Call for papers - Epistemology and methodology
Strasbourg University and the dialogue of disciplines
From the 1920s to contemporary practices
À l’occasion du centenaire de la nomination à l’université de Strasbourg de figures marquantes pour l’histoire des sciences humaines – Maurice Halbwachs, Marc Bloch, Lucien Febvre, Prosper Alfaric, Charles Blondel... – la Maison des sciences de l'homme – Alsace organise un colloque consacré aux pratiques actuelles et passées de l’interdisciplinarité en sciences humaines et sociales. L’expérience strasbourgeoise des années 1920 sera le point de départ de cette rencontre. Le colloque proposera aussi une approche réflexive des usages de l’interdisciplinarité développés, voire revendiqués en en sciences humaines et sociales depuis quelques décennies.

Minimising Risks, Selling Promises?
Reproductive Health, Techno-Scientific Innovations and the Production of Ignorance
Over the last decades, medical techno-scientific innovations have radically transformed reproductive processes at every level by putting the reproductive body under strict biomedical surveillance and submitting it to significant technological manipulation. Most of these innovations, often promoted as miracles and even revolutions, were generalised very rapidly thanks to ever-growing national and global markets. Their side effects on health were, however, insufficiently studied, or even ignored, until scandals (diethylstilbestrol, thalidomide, primodos, Dalkon Shield) or controversies (contraceptive pill, hormonal replacement therapy) unavoidably made them public. At the crossroads of STS, sociology of risk, medical anthropology, gender studies and ignorance studies, the aim of this international conference is to analyse the dynamics of ignorance production prior to, during but also after the rapid expansion of reproductive technologies, innovations and products.

Commitment, Challenges and Crises of International Art Criticism since 1945
The international conference Reframing the (Art) World/Redéfinir le monde (de l’art) aims at concluding an intense three-year research carried out within the frame of the research programme PRISME, hosted at the Archives de la critique d’art (Archives of Art Criticism in Rennes). By following a multidisciplinary approach, the aim of this conference is to reframe a still little-known chapter of cultural history, in order to reconsider art criticism as a historical and epistemological prism in regard to international issues since the second half of the XXth century.

Scientific circulations since the early 20th century
New perspectives for studying
Les circulations scientifiques internationales ont connu un développement important, en même temps que la communauté savante, depuis la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, et exponentiel au cours des dernières décennies. Pourtant, cette question, contrairement à celle des étudiants internationaux, n’a pas encore suscité beaucoup de travaux en sciences humaines et sociales. Ce mouvement de grande ampleur, qui n’épargne plus aucune région du globe, est volontiers observé et commenté, parfois à grand renfort de grilles de lectures préétablies – dont la fameuse « fuite des cerveaux », pourtant largement nuancée ces dernières années – sans toujours pénétrer au cœur de ses rouages et de ses manifestations les plus fines.
