    Call for papers - Africa

    The Africa of European scholars (17th-20th centuries)

    C’est une Afrique à la croisée de la théorie et de la pratique scientifique occidentale que est proposée comme objet d’étude du 5 au 7 février 2018 à l’université Cheikh Anta Diop de Dakar. Dépendante d’une périodisation structurée à la fois par des mutations scientifiques et l’évolution des contextes historiques, l’Afrique des savants européens n’est pas une mais multiple. Les contextes politiques et idéologiques influent sur les motivations et les résultats de la recherche scientifique.

    Archives, the Digital Turn and Governance in Africa

    “History in Africa” Journal

    This featured section of History in Africa will address the wave of digitisation of archives in Africa over the last fifteen years. With the rise of information technologies, an increasing part of public – and to some extent private - African archives are being digitised and made accessible on the internet. This wave of digitisation is usually seen as a progress with the help of ambitious initiatives applying new technologies to cultural heritage of humanity such as the rescue of the manuscripts of Timbuktu or the Endangered Archives programme at the British Library. Yet as much as these new technologies raise enthusiasm, they also prompt discussions amongst researchers and archivists, which go from intellectual property to sovereignty and governance.

    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.
