Historical Moment

AbstractRecent scholarship on the history of science and medicine has begun to consider the diversity of sites, markets, and audiences for scientific knowledge. This article investigates a single publicly accessible location: Vienna's Prater park. At a time when the Second Vienna Medical School led the world in anatomy and pathology, two case studies demonstrate how knowledge about human anatomy entered thefin-de-siècleViennese public sphere in a noninstitutional setting. Josef Hyrtl, an anatomist, and Hermann Präuscher, a showman, employed targeted marketing strategies for their anatomical preparations to facilitate the circulation of anatomical knowledge among the socially diverse audiences that congregated on the fairground. Examining how anatomy was visualized and discursively constructed, alongside questions of site, accessibility, and audience response, sheds light on a pivotal historical moment when the meaning of the human body was undergoing significant transformation in Austrian society.

‘All creatures great and small’ provides an abridged history of veterinary science, which helps highlight how veterinary scientific developments have progressed alongside other scientific fields and social changes in how we treat animals. From early civilizations in Mesopotamia to the developing scientific knowledge in Ancient Greece and Rome, and from the 17th-century scientific revolution to the 18th-century Enlightenment, veterinary science has progressed alongside medical knowledge. The impact of the world wars and then increased farming productivity in peacetime is discussed along with modern developments in the digital age. Nowadays, veterinary science is both scientific and clinical, but at its core it is about non-human animal physical, mental, and social well-being.

Abstract It has often been said it would be impossible to write the history of the empire of Trebizond (1204-1461) without the terse and often frustratingly laconic chronicle of the Grand Komnenoi by the protonotarios of Alexios III (1349-1390), Michael Panaretos. While recent scholarship has infinitely enhanced our knowledge of the world in which Panaretos lived, it has been approximately seventy years since a scholar dedicated a historiographical study to the text. This study examines the world that Panaretos wanted posterity to see, examining how his post as imperial secretary and his use of sources shaped his representation of reality, whether that reality was Trebizond’s experience of foreigners, the reign of Alexios III, or a narrative that showed the superiority of Trebizond on the international stage. Finally by scrutinizing Panaretos in this way, this paper also illuminates how modern historians of Trebizond have been led astray by the chronicler, unaware of how Panaretos selected material for inclusion for the narratives of his chronicle.

Second Wave

AbstractThis essay provides a survey of emblematic works of recent scholarship on Taiwanese identity written in English and Chinese by scholars from around the world. The objective is to determine what a post-2000 “second wave” of scholarship says about the definition and origins of island-wide Taiwanese identities. This second wave is distinguished by a greater attention to pre-1945 and martial law era Taiwanese history, more attention to a range of identities, both national and non-national, and by the use of sources that had not been readily available to scholars writing in the 1980s and 1990s. I argue that recent works have advanced the field considerably, but that they are too heavily influenced by contemporary debates over Taiwanese independence and too reliant on literary sources to fully answer the question of “who are the Taiwanese?” I conclude by suggesting directions for future scholarship on the subject.

The Impact

Online technology advances and the reduction of their cost have facilitated their use by museums. Today, internet users visit museums’ websites around the world on regular basis. Website design helps to disseminate information and multimedia content from exhibitions and to attract visitors as well. The integrated communication strategy of the museums has changed due to digital museums development. The exhibits of anatomical museums present the complexity of human anatomy to medical students and to general public. Visiting of such museums could be difficult as the impact of their exhibits on visitors could lead to various reactions. These museums offer medical knowledge employing anatomical maps, bones, cadavers and various items explaining the history of anatomy and medicine. The aim of this research is to create and present a digital multimedia museum of Anatomy, located at the School of Medicine, Faculty of Health Sciences of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. The results of this study focus on the development of a digital museum for citizens, that offers an integrated, open access experience for all. The research contributes to the construction of anatomical museums’ digital presence using online new technologies and multimedia content.

