10th European Spring School on History of Science and Popularization (ESS); Montserrat Cabré (Univ. de Cantabria) and Teresa Ortiz-Gómez (Univ. de Granada) (Web)
Venue: Institut Menorqui d’Estudis, Mao; Balearic Islands, Spain
Time: 23.-25.05.2019
The aim of the 10th ESS 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.
