European Space Agency's Space History Conference

There is more to space than rocket science. Historians, diplomats, economists, law students, political scientists and sociologists have all contributed to our understanding of the space age and its impact on our societies over the past decades. Sixty years on from the placing of the first human-made object in orbit around Earth, space is now an integral part of our daily lives. Space science and technology are projects for the whole of humankind, reaching not only outside Earth’s atmosphere, but also beyond our Solar System. While the technological and scientific challenges of working, living and travelling in space motivate students to pursue such studies, the impact of space activities on our lives on Earth, on relations between nations and organisations, and our collective recent history, provides fertile ground for students and scholars in the humanities to take up space-related subjects.

Turgot: globalisation, science and economy in the Enlightenment

Questionner les dichotomies traditionnelles entre « théories » et « pratiques » économiques, et, plus généralement, entre « histoire des sciences économiques » et « histoire économique » : tel est l’enjeu des journées d’étude Turgot : mondialisation, science et économie au siècle des Lumières. Le renouvellement du sujet est rendu possible par la mise à disposition récente d’un fonds d’une richesse exceptionnelle : les archives de la famille de l’économiste, intendant et ministre Turgot (1727-1781), récemment acquises par l’État grâce au mécénat de la Banque de France et conservées aux Archives nationales. Ces papiers permettent de réinscrire ce questionnement dans les pratiques sociales, administratives et culturelles de l’activité scientifique au XVIIIe siècle.

Operative knowledges of matter, from Renaissance to industrialization

Following the renewal of the history of Technology and of the history of chemistry, this Research Seminar intends to explore operative knowledge in chemistry in connection with several fields including economics, political management, consumption and production processes. It seeks to shed a light, since the Early modern period, on various configurations where experimentation, exploration, transformation of Matter were held, through a wide range of technical devices.

Business, regulation and health and environmental dangers

L’objectif de ce séminaire est de réunir et faire dialoguer ces deux réflexions autour de travaux qui se situent à l’intersection de la sociologie économique, de la sociologie de l’action publique et des science studies. Le projet du séminaire est d’examiner la thématique de la régulation des risques sanitaires et environnementaux en centrant le regard sur le rôle joué par les entreprises, qu’il s’agisse d’actions de lobbying dans les espaces de normalisation, de modélisation des risques, de planification de la vigilance, ou encore de gestion des catastrophes.

Engineers and society in India

From c. 1850 to present times

More than any other, the profession of engineer appears to encapsulate many of the transformations affecting contemporary India today. Engineers symbolise the rise of the so-called middle classes, and the manner in which India has positioned itself as an emerging power in the international labour market, as it has become one of the favourite destinations for major technology firms.

The heritage of industry in danger

Le développement rapide de l’industrialisation en Europe et dans le monde a ouvert la voie vers l’application générale des résultats matériels modernes du développement technique des deux siècles derniers, qui s’est pleinement reflétée dans la vie courante et le travail des gens des XIX^e et XX^e siècles et qui a influencé de manière fondamentale leur évolution nationale (minorités nationales) et l’expansion économique.
