Cultures des sciences au théâtre
Doctrines, intentions, publics et pratiques
Le spectacle vivant apparaît depuis quelques années comme le lieu d’une rencontre sur scène des sciences et du théâtre. Chercheur∙e∙s et praticien∙ne∙s sont invité·e·s à proposer de courtes interventions et partager lors de cette journée leurs conceptions et leurs expériences personnelles en vue d’une réflexion sur l’évolution des modes de pensée et d’action dans le champ de la médiation par la culture de la fabrication conjointe des sciences et de la société. À partir d’une sélection des résumés et textes attendus, nous souhaitons mettre en discussion critique les manières de faire, engager le bilan de la diversité des projets et de leurs réalisations, le tout en vue de la publication d’un ouvrage collectif à paraître à l'automne 2021.

Communications journal (2021)
L’étude des rêves comme phénomènes sociaux circulant dans des groupes suscite actuellement un regain d’intérêt dans le domaine des sciences humaines et sociales. Car, si les rêves sont des phénomènes individuels, dès lors qu’on en témoigne et que, seuls ou presque, un rêveur ou une rêveuse peuvent en témoigner, d’une façon ou d’une autre, les visions et les voix nocturnes deviennent des communications au sens large. C’est à l’exploration de cette part collective, sociale et expressive des rêves que sera consacrée une prochaine livraison de Communications. Comment les rêves s’échangent-ils et se partagent-ils ? Lié à cet argument général, cet appel à contribution porte spécifiquement sur la manière dont on fait circuler actuellement les rêves (ou certains rêves) en les traitant comme des données potentiellement objectivables dans des laboratoires du sommeil ou des banques de rêves.

Science and culture in the time of war in the Revolution to the present day
Ce colloque a pour objectif de croiser deux courants historiques particulièrement féconds depuis une quinzaine d’années : celui de l’histoire culturelle de la captivité et celui des sciences studies appliquées à la guerre. Ce temps particulier accentue en effet les interactions des groupes sociaux impliqués (universitaires, scientifiques, militaires, industriels, politiques, corps techniques ou médicaux…), génère des occasions, des séquences ou des lieux inédits de travail et de rencontres (camps, laboratoires, usines, institutions…). C’est aussi, plus que d’habitude, un temps de connexions et de globalisation. Enfin, le volet matériel et pratique y prend une acuité inédite.

Strasbourg University and the dialogue of disciplines
From the 1920s to contemporary practices
À l’occasion du centenaire de la nomination à l’université de Strasbourg de figures marquantes pour l’histoire des sciences humaines – Maurice Halbwachs, Marc Bloch, Lucien Febvre, Prosper Alfaric, Charles Blondel... – la Maison des sciences de l'homme – Alsace organise un colloque consacré aux pratiques actuelles et passées de l’interdisciplinarité en sciences humaines et sociales. L’expérience strasbourgeoise des années 1920 sera le point de départ de cette rencontre. Le colloque proposera aussi une approche réflexive des usages de l’interdisciplinarité développés, voire revendiqués en en sciences humaines et sociales depuis quelques décennies.

Minimising Risks, Selling Promises?
Reproductive Health, Techno-Scientific Innovations and the Production of Ignorance
Over the last decades, medical techno-scientific innovations have radically transformed reproductive processes at every level by putting the reproductive body under strict biomedical surveillance and submitting it to significant technological manipulation. Most of these innovations, often promoted as miracles and even revolutions, were generalised very rapidly thanks to ever-growing national and global markets. Their side effects on health were, however, insufficiently studied, or even ignored, until scandals (diethylstilbestrol, thalidomide, primodos, Dalkon Shield) or controversies (contraceptive pill, hormonal replacement therapy) unavoidably made them public. At the crossroads of STS, sociology of risk, medical anthropology, gender studies and ignorance studies, the aim of this international conference is to analyse the dynamics of ignorance production prior to, during but also after the rapid expansion of reproductive technologies, innovations and products.

Commitment, Challenges and Crises of International Art Criticism since 1945
The international conference Reframing the (Art) World/Redéfinir le monde (de l’art) aims at concluding an intense three-year research carried out within the frame of the research programme PRISME, hosted at the Archives de la critique d’art (Archives of Art Criticism in Rennes). By following a multidisciplinary approach, the aim of this conference is to reframe a still little-known chapter of cultural history, in order to reconsider art criticism as a historical and epistemological prism in regard to international issues since the second half of the XXth century.

Scientific circulations since the early 20th century
New perspectives for studying
Les circulations scientifiques internationales ont connu un développement important, en même temps que la communauté savante, depuis la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, et exponentiel au cours des dernières décennies. Pourtant, cette question, contrairement à celle des étudiants internationaux, n’a pas encore suscité beaucoup de travaux en sciences humaines et sociales. Ce mouvement de grande ampleur, qui n’épargne plus aucune région du globe, est volontiers observé et commenté, parfois à grand renfort de grilles de lectures préétablies – dont la fameuse « fuite des cerveaux », pourtant largement nuancée ces dernières années – sans toujours pénétrer au cœur de ses rouages et de ses manifestations les plus fines.

Corporate authority in the shaping of public policy
The power of corporate business has been a subject of intense debate and many social science studies since the 19th century. This conference is based on the idea that, not only has this power varied among industries, countries and different periods, but also that the way in which it is wielded has evolved over time. By bringing together scholars from various backgrounds within the fields of history, sociology, and political science, we intend to provide new insights on the multiplicity, depth and limits of the forms of influence that corporations, or the organizations furthering their interests – business associations, think tanks, communication or public relations agencies, foundations, etc. –, have on public policy.

European Space Agency's Space History Conference
There is more to space than rocket science. Historians, diplomats, economists, law students, political scientists and sociologists have all contributed to our understanding of the space age and its impact on our societies over the past decades. Sixty years on from the placing of the first human-made object in orbit around Earth, space is now an integral part of our daily lives. Space science and technology are projects for the whole of humankind, reaching not only outside Earth’s atmosphere, but also beyond our Solar System. While the technological and scientific challenges of working, living and travelling in space motivate students to pursue such studies, the impact of space activities on our lives on Earth, on relations between nations and organisations, and our collective recent history, provides fertile ground for students and scholars in the humanities to take up space-related subjects.

25th Modern Greek Studies Conference of French-speaking universities
The biennial Congress of French-speaking Modern Greek Studies scholars will take place from October 12th to October 14th, 2017 in Aix-en-Provence. Its aim is to bring together researchers from every domain of the humanities and social sciences. The issue at the heart of this 15th Congress is the historical progress of certain areas of study towards the status of full-fledged disciplines of the humanities and social sciences in Greece from the moment of the establishment of the Greek state (1830) and within a context allowing the study of this phenomenon in both its regional and its international dimensions.
The works of the Congress will be organized around the following themes:
1. The emergence, institutionalization, reproduction and diffusion of disciplinary bodies of knowledge.
2. The way each discipline positions itself with relation to other fields of knowledge and implements its theoretical foundations
3. The processes of establishing legitimacy for the new disciplines and for the groups framing them
4. Disciplinarization and the field of Modern Greek Studies
Abstracts must be submitted before February 28th, 2017, in either French or English.

How Are Science and Technology Engaged in Eco-Innovations?
3rd ISA Forum of Sociology: joint Session RC23 and RC24
The aim of this joint session organized during the 3rd ISA Forum is to explore the various ways in which eco-innovations are studied at the intersection of environmental sociology with the sociology of science and technology. The session invites scholars who improve our understanding about the technical resolution of environmental issues. By so doing, we would like to open new paths for analysing the production, the adoption and the institutionalisation of ecoinnovations, but also the mobilization of skills and knowledge.

Academic entrepreneurship in History
An international survey of current research
The Departments of History of Universiteit Gent, Université Libre de Bruxelles, Université Lille 3 and Università di Bologna are jointly organizing the international conference “Academic entrepreneurship in history” on 12-13 March 2015 at the STAM city museum in Ghent, Belgium. The aim of the meeting is to bring together an international group of scholars engaged in research on the notion and practice of academic entrepreneurship from the mid-nineteenth century to the end of the twentieth century. The focus will be on the range of actions, behaviors and qualities of academic scientists and their employing institutions which can be seen as entrepreneurial in at least one of the many senses in which the entrepreneurship term has been used in the economics and business history literatures.

Medical expertise in the 20th and 21st centuries
Medical expertise in the 20th and 21st century / Medizinische Expertise im 20. und 21. Jahrhundert / L'expertise médicale aux XXe et XXIe siècles. Annual conference of the Swiss Society for the History of Medicine and Sciences, September 5 – 7, 2013, Bern, Switzerland. The conference would like to address the issue from various perspectives and ask e.g. the following questions: To which levels of medical knowledge and activity (skill, professional knowledge, experience, relationship with patients) did and does the claim of expertise refer to? Which strategies, rhetorics and kinds of self-fashioning were and are used in order to achieve, retain or reject the status of expertise? Which was and is the relationship between expertise, profession(nalism), institutionalization and specialization? In what respect is there a difference between a physician's claim of expertise and that of other health professionals?

CIERA, Centre Interdisciplinaire d’Études et de Recherches sur l’Allemagne junior conference
Ce colloque « junior » veut explorer la concurrence idéologique entre l’expertise économique, la sphère publique, le marché et la politique en France et en Allemagne depuis les années 1980 dans une manière comparative. Plus spécifiquement, nous nous intéresserons à ce qui a constitué les fondements de cette autorité scientifique et politique de ces trois dernières décennies et sur la meilleure manière de les décrire et de les analyser. Ce colloque se veut interdisciplinaire : nous accueillerons volontiers des contributions tournées vers l’étude de la science, de la sociologie ou géographie économique et de l’histoire économique, ainsi que les études de cas empiriques. -
