Conecta. Desde 1995

Autor/a: Sam Fernández-Garrido Prólogo: Siobhan Guerrero Epílogo: Mer Gómez ¿Por qué biólogues y clíniques necesitan escuchar e incorporar a las personas, los colectivos y las culturas intersex? ¿Cómo transforma este contacto el conocimiento experto de la biología y las recomendaciones de la clínica? ¿Qué implicaciones presenta para definir cuál es la longitud «adecuada» de una vagina y cuánto debe dar de sí (biológica y existencialmente)? A través de estas preguntas, Artesanías biológicas invita a un diálogo sobre la biología y la medicina desde las epistemologías feministas, los estudios sociales de la ciencia y la diversidad corposexual. Sam Fernández-Garrido nos propone deshacer las divisiones rígidas entre los saberes biológicos expertos y los saberes «legos», como una práctica bioluminiscente a través de la que recuperar visiones de los tejidos, las hormonas y los cuerpos clínicamente significativas aunque históricamente subaternizadas. Esta obra es una aportación al campo de las...

Deadline:  Wednesday 22 October 2025, 23:59 (Mexico City) This is an open call for abstracts for inclusion in a Special Issue proposal for the journal Mortality: https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/cmrt20 Current status. The Mortality Editorial Board plans to review Special Issue proposals in November 2025. If our proposal is invited, we will request full papers.

Showing Death in the Nineteenth Century: Bodies, Matter, Representations National Academy of Medicine, Paris, 26 March 2026 Invited speakers Anne Carol, Aix-Marseille Université Eloïse Quetel, Sorbonne-Université Michael Sappol, Visiting Researcher, Uppsala University   Call for Papers   As Jean-Paul Sartre wrote, ‘to be dead is to be a prey for the living’ (1956, 593). The vulnerability of the dead, described by the French philosopher, applies to their memories as well as their bodies. Death is, indeed, not merely absence but requires us to face the materiality of the corpse. This one-day international conference intends to show that studying the nineteenth-century relationship to death, as an omnipresent – destructive, but familiar – reality, can inform our own contemporary attitudes and reveal how nineteenth-century representations still shape our own death culture.  The nineteenth-century Western world witnessed a shifting interest in the materiality of death and in t...

Editors: Amelia Bonea and Irina Nastasă-Matei. This volume explores, from global, multilingual and intersectional perspectives, the experiences of women in science, engineering and medicine in the twentieth century. Some, like the American evolutionary biologist Lynn Margulis, were fairly visible actors in the academic and public arenas of professional science. Others, like the doctors working in secondary schools in interwar Romania or those who struggled to alleviate ‘women’s illnesses’ in famine-stricken rural areas during China’s Great Leap Forward, have been largely invisible – as medical practitioners, creators of knowledge, educators and subjects of historical inquiry. The volume investigates the nature and extent of women’s in/visibility in science, engineering and medicine in the twentieth century, seeking to document the factors that underpinned it and understand how women navigated their circumstances. When and why did women become invisible? When and how did they seek visib...
