Call for Papers Theme: New Worlds of Knowledge Subtitle: Retracing the Footprints of Theory and Critique Type: International Workshop Institution: International Research Network on Latin America and the Global History of Knowledge (LAGLOBAL) Location: Quito (Ecuador) Date: 10.–12.1.2018 Deadline: 15.10.2017 __________________________________________________ Modern knowledge was not made in a few European ‘centres of calculus’ and then dispensed to the rest of the world as science and theory. Instead, for centuries many centres of calculus and debate both far from and loosely connected to ‘Europe’ have produced new knowledge and theory. Such centres have at times also made epistemological critiques of ‘European’ theory. At the same time, knowing subjects have moved around, connecting courts and centres of calculus in often surprising ways, producing ‘entangled’ or ‘connected’ knowledges, occasionally on a global scale. At this LAGLOBAL workshop, leading scholars in the emerging field of history of knowledge will explore the ways and means by which New World or Ibero-American and Caribbean centres and subjects came to shape modern practices of theory and critique. We are particularly interested in papers that present case studies of centres or sites (universities, missions, courts, libraries, academies, institutes, museums, salons, cafes), practices (printing, collecting, drawing, recording, writing, experimenting, teaching, performing, pirating, selling), and/or individuals (cosmographers, polymaths, historians, scientists, artisans, etc.), that make connections with or indeed shape wider trends and debates in Europe, Africa and Asia. Please submit your paper title, a 200-word abstract, and 3-page CV to Jose Guevara at jose.guev...@postgrad.sas.ac.uk as soon as possible but no later than October 15, 2017.
