Persistent Spaces: politics, aesthetics and topography in the XVIIIth and XIXth-century City

Our two-day postgraduate conference will explore the evolving configurations of the urban space from the Enlightenment to the late 19th-century. We will consider the accumulating and interpenetrating layers that make up the 18th- and 19th-century city. London and Paris will be our main focus, but this palimpsestic model may be extended elsewhere, and we will welcome abstracts centring on other cities. Interdisciplinarity will be key to our conference. We hope to attract researchers from various fields, including literature and the arts, sociology, philosophy, law, science and engineering, etc. Through this ‘decompartmentalized’ approach, we will attempt to shed light on the myriad facets of the 18th- and 19th-century city.

Nature(s): Designing, Experiencing, Representing the natural environment (18th to 21st centuries)

The international conference "Nature(s)" which will be held on June 6-8th, 2013 and will coincide with other cultural and scientific events in Nantes as a "European Green Capital", will question what is really at stake when human beings consciously deal with nature and natural spaces, especially in an urban context. Over the centuries, how have writers, artists, painters or landscape planners been grappling with nature in a rapidly growing urban world, and how did they question the way in which human beings lived but also dreamt their future?

Climate and Weather: Science as Public Culture

Scientific Communication and its History – III

This conference is the third in a series devoted to historical and contemporary perspectives on the communication of science and technology. Climate and weather provide a particularly rich and challenging case study to complete the conference series. As with other disciplines studied during the previous conferences, the climate sciences are characterised by complexity: in their professional networks; their conceptual models; and the logistics of their large-scale data and computing needs. Yet few modern scientific disciplines attract the same level of public engagement, in both everyday life and passionate debate on the future of the planet. Moreover, their status at the intersection of policy, scientific controversy and the public sphere is not a recent development: the same issues and fault lines ran through meteorology from the 18th-century onwards. Shifting interests within the history of science and the development of environmental history have greatly expanded the field in recent years. The conference will provide an opportunity to reflect on these historiographical developments via a specific focus on the communication of weather and climate from the 18th to the 21st centuries. The conference will address three themes in particular: Commodification of meteorological knowledge, Media, and Historicizing climate history.

Foreign visits to the court of France in Bourbon times

Le Centre de recherche du château de Versailles a lancé un programme de recherche intitulé « Les étrangers à la cour de France au temps des Bourbons (1594-1789). Intégration, apports, suspicions », coordonné sur le plan scientifique par Jean-François Dubost, professeur à l’université Paris-Est Créteil Val de Marne, et conduit en collaboration avec les partenaires du Centre. L’étude de ces courtisans étrangers à la cour des Bourbons sera déclinée autour de trois thématiques qui font chacune l’objet d’un appel à contributions, appels destinés à préparer l’organisation de trois journées d’études conçues comme ateliers de recherche fermés, organisées au Centre de recherche du château de Versailles.
