The history of sciences, the history of text
As in previous years, we will study: How sources bear the mark of the environments in which they were produced. We will ask the question of how the documents attest knowledge. We will be interested in the history of writing by compilation. We will carry out research on the organization that the actors have given to the recorded knowledge, looking at the parts in which they have structured their texts.

Ce séminaire pluri-disicplinaire porte sur les questions philosophiques et éthiques portées par le courant transhumaniste. Le séminaire, composé d'un groupe pluridisciplinaire d'universitaires se concentre sur trois axes de recherche. En premier lieu, il s'agit de penser les questions liées à la subjectivité (philosophie de l'esprit, conscience, intelligence articifielle). En second lieu, les enjeux sociaux et politiques (biopolitique, démocratie, droits de l'homme, démocratie, progressisme/conservatisme, libertarianisme, néo-libéralisme). Enfin, la généalogie du courant transhumaniste est étudiée sous ses différents aspects historiques, économiques, sociologiques et philosophiques.

Seminar - Epistemology and methodology
History and Philosophy of Chemistry
The philosophy of chemistry is a little known reflection domain, expanding, opening up new opportunities for reflection on science and technology, often different and complementary of the perspectives opened by the philosophy of physics, biology and mathematics. This seminar will, in particular, be a place for exchanges between historians, philosophers, chemists, scientists from diverse backgrounds, students and anyone interested in the subject. It aims to promote dialogue between philosophers and historians and give voice to different historical and philosophical approaches in respect of their singularities.

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.

Seminar - Ethnology, anthropology
The subalterns, can they (speak) be heard?
En s'appuyant sur le séminaire du Groupe de recherche FIRA (2015-2016) à la MSH Paris Nord, axé sur la décolonisation de toutes perspectives de connaissance euro-centrées, nous nous proposons de continuer à réfléchir et à élargir nos recherches vers une géopolitique des connaissances (E. Dussel), afin de saisir le projet d'actualisation du lieu d'énonciation, des récits historiques et culturels, de la pensée et de la production du savoir. Dans ce sens, le défi du tournant de la décolonialité s'inscrit sur la critique et la reconstitution des espaces interstitiels du cadre conceptuel hybride des différences coloniales (W. Mignolo).

History and Philosophy of Physics (2016/2017)
The seminar is designed as a place of exchange between historians of physics, philosophers of physics, physicists and students in relevant disciplines. Although the program this year has no specific theme, it reflects the interest of the organizers for the questions that drive us to cross disciplinary boundaries: between physics and philosophy, history and philosophy, between theoretical construction and experience, between physics and other sciences.

Body and capicity - 2nd emersiology seminar - living bodies / lived bodies
IIe séminaire d'émersiologie : corps vivant / corps vécu
Performer le vivant de son corps, la maladie ou le handicap l’engage sans notre volonté en éveillant des nouvelles potentialités qui demeuraient jusque là seulement possibles. Si le handicap peut « m’incapaciter complètement » (West, 1995, 15), elle est aussi le moyen de découvrir ce qui m’appartient « en propre, un vécu impossible à congédier ou à écarter d’un haussement d’épaule » (West, 1995, 18).

Powers of Imagination. Historical Approach
The concept of imagination is today seen as as a legitimate object of study, having long been discredited by scientific research. However, in modern and contemporary literature, imagination is generally considered in a negative way, as a mental faculty that can cause disease, error, illusion or sin. By cons, its role was very important, because the imagination formed the necessary link between body and soul. So that was the preferred place to act to perform bodily healing as well as spiritual. We would go against this idea of imagination by studying intellectual tradition and alternative and misunderstood practice. Since the XIIth and XIIIth centuries until the early XIXth century, thinkers and practitioners from a diverse set of disciplines, expressing themselves from different institutional positions, supported the idea that imagination has great powers on the body and on the body and mind of others.

Seminar History of light (2015-2016)
The purpose of this seminar is to study questions raised by theoretical and instrumental optics, to review their modes of interaction and to highlight their connections with other fields of study, such as astronomy.

The national museum of natural history, as a historical subject
Research, people, institutions, heritage, teaching
Les commémorations du bicentenaire du Muséum national d’histoire naturelle, en 1993, ont permis de démontrer la validité d’une histoire historienne du Muséum. Depuis, la recherche s’est révélée féconde. Dans un cadre national et international, elle se lie aux développements de tout le champ de l’histoire naturelle à l’histoire des sciences de l’Homme, dont l’anthropologie et la préhistoire, et met en valeur les ressources archivistiques et patrimoniales du Muséum. Le séminaire « Le Muséum national d’histoire naturelle, objet d’histoire. Recherches, hommes, institutions, patrimoine, enseignement » entend contribuer au partage de la vitalité de ces travaux autour d’un établissement, de ses métiers, de ses réseaux et de ses modèles intellectuels.
