ArgumentSince the 19th century until nowadays several wars marked History, which effects are still present in the collective memory. The different military conflicts had a direct impact on health of military as well as civilians, namely of the families that stayed far from the conflicts. In a way, there were an important number of casualties, and in another way, those that were wounded, invalid and sick had to return home, trying to reintegrate themselves in the society. Sometimes, unconsciously, they transmitted illnesses contracted in the battle fields to their families. Furthermore, conflicts changed material and moral conditions, with consequences in the agricultural, industrial and commercial production, as well as in public health and in population behaviours.This conference aims to contribute to a deep reflection on the consequences of wars on health of civil and military populations and the consequent demographic effects. What was the evolution of military and civil mortality, including infant mortality during and after a conflict? At what extend did wars caused sex ratio&#8217;s imbalances, age structure modifications or accelerations in demographic ageing? In what way was fertility affected? Some studies mention an increase in the number of divorces and couples separations in the after-war, whilst others insist in a quick recovery of the matrimonial market. So, how did react, for instance, unmarried brides or war widows?We know that, quite often, the same conflict produced different demographic consequences according with the belligerent nations. Therefore, it is essential to promote comparative studies between countries and even between regions of the same State. We can also question ourselves about the society&#8217;s responses to face demographic cataclysms, especially through the enlargement and reconstitution of the matrimonial market.In the after-war periods, it is common to see different actions linked with health issues, in public or private spheres. These actions led, for example, to the creation of hospitals for wounded or homes for war-orphans, the creation of special lotteries or multiple events to raise funds to help sick veterans and their families. On another hand, a legislative body emerged to protect invalid veterans, in an effort to socially reintegrate them. How did the authorities of different countries responded to the consequences of a military conflict in health and demography? Did central powers or local authorities act to face demographic changes? How modern thought was shaped by the State and public opinion?Without an exclusive focus on the two world wars and considering that other major conflicts had direct effects in demography, health and in the modern thought, this conference aims to open the historiographic debate in this almost yet unexplored topic, underlining the situation of countries that did not always played a main role in the military conflicts.We welcome proposals for papers or panels on health, demography and modern thought, namely on the following topics:Health and public or private reactions;Demographic effects and self-regulatory mechanisms;Wars and social policies;Families and communities&#8217; roles facing crisis;Armed conflicts and the modern thought.Submission guidelinesProposals for papers should include the proponent&#8217;s name and surname, communication title, abstract (up to 500 words), keywords (up to 5), institutional affiliation, contacts and a brief biographical note. Proposals for panels should also include the discussant (if different from the proponent) and what communications will be presented in the panel, according to the information mentioned above.The working languages of this congress are English and Portuguese. There will be no simultaneous translation, and communications via Skype will not be accepted.Proposals should be sent to warandhealth@fcsh.unl.ptuntil the 15th February 2017.Registration10,00 &#8364; &#8211; students20,00 &#8364; &#8211; other researchers; general publicKeynote speakersIoan Bolovan (Babeş-Bolyai University)Jos&#233; Miguel Sardica (Faculdade de Ci&#234;ncias Humanas da UCP)Organising committeeHelena da Silva (IHC-FCSH/NOVA, GRIC-Universit&#233; du Havre)Paulo Teodoro de Matos (CHAM-FCSH/NOVA)Scientific committeeAna Paula Pires (IHC-FCSH/NOVA, Stanford University)Antoinette Fauve-Chamoux (EHESS-CNRS)Diego Ramiro Fari&#241;as (CSIC)Helena da Silva (IHC-FCSH/NOVA, GRIC-Universit&#233; du Havre)Ioan Bolovan (Babeş-Bolyai University)Lu&#237;s Andrade (CHAM-FCSH/NOVA)Paulo Teodoro de Matos (CHAM-FCSH/NOVA)Practical informationOrganisation:&#160;Institute