ABSTRACT:This article aims to describe the importance of complexity and transdisciplinarity as a way to supplement the disciplinary and fragmenting model of education. We can observe that the history of knowledge has great influence of this fragmenting logic. This observation leads us to the Cartesian method, Baconian, where in order to understand the world we might break it up, fragment it so it can be better understood. This paradigm was elated and had its value in a given historical moment and still has essential influences in our education. However, in the contemporary period we have had several discussions about the disciplinary paradigm, where everything is done in a specialized and segmented way. We have seen several proposals reviewing and analyzing the basics of this model and proposing others that can complement it or even overcome it. In this sense, we intend to present the importance of complex and transdisciplinary paradigm that have supported some educational institutions in Brazil. We thus intend, through this article, describe the epistemological and methodological aspects of this debate, and present the result of four institutions that develops its activities based on these proaches.RESUMO:O artigo visa descrever a importância da complexidade e transdisciplinaridade como forma de suprir o modelo disciplinar e fragmentador da educação. Podemos observar que a história do conhecimento tem grande influência da lógica fragmentadora. Essa constatação nos remete ao método cartesiano, baconiano, onde para se entender o mundo deveria dividi-lo, fragmentá-lo para que possa ser melhor compreendido. Esse paradigma foi exaltado e teve seu valor num dado momento histórico e exerce até os dias de hoje imprescindíveis influências na nossa educação. Contudo, no período contemporâneo temos tido diversas reflexões a respeito do paradigma disciplinar, onde tudo é realizado de forma especializada e segmentada. Temos visto surgir diversas propostas revendo e analisando os fundamentos desse modelo e propondo outros que possam complementá-lo ou mesmo superá-lo. Nesse sentido, pretendemos apresentar a importância do paradigma complexo e transdis-ciplinar que têm apoiado algumas instituições de ensino no Brasil. Pretendemos assim, através desse artigo, descrever os aspectos epistemológicos e metodológicos desse debate, bem como apresentar o resultado de quatro instituições que desenvolvem suas atividades a partir dessas abordagens. Contacto principal: [email protected]

AbstractIn the 1870s, the American prison reformer E. C. Wines attempted to bring together representatives from every country and colony in the world to discuss the administration and reform of the prison, under the auspices of the International Prison Congress. This article tackles the challenge by exploring how the international congress operated as both a social scientific technology and a diplomatic forum that emerged from this short-lived world of amateur social science and diplomacy. It argues that the exigencies of the international congress as a social scientific space forced it to take on diplomatic and political functions that both imprinted a logic of comparability onto the burgeoning international diplomatic system and also caused the eventual exclusion of non-European polities from the congresses. It engages with recent scholarship in history of science specifically to understand the international congress as a technology that mediated intellectual exchange and scientific communication. By examining the challenges posed by the inclusion of non-Western polities in such communication, it attempts to reveal the multiple global histories of the social sciences in the late nineteenth century.

Filistin tarihinde yaşanan 1948 ve 1967 savaşları, binlerce Filistinlinin başka ülkelere göç etmesine neden olmuştur. Günümüzde, dünya genelinde yaşayan Filistinli mülteci sayısının beş milyonu aştığı tahmin edilmektedir. Ülkelerine geri dönemeyen Filistinlilerin mültecilik deneyimleri uzun bir geçmişe sahiptir ve köklerinden koparılma duygusu ile iç içe geçmiştir. Mersin’de bulunan Filistinlilerin zorunlu olarak çıktıkları göç yollarında yaşadıklarının ve mülteci olarak günlük hayatta karşılaştıkları zorlukların Filistinli kimlikleri üzerindeki etkisi sözlü tarih yöntemi ile incelenmiştir. Farklı kuşaklardan sekiz Filistinli mülteci ile yapılan görüşmelerde, dünyanın farklı bölgelerinde mülteci olarak yaşama deneyiminin, Filistinlilerin ulusal bağlılıklarına zarar vermediği görülmüştür. Filistin, mültecilerin yaşamlarında gelenekler, değerler ve duygusal bağlar ile devam etmektedir. Mültecilerin Filistin’den ayrılırken yanlarına aldıkları anahtar, tapu ve toprak gibi nesnelerin saklanıyor olması, Filistin’e olan bağlılığın devam ettiğinin işaretlerinden biridir.ABSTRACT IN ENGLISHPalestinian refugees’ lives in MersinIn the history of Palestine, 1948 and 1967 wars have caused fleeing of thousands of Palestinians to other countries.
