Call for Papers
The next European Social Science History Association Conference is due to take
place in Amsterdam, 22 - 25 March 2006. For general information on the biannual
conferences and the organising institution and for registration (including
paper proposal procedures), see http://www.iisg.nl/esshc
As chairs of the health network, we invite proposals for panels or individual
papers of any subject dealing with the social history of health. While
individual papers are welcome, panels consisting of three contributors and one
chair and discussant have a higher chance of being accepted. We particularly
encourage panels organised around a central theme with papers covering
different perspectives on this theme, especially those with comparative
approach, bringing together contributions on different regions and / or time
periods.
Suggestions are particularly encouraged on the topics listed below. But
proposals on other topics are very welcome as well.
1. Health and Ideologies - both theoretical considerations and practical
examples of how ideological concepts of health and medicine has interacted with
the experience of health
2. Global Health - Possible sub-themes: travels of disease; the Ecological
Imperialism Revisited; globalisation; plague, cholera, Aids, SARS .
3. Colonial Health - Themes: colonial medicine as a means of negotiating power
between colonialists and colonised and also within both groups; racism;
orientalism;
4. Moral Health - Disease as part of medical and moral discourses (venereal
disease, alcoholism .)
5. Occupational Health - including injuries, insurance, long-term health
hazards
6. Health as Commodity - Themes: developments of the market for medication,
health foods and other health products; interaction between physicians,
scientists and businessmen
7. Methodological / Historiographical topics: papers that address ways of
interpreting historical health data, either as case studies or from a
theoretical point of view.
8. Nutrition as Health Factor - how has it interacted with cultural, economic
and ideological aspects?
Panel chairs can also act as discussants. Discussants have an important role in
stimulating discussions, which should take up a substantial part of the panel
time. As a means, it is recommended that they can identify central issues of
the papers, point of similarities and differences and raise individual or
general questions.
The deadline is May 1, 2005.