of Contemporary History&#160;- FCSH/NOVAVenue:&#160;FCSH/NOVA, LisbonDates:&#160;19th&#160;and 20th&#160;of June 2017Deadline for proposals: 15th of February 2017Apresenta&#231;&#227;oDesde o s&#233;culo XIX at&#233; aos nossos dias v&#225;rias guerras t&#234;m marcado a Hist&#243;ria, cujos efeitos ainda est&#227;o bem presentes na mem&#243;ria colectiva. Os diferentes conflitos armados geraram impactos directos na sa&#250;de dos militares, mas tamb&#233;m dos civis, nomeadamente das fam&#237;lias que ficaram na retaguarda. Se por um lado os conflitos b&#233;licos causaram baixas consider&#225;veis, por outro, os feridos, os inv&#225;lidos e os doentes tiveram de regressar &#224;s suas casas, tentando reintegrar-se na sociedade civil. Por vezes, inconscientemente, transmitiram &#224;s fam&#237;lias doen&#231;as contra&#237;das nos campos de batalha. Al&#233;m disso, as guerras modificaram as condi&#231;&#245;es materiais e morais, com consequ&#234;ncias na produ&#231;&#227;o agr&#237;cola, industrial e comercial, bem como na sa&#250;de p&#250;blica e nos comportamentos das popula&#231;&#245;es.Este congresso tem por objectivo contribuir para uma reflex&#227;o aprofundada sobre as consequ&#234;ncias das guerras na sa&#250;de das popula&#231;&#245;es civis e militares e os efeitos demogr&#225;ficas da&#237; decorrentes. Qual ter&#225; sido a evolu&#231;&#227;o da mortalidade militar e civil, incluindo a mortalidade infantil, durante e ap&#243;s um conflito armado? Ter&#225; este causado desequil&#237;brios na distribui&#231;&#227;o sexos, na composi&#231;&#227;o da estrutura et&#225;ria da popula&#231;&#227;o ou at&#233; no aceleramento do envelhecimento demogr&#225;fico? De que forma foi a fecundidade afectada? Alguns estudos mencionam, no p&#243;s-guerra, o aumento do n&#250;mero de div&#243;rcios e da separa&#231;&#227;o de casais, enquanto outros insistem na r&#225;pida recupera&#231;&#227;o do mercado matrimonial. Ent&#227;o como reagem, por exemplo, as noivas que ficaram por casar ou as vi&#250;vas de guerra?Sabemos que o mesmo conflito produziu consequ&#234;ncias demogr&#225;ficas dissemelhantes consoante as na&#231;&#245;es beligerantes. Torna-se, por isso, fundamental a promo&#231;&#227;o de estudos comparativos entre os pa&#237;ses e at&#233; entre regi&#245;es do mesmo Estado. Podemos ainda questionar-nos como reagiram as sociedades face aos cataclismos demogr&#225;ficos, designadamente atrav&#233;s da amplia&#231;&#227;o e recomposi&#231;&#227;o do mercado matrimonial.Nos per&#237;odos de p&#243;s-guerra, no &#226;mbito da sa&#250;de desenvolvem-se regularmente ac&#231;&#245;es, quer p&#250;blicas, quer privadas. Estas passaram, por exemplo, pela funda&#231;&#227;o de centros hospitalares para acolher feridos ou de lares para os &#243;rf&#227;os de guerra, a cria&#231;&#227;o de lotarias especiais, ou de m&#250;ltiplos eventos para angariar fundos para ajudar os veteranos doentes e as suas fam&#237;lias. Por outro lado, um corpo legislativo foi sendo criado para proteger os inv&#225;lidos de guerra, numa tentativa de reintegra&#231;&#227;o na sociedade civil. Como responderam as autoridades de diferentes pa&#237;ses face &#224;s consequ&#234;ncias de um conflito b&#233;lico na sa&#250;de e na demografia? Os poderes centrais ou as autoridades locais tentaram agir face &#224;s altera&#231;&#245;es demogr&#225;ficas? Como foi o pensamento contempor&#226;neo moldados pelos Estados e a opini&#227;o p&#250;blica?Sem se focalizar apenas nas duas guerras mundiais, considerando que outros conflitos originaram impactos relevantes na demografia, sa&#250;de e pensamento contempor&#226;neo, esta confer&#234;ncia pretende abrir o debate historiogr&#225;fico nesta tem&#225;tica ainda pouco explorada, salientando igualmente a situa&#231;&#227;o vivida por pa&#237;ses nem sempre preponderantes nos conflitos b&#233;licos.Convidamos os interessados a enviar propostas para confer&#234;ncias ou pain&#233;is sobre sa&#250;de, demografia e pensamento contempor&#226;neo, designadamente sobre as seguintes tem&#225;ticas:Sa&#250;de e reac&#231;&#245;es p&#250;blicas ou privadas;Impactos demogr&#225;ficos e mecanismos auto-reguladores;Guerras e pol&#237;ticas sociais;O lugar das fam&#237;lias e das comunidades na supera&#231;&#227;o das crises;Os conflitos armados e o pensamento contempor&#226;neo.Submiss&#227;o de propostasAs propostas de comunica&#231;&#245;es devem incluir o nome do/a proponente, t&#237;tulo da comunica&#231;&#227;o, resumo (at&#233; 500 palavras), palavras-chave (at&#233; 5), filia&#231;&#227;o institucional, contacto e um breve CV ou biografia.
