investigates how regim...
