  Seminar - Representation

  In the workshop. Material, form and knowledge of artistic work (13th-19th centuries)

  En confrontant l’histoire de l’art aux autres sciences sociales et à l’expertise des sciences de la conservation et de la restauration, on interrogera les formes du travail collectif, la construction de la valeur, l’élaboration et la transmission de savoirs et de savoir-faire dans les pratiques artistiques. L’atelier sera ainsi le terrain d’expérimentation pour une archéologie matérielle, visuelle et intellectuelle de l’art. Le séminaire proposera des études de cas, menées à partir de travaux en cours, qui seront mises en perspective tout au long d’une enquête historiographique sur la notion d’atelier et les conditions de l’innovation, entre arts et savoirs.

  The role of the strange and inexplicable in the corpus of Arabic, Persian and Latin medieval texts

  First day: examining the attitude of scholars

  The corpus of medieval texts concerning Physics and/or Life sciences describes numerous surprising phenomena, which cannot be explained by the common concepts of the time. A number of examples can be mentioned here: Various cures with or without medicines; Animal behavior: animal reproduction, molting, (or sloughing, shedding, ecdysis), metamorphosis, adaptation; Strange phenomena, or strange beings (aliens) described by travelers, or people one can trust; The attraction of body to another body, repulsion of body, the weights and the measures.

  Saint-Antoine-lAbbaye

  Conference, symposium - Middle Ages

  Building, decorating, discovering. New perspectives on the Church of Saint-Antoine-l'Abbaye

  Saint-Antoine-l’Abbaye a constitué, du XII^e au XV^e siècle, un foyer artistique des plus dynamiques aux portes des Alpes. Le chantier de construction de l’église abbatiale s’est notamment avéré propice à l’expression d’une architecture et d’un décor gothiques aux sources multiples. Au XVIII^e siècle, c’est aussi à proximité immédiate de l’édifice que se situait un cabinet de curiosités, dont les collections d’histoire naturelle reflétaient alors l’ouverture des Antonins aux sciences.

  Treatment - from the physical notion to its metaphorical representations in Greco-Roman Antiquity

  Lors de cette journée d’étude, nous étudierons la notion de traitement en nous concentrant sur le monde gréco-romain, de l’époque classique (V^e siècle avant J.-C.) jusqu’à l’antiquité tardive (jusqu’au VI^e siècle après J.-C.), afin d’analyser les divers types de traitements et leurs représentations et afin d’interpréter leur évolution au cours des siècles. Le traitement (en grec θεραπεύειν, ἰατρεύειν, ἰᾶσθαι ou en latin curare) est une notion assez large, c’est pourquoi nous souhaitons l’appréhender dans une perspective pluridisciplinaire.

  Abraham Ibn Ezra, a Twelfth-Century Polymath who Straddled Arabic, Hebrew and Latin Culture

  In the middle of the eighth century, with the completion of the Islamic conquest of the eastern, northern and part of the western shores of the Mediterranean, Jews managed to successfully integrate into the ruling society without losing their religious and national identity. They willingly adopted the Arabic language, spoke Arabic fluently, wrote Arabic in Hebrew letters (Judeo-Arabic), and employed Arabic in the composition of their literary works. The twelfth century witnessed a cultural phenomenon that saw Jewish scholars gradually abandon the Arabic language and adopt Hebrew, previously used almost exclusively for religious and liturgical purposes, for the first time as a vehicle for the expression of secular and scientific ideas.

  Semantic Web for Scientific Heritage

  SW4SH 2016: Second International Workshop

  Classicists and historians are interested in developing textual databases, in order to gather and explore large amounts of primary source materials. For a long time, they mainly focused on text digitization and markup. They only recently decided to try to explore the possibility of transferring some analytical processes they previously thought incompatible with automation to knowledge engineering systems, thus taking advantage of the growing set of tools and techniques based on the languages and standards of the semantic Web, such as linked data, ontologies, and automated reasoning. SW4SH 2016 aims to provide a leading international and interdisciplinary forum for disseminating the latest research in the field of Semantic Web for the preservation and exploitation of our scientific heritage, the study of the history of ideas and their transmission.

  Seminar - Science studies

  "Arabic" Mathematics

  This monthly seminar will aim to invite researchers to come and present their work in progress or recently published that address the "Arab mathematics", understood in a broad sense to be studied not only mathematics itself, but science "mathematized" of the era, such as astronomy, optics and static; Furthermore, we do not restrict themselves to only written in Arabic mathematics, but we can address their writings in other languages extensions, like Latin, Hebrew and Farsi. The texts studied will be discussed at sessions of three hours. Emphasis on reading and commenting on sources.
