Conference, symposium - Science studies
Sites of Chemistry in the 18th Century
Conference organised by the Maison Française d'Oxford, on the July 4th and 5th, 2011. -
Puducherry
We intend in this workshop to reconsider how new technologies flow and circulate around the globe. One cannot ignore the obvious fact that we are seeing the emergence of new technological and industrial centres which accompany the rapid redistribution of economic power around the world; but one should also take into account the fact that technology is – and has always been – flowing and circulating in much more unexpected ways than predicted by the old-fashioned diffusionist models which are still prevalent, even in these times of globalisation. By privileging in this workshop (and in our collective project) a comparative approach between three very different geographical regions – South Asia, the Middle East and Europe – we hope to be able to propose an approach to technological flow, which will be sufficiently global and comparative, for going beyond the specificities of any particular culture or society, and which may really better help us understand the dynamics of technological circulations and the processes by which technologies are reinvented in different locations. -

How to make the peripheral "mainstream"
Recent develpments in the historiography of science
Ces dernières années, le développement des études sur l’histoire des sciences dans les régions du monde dont on a longtemps considéré qu’elles n’avaient pas contribué de manière significative au développement historique des sciences s’est accompagné d’une réflexion historiographique approfondie. Ce colloque vise à formuler et discuter des propositions pour placer ces travaux et problématiques de recherche vus comme périphériques au centre de l'histoire des sciences. -

Science, Space, and the Environment
Although the sciences have provided critical resources in environmental debates, their own role in environmental change has been little studied. This conference will explore how the sciences have affected the physical environment. -

Environmental History Seminar Programme 2011-2012
Maison Française d'Oxford seminar cycle
The aims of this seminar are to help bring together British and French researchers working on the same topics or problematics, and to discuss recent research on environmental history. Therefore, the principle is to invite a French and a British colleague to each seminar, to present their own research and then discuss it. -

Conference, symposium - Science studies
New Perspectives on Visuality in the History of Science
The workshop will feature four sessions dedicated to some of the most important or well developed areas of visual studies of science: 1 “The making and materiality of visual objects”, includes the materials, techniques, tools and practices involved in the making of visual objects and their conservation; 2 “The circulation of images and of visual cultures” for instance among scientific practitioners, printers, engravers, draughtsmen, and different publics, but also across different publications; 3 “The uses and politics of the image” focuses on the intended functions of images e.g. in science popularization or teaching but also on their less intended uses in other realms and by other publics; and 4 "Images as epistemic objects” asks what roles images and visual objects play in scientific epistemology, e.g. as visual evidence. -

Conference, symposium - History
Catholic Intellectuals in France in the mid-20th Century
Following the success of the journée d’étude ‘Engaging with Engagement: French Catholic Thought 1930-50’, held at Magdalen College in May 2010, this conference will continue and extend exploration of different types of French Catholic intellectual engagement during the mid-twentieth century, against the backdrop of the ‘crises’ of civilization of the interwar period through to the war years and beyond. The formation of Catholic identities, in their artistic, philosophical, theological and political manifestations, and the shifting norms and values of political and social commitments in relation to their cultural and theological fault lines, are central to our concerns. -

Engineer or engineers? Between expansion and fragmentation
New insights and comparative perspectives
Tantôt perçus comme membres d'une catégorie en plein éclatement, tantôt dénoncés comme cheville ouvrière d'une économie génératrice d'inégalités, les ingénieurs semblent aujourd'hui être une catégorie sociale aux contours flous, dont la perception par la société n'est pas évidente à saisir. Qu'est-ce qui relie encore les ingénieurs entre eux, devant l'autonomisation croissante des branches industrielles? Comment peut-on analyser à la fois l'unité du groupe, ses multiples segmentations et ses zones d'expansion ? Mieux cerner ce groupe doit permettre à la fois de saisir les contraintes qui encadrent ses actions, et d'éclairer, par des événements ou des débats souvent tombés dans l'oubli, les pratiques actuelles sous un nouveau jour. Le colloque « un ingénieur, des ingénieurs: expansion ou fragmentation? » souhaite répondre à un besoin de réactualisation des connaissances scientifiques sur le sujet, notamment en contribuant au renouvellement des approches et en permettant d'établir une discussion entre les différentes disciplines. -

Lecture series - Science studies
Seeing/knowing. New Perspectives on the Visual in the Sciences
Lectures series of the Centre Alexandre Koyré, Paris (2011)
L’essor considérable des études visuelles en science depuis quelques années est en partie une réponse aux interrogations épistémologiques posées par la place croissante de l’image dans la production et la vulgarisation scientifiques contemporaines : nouvelles technologies de visualisation, présence de plus en plus forte d’images, modèles et simulations dans l’enseignement et la recherche, la communication et la muséologie des sciences. Ces études sont un lieu d'échanges fertiles entre l’histoire et la sociologie des sciences et des techniques et l’histoire de l’art, de la photographie, du cinéma mais aussi l’histoire culturelle et des représentations. Ces croisements ont permis de faire émerger de nouveaux objets d’étude et de nouvelles façons d’appréhender et de mettre en perspective historique les « manières de voir » et les représentations visuelles en science.
