Llamado de ponencias Coloquio internacional: “ Historias alternativas de la fisiología: En la búsqueda de miradas comparadas y transnacionales en América Latina ” Bogotá, Universidad del Rosario.  Agosto 7 y 8 de 2014.

En particular queremos explorar estudios de caso que aborden la fisiología como un conjunto d...

Among the most important and exciting trends in recent historical scholarship has been the shift toward international, transnational, and global studies of the past. By moving beyond the nation state as a primary category of analysis, historians have begun to consider the ways that people, commodities, and ideas traverse geographical borders. They have worked to recover the histories of international organizations, both governmental and non-state. They have analyzed the reciprocal and hybrid nature of global exchanges.
