Cicle: Desig natural de saber: Història natural als segles XVI i XVII entre política i art
Col·loqui: Sabina Brevaglieri, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz, “Natural desiderio di sapere. Roma barocca fra vecchi e nuovi mondi”.
Resum:
Natural desiderio di sapere és, el 1616, per Federico Cesi, Príncep dels Lincei, un mode plural di pensar el coneixement i el seu rol social i polític, en front de la incertesa provocada per l’eixamplament del món, pel perfilar-se de noves maneres de comprendre les relacions entre home i natura, pel confrontar-se amb una vida de cort, dominada per l’interès individual. Centre de la reivindicació universalista pontifícia i espai comunicatiu entre vells i nous mons, Roma emergeix, a l’alba de la Guerra dels Trenta Anys, com teatre barroc d’un projecte de capitalització de sabers, que mobilitza, apassionats virtuosos, filòsofs “esparracats”, metges mitjancers, aguerrits pintors, escultors en competició amb la natura, missioners a la recerca de legitimació. Explicar de manera del tot nova –la fascinant història del Tesoro messicano, imponent volum, tardanament publicat el 1651, significa, així, reconstruir un taller de producció naturalística, entre desconeguts exotica i artefactes estranyament familiars, intercanvis i competicions, conflictes i negociacions, publicitat i secret, utilitzant els sabers com una lent potent per la dinàmica històrica.

10th European Spring School on History of Science and Popularization
HANDLING THE BODY, TAKING CONTROL: TECHNOLOGIES OF THE GENDERED BODY
Institut Menorquí d’Estudis, Maó (Balearic Islands, Spain) 23-25 May 2019
Organized by the Catalan Society for the History of Science and the Institut Menorquí d’Estudis
Coordinated by Montserrat Cabré and Teresa Ortiz-Gómez
CALL FOR PROPOSALS
The aim of the 10th European Spring School [ESS] “Handling the body, taking control: Technologies of the gendered body” is to encompass a diversity of themes around the axis of the historical construction of the gendered body as a locus of both empowerment and disempowerment and the place of the natural philosophical and biomedical disciplines in shaping the political and subjective dimensions of human experience.
The School is particularly concerned with exploring how diverse intellectual and social movements have struggled to gain authority and cultural hegemony over women ́s bodies by way of defining sexual difference and the gendered body.
As in previous sessions, this ESS is structured in four key-note lectures and a research workshop. The keynote lectures will be delivered by four outstanding scholars covering areas such as sexual practices, the language of physiology, visual representations and feminist definitions of health expertise.
The ESS is envisaged as a space for junior scholars to discuss their current work-in- progress with colleagues in a creative and supportive environment. The workshop will be organized in three thematic paper sessions and one poster session. All contributions –in both paper and poster format- will be commented by participants, lecturers and organizers of the School. Sessions and discussions will be conducted in English.
The ESS “Handling the body, taking control: Technologies of the gendered body” is open to graduate students, early career scholars, professionals, and activists concerned about past and present approaches to the gendered body and the analysis of the epistemological frameworks that feminism has developped to analyse them.
Participants would be expected to address such issues as:
- Abortion and contraceptive cultures
- Expert knowledge and experiences of pregnancy and birth
- Feminist activism and body technologies Feminist epistemologies of the body Gendered biopolitics
- Illness, sickness, disease
- Medical constructions of sexual difference Patologization and depatologization of the female body
- Sexual education and women’s health knowledge Sexual violence, perceptions of harrassment and rape
- Sexualities, female sexuality and asexuality
- Visual and textual discourses of the gendered body
- Women’s sexual desire and medical knowledge on female sexuality Women’s versus medical representations of the female body
Please send proposals to discuss your research (around 300 words) before October 30 to Montserrat Cabré and Teresa Ortiz-Gómez at: 10thEES@gmail.com
A limited number of grants will be available for graduate students and early career researchers.
