Since the 19th century several wars marked History. 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? At what extend did wars caused sex ratio’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 in the after-war, whilst others insist in a quick recovery of the matrimonial market.
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. They 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’ roles facing crisis; Armed conflicts and the modern thought.
Proposals for papers should include the proponent’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.pt until the 15thFebruary 2017.
