    Truth and Fiction

    15th Annual Conference of the International Medieval Society-Paris (IMS)

    In the wake of the US presidential election and the Brexit referendum, the Oxford English Dictionary chose the expression “post-truth” as its word of the year. This expression underlines the growing tendency to dismiss objective facts in favor of impulsive—and often prejudicial—feelings, frequently supported by “alternative facts.” The contentious relationship between the truth and lies, or truth and fiction, which is currently playing out in the public arena has, in fact, a long-standing legacy—one which can be traced back to the Middle Ages. For this reason, this year’s IMS conference seeks to investigate the variety of different approaches to truth and fiction that existed in the Middle Ages.

    Talent and its approaches in the social sciences - attributions, markets and mobilities

    Attributions, marchés, mobilités

    Ce colloque pluridisciplinaire, organisé par la chaire de sociologie du travail créateur, au Collège de France, réunit des intervenants issus de la sociologie, de l'économie, de l'histoire et du droit pour interroger la notion de talent. Trois angles seront privilégiés : l'analyse des mécanismes et des processus d'attribution de cette mystérieuse qualité ; son rôle structurant dans le fonctionnement de marchés et de systèmes d'emplois ; les enjeux que recouvrent, de ce point de vue, l'intensification des mobilités internationales.

    The Oulipo and knowledge

    L’Oulipo a investi les savoirs de manière remarquable. Les contraintes, pratiques les mieux connues du groupe, n’ont-elles pas été définies, le plus souvent, autant grâce aux mathématiques qu’à l’érudition (via le plagiat par anticipation) ? On peut encore évoquer la « curiosité », et l’expertise, scientifiques des deux fondateurs du groupe, François Le Lionnais et Raymond Queneau. Le colloque envisagera cette dimension historique. Il tentera de déterminer également la manière dont les savoirs nourrissent les œuvres des oulipiens, avec un accent sur la pseudo-érudition, définie par Georges Perec. Il cherchera à montrer, encore, comment ces œuvres interrogent ou nourrissent les scientifiques institutionnels eux-mêmes.

    The object. A research path in Humanities and Social Sciences

    Call for Articles. Forma's 16th issue

    How can an object and its materiality be defined? Which are the relationships and/or bonds that link individuals to objects? Which are meanings and values that should be considered in an object that is stripped from its context? How can it be described, replaced and represented in its natural environment (if it exists)? Are there limits to said representations?  For the next issue, Forma. Revista d'Estudis Comparatius joins the project put forward by the collective “Jeune chercheurs de TELEMMe” for the preparation of their annual study conferences about the "object" in the Humanities and the Social Sciences.
