7/22/2020 - 9/13/2020
The Project TechNetEmpire welcomes proposals for oral presentations for the workshop TechNetEMPIRE: Networks, People and Institutions, until September 13 2020. The event, held on November 13-14 2020, is organized by Lab2PT (EAUM / ICS) and CHAM (Faculty of Social and Human Sciences - NOVA FCSH).
The
workshop takes the project theme as a starting point. The aim is to look to
agents related to the built environment transformation across Portugal and the
Portuguese Empire in order to understand how technoscience networks were
created and shaped throughout time and different geographies.
Following
the flow of knowledge over time and observing the patterns and agents
responsible for the dissemination and circulation of technoscience, one will be
looking to an increasingly global world. It is also important to consider the
role of Portugal and the Portuguese Empire in this change and transformation
process in an increasingly interconnected planet. The time frame considers a
period between the creation of the Aula de Fortificação e Arquitectura Militar
(Fortification and Military Architecture Class) in 1647 and the shutdown of the
Escola Mathemática e Militar (Mathematical and Military School) in Goa in 1871.
Proposals
(maximum 300 words) must be submitted together with a biographical note
(maximum 100 words) by the September 13, 2020 using the form: https://forms.gle/DR1AVMQJVHHPrH8g9.
Some
proposals might be selected for publication.
