Invitamos a la comunidad académica a presentar trabajos para el panel titulado "Las respuestas a las enfermedades raras y estigmatizadas: entre la filantropía y el asociacionismo de los pacientes. Perspectiva comparada: Brasil, España y Portugal (siglo XX)", que se celebrará en el marco del V Congreso de la ABRE, en la Universidad de Salamanca. Ana Nemi. Profesora Asociada de Historia Contemporánea de la Universidad Federal de São Paulo. Juan Antonio Rodríguez Sánchez. Profesor Titular de Historia de la Ciencia de la Universidad de Salamanca. Más información en: https://cebusal.es/v-congreso-abre-salamanca-2025/ En la historia de la medicina y la salud pública del siglo XX, incluso al observar las opciones políticas nacionales y los sistemas de salud creados, es posible destacar algunos aspectos que se vinculan y son de interés para esta propuesta: El fortalecimiento de un modelo de filantropía que aunó la asistencia sanitaria con los privilegios fiscales para institucione...

This three-day workshop explores endings and beginnings over and under the surface along the Strait of Gibraltar, one of the world’s busiest waterways, with base will be Algeciras. It is organized by MedNet and ANTSEAS EASA networks and the ECR-funded project Discovering the (deep) Mediterranean. In Algeciras, keynotes and academic discussions will be interspersed with local tours of sites and topics. The focus will be on-site conversation and collective thinking in relation to the workshop theme and site. Applicants from any discipline with relevant research profile or interest are welcome to apply. Theme : In ancient Greece, the Strait of Gibraltar marked the end of the civilized world and human exploration evinced by its name   Non plus ultra   (nothing further beyond). With the strait as vantage point, the workshop   The sea ends here explores ends and endings connected to movements in and across the Mediterranean and oceans. Where does a sea, a maritime route, a refu...

The Papal States and the Kingdom of Naples are generally considered separately by the historiography of the early modern period. The political division between the two states thus becomes, from a simple disciplinary boundary, a frontier that divides spaces whose social, intellectual, and religious history is represented as two different entities. The localisms that characterize these historiographies – caused as much by the particularities of local archives as by academic divisions – nevertheless allow to see some coherent spaces: the Adriatic maritime space or the pastoral paths of Abruzzo, for example. While recent works inspired by global and connected history propose to revisit the construction and representation of spaces, as with Atlantic or Mediterranean history, this panel aims to explore the communication routes and points of exchange and the impact of natural environment in the effective circulation of people, goods, and ideas between the Papal States and the Kingdom of Naple...

Invitamos a investigadoras e investigadores a reflexionar sobre el  fin de siècle  como una encrucijada en torno a las identidades políticas y médicas. Queremos construir un espacio de reflexión sobre la tensión entre el mundo que desaparece y el nuevo que emerge desde una perspectiva de historia social, cultural y política. Nos centraremos en dos vertientes de esta «crisis». Por un lado, la reconfiguración de la identidad nacional en el ámbito ideológico e intelectual como resultado del desastre del 98 o del decadentismo concomitante, y con la consecuencia del afán por una regeneración estructural y una modernización por parte de los nuevos intelectuales en la esfera pública. Por otro lado, la reestructuración de la identidad médica: el desplazamiento del paradigma hipocrático y galénico en favor de la bacteriología, los problemas vinculados a la especialización y la institucionalización, la importancia del acceso de las mujeres a las universidades o la batalla profesional po...

In what way can “A = A” provide students or readers an insight into the fundamental tenets of a philosophical system of science? Around 1800, answering this question seems almost redundant. The use of algebra (mainly through further algebraic elaborations and complications of the Aristotelian identity principle A = A) in the explication of problems and systematic foundations greatly intensifies. Curiously, this practice is not merely found among doctrinal allies who could be expected to share the same methodology, but also among avowed enemies. This shows a remarkably intense commitment to the importance of algebra, as i) a notational system that can capture systematic complexity, as ii) an aspirational form of philosophical presentation and, most of all, as iii) a way of e xplicating systematic complexity in a form that is easily comprehensible .   In the 20th century, the use of algebra (among other mathematical approaches) to render philosophical problems accessible became contr...

Institute of Philosophy ,   KU Leuven, October 2-4, 2025   Foucault claims in  The Order of Things  that, from the early seventeenth century onward, “thought ceases to move in the element of resemblance” and that “similitude” comes to be regarded as the source of error rather than knowledge (Foucault 1966/1970, 56). Yet there is little doubt that  modern  scientists and philosophers continued to rely on the use of analogies at least to substantiate working hypotheses concerning lesser-known objects of inquiry. Thus, Newton’s third rule defends the use of analogical inferences on the ground that nature is “ever consonant with itself” (Newton 1687/1999, 795).  V ery few steps were taken in eighteenth-century physiology without drawing analogies between features of Newtonian celestial mechanics and organic phenomena. Goethe and Schelling, among others, made abundant use of analogies to penetrate aspects of nature considered to resist a purely mechanical e...
