Pathological Realities - Essays On Disease, Experiments, And History

de Mirko Grmek

31,79€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Mirko D. Grmek (1924-2000) is one of the most significant figures in the history of medicine, and has long been considered a pioneer of the field. The singular trajectory that took Grmek from Yugoslavia to the academic culture of post-war France placed him at the crossroads of different intellectual trends and made him an influential figure during the second half of the twentieth century. Yet, scholars have rarely attempted to articulate his distinctive vision of the history of science and medicine with all its tensions, contradictions, and ambiguities. This volume brings together and publishes for the first time in English a range of Grmeks writings, providing a portrait of his entire career as a historian of science and an engaged intellectual figure. Pathological Realities pieces together Grmeks scholarship that reveals the interconnections of diseases, societies, and medical theories. Straddling the sciences and the humanities, Grmek crafted significant new concepts and methods to engage with contemporary social problems such as wars, genocides and pandemics. Uniting some major strands of his published work that are still dispersed or simply unknown, this volume covers the deep epistemological changes in historical conceptions of disease as well as major advances within the life sciences and their historiography. Opening with a classic essay Preliminaries for a Historical Study of Diseases, this volume introduces Grmeks notions of pathocenosis and emerging infections, illustrating them with historical and contemporary cases. Pathological Realities also showcases Grmeks pioneering approach to the history of science and medicine using laboratory notebooks as well as his original work on biological thought and the role of ideologies and myths in the history of science. The essays assembled here reveal Grmeks significant influence and continued relevance for current research in the history of medicine and biology, medical humanities, science studies, and the philosophy of science.

The Eclipse Of The Utopias Of Labor

de Anson Rabinbach

33,11€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The Eclipse of the Utopias of Labor traces the shift from the eighteenth-century concept of man as machine to the late twentieth-century notion of digital organisms. Step by stepfrom Jacques de Vaucanson and his Digesting Duck, through Karl Marxs Capital, Hermann von Helmholtzs social thermodynamics, Albert Speers Beauty of Labor program in Nazi Germany, and on to the post-Fordist workplace, Rabinbach shows how society, the body, and labor utopias dreamt up future societies and worked to bring them about. This masterful follow-up to The Human Motor, Rabinbachs brilliant study of the European science of work, bridges intellectual history, labor history, and the history of the body. It shows the intellectual and policy reasons as to how a utopia of the body as motor won wide acceptance and moved beyond the man as machine model before tracing its steep decline after 1945and along with it the eclipse of the great hopes that a more efficient workplace could provide the basis of a new, more socially satisfactory society.

Being Brains - Making The Cerebral Subject

de Fernando Vidal e Francisco Ortega

33,11€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Being Brains offers a critical exploration of neurocentrism, the belief that we are our brains, which became widespread in the 1990s. Encouraged by advances in neuroimaging, the humanities and social sciences have taken a neural turn, in the form of neuro-subspecialties in fields such as anthropology, aesthetics, education, history, law, sociology, and theology. Dubious but successful commercial enterprises such as neuromarketing and neurobics have emerged to take advantage of the heightened sensitivity to all things neuro. While neither hegemonic nor monolithic, the neurocentric view embodies a powerful ideology that is at the heart of some of todays most important philosophical, ethical, scientific, and political debates. Being Brains, chosen as 2018 Outstanding Book in the History of the Neurosciences by the International Society for the History of the Neurosciences, examines the internal logic of such ideology, its genealogy, and its main contemporary incarnations.
