Conference, symposium - Europe
Le corps humain est le lieu privilégié de l’action du médecin. Qu’il soit sain ou plus encore malade, le corps est pris dans le dilemme impossible entre valeur marchande et valeur inestimable. Le coût de notre médecine accentue le risque de faire passer le souci de soi avant le souci de l’autre. À parler de « valeurs », ne risque-t-on pas de suggérer que la vie de l’homme actif, jeune et performant « vaudrait » plus que celle de celui qui est malade, âgé ou handicapé ? La question des « valeurs » est une question dangereuse, car la marchandisation n’est jamais loin, d’autant plus qu’aujourd’hui le corps humain tend à être compris comme un capital. Ne serait-il pas mieux que le corps reste « hors valeur » ? Car si la médecine a un coût, le corps, lui, n’a pas de prix puisque son sort est indissolublement lié à celui de la personne.

Paradigms, models, scenarios and practices in terms of strong sustainability
While the notion of sustainability continues to be associated with the Brundtland Report (1987) and the concept of sustainable development, a community of sustainability researchers and practitioners increasingly seeks to emancipate the concept to be consistent with the knowledge and aspirations of the moment. The enthusiasm and expectations for more sustainability go beyond mere environmental issues. They touch on crucial social issues as well. The symposium papers intends to question the paradigms, models, scenarios and practices that embody sustainability. One may wonder what meaning should be given to the very idea of sustainability and the representations it conveys.

Projections of health and welfare on the socialist and post-socialist screen
Bodies and health on television have not been extensively researched, in particular in the socialist and transition to market-economy contexts.The conference seeks to analyse how television and its evolving formats –contemporary, similar and yet differing in national broadcast contexts– expressed and staged bodies and health from local, regional, national and international perspectives. The conference seeks to better understand the role that TV, as a modern visual mass media, has played in what may be cast as the transition from a national bio-political public health paradigm at the beginning of the twentieth century, to alternative societal forms of the late twentieth century when (supposedly) “better” and “healthier” lives were increasingly shaped by market forces.

History of Science, History of Text
The seminar examines the various types of documents produced in the context of scholarly practices in order to understand how the shaping of textual forms and inscriptions is part of the scientific activity. The seminar also aims to understand how these works make it possible to better interpret the sources on which historians of science draw to conduct their research.

The televisual spaces of medicine and health in the 20th Century
Medical television programmes, across their history, have had specific relationships to places and spaces. On the one level, they have represented medical and health places: consulting rooms, hospitals, the home, community spaces, public health infrastructures and the rest. As television-producers have represented these places, there has been an interaction with the developing capabilities of television technologies and grammars. Moreover, producers have borrowed their imaginaries of medical and health places from other media (film, photographs, museum displays etc.) and integrated, adjusted and reformulated them into their work.

The crossed worlds of colour in the 18th century
Au XVIIIe siècle, avant la production et la commercialisation de masse des matériaux d’artistes, la couleur est devenue un espace dynamique pour l’invention scientifique, l’expérimentation artistique, et le succès commercial. En prenant le bleu comme point de mire, cette journée d’études explorera les histoires artistiques, scientifiques et sociales de la couleur en réunissant historiens de l’art, historiens, conservateurs et scientifiques, afin de susciter de nouvelles conversations sur l’histoire des matériaux artistiques et leurs terrains méthodologiques.

Condorcet's international scholarly network through the optic of his correspondence
Composés de nombreuses pièces inédites, les échanges de Condorcet avec les savants étrangers concernent les sujets les plus divers de l’actualité scientifique et technique de son temps : calcul intégral, histoire naturelle, mécanique des fluides, magnétisme, météorologie, métrologie ; boussoles, montres, ballons dirigeables, machines hydrauliques, paratonnerres, etc. Ces échanges traitent aussi parfois de sciences morales et politiques, disciplines qui, aux yeux de Condorcet, pouvaient prétendre accéder au même degré de certitude que les sciences physiques. L’étude de l’ensemble de ces lettres, qui par plusieurs traits esquissent les contours de la « République universelle des sciences » si chère à Condorcet, vise ainsi à approfondir notre connaissance de sa pensée et de son action, ainsi que celle du rôle international joué par l’Académie royale des sciences de Paris, durant les dernières décennies de l’Ancien régime et au début de la Révolution.

Social and Human Sciences in the Soviet Union: A laboratory of Modernity in the 20th Century?
This project aims to revisit the history of the social sciences and humanities (SSH) in the Soviet Union, against the simplistic clichés that have long considered them as an exceptional case, cut-off from the history of modernity in the 20th century. The Soviet SSH were thus thought above all as “impeded”, without real autonomy, victims of censorship and violent repression, when it was not the whole discipline (sociology, psychotechnics, paidology, or psychoanalysis, for example) that was condemned. Intellectual innovations originating among Soviet SSH scholars were very often analyzed only as the result of their strategies of evasion, resistance or smuggling in the face of the Soviet power.

Enhancing human in Europe: dream and nightmare of the interwar period
Number of historians and philosophers consider in general that transhumanism and its aim at enhancing the human through applied science and technology have their roots in the inter-war period: Julian Huxley, Jean Coutrot, John B.S. Haldane or John D. Bernal are indeed massively considered as the precursors of such ideas. But are they the sole references to mention when considering the inter-war origins of transhumanism, or are they just the tip of the iceberg of a broader current of thought emerging at that time? Such question immediately raises another one, which requires clarification : can current transhumanism(s) really be linked to the ideas emerging in the inter-war period ? The aim of the workshop will be first to check whether and how the idea of an enhanced human through technology intervention may have circulated in Europe during that time. Secondly, space will be given to look for pertinent criteria for the identification of a « transhumanism » of the inter-war period, by evaluating the nature of the indices which may be studied: mobilizing ideas, currents of thoughts, schools of thoughts, sociotechnical imaginaries, etc. Within these perspectives, the workshop will make possible comparisons between the different European contexts (England, France, Italy, Germany, Russia, etc.), and the several papers will help us to better understand the circulation of ideas, networks and human exchanges which contributed to forge the cradle of transhumanist ideas. Communications will be in French or in English.

Understanding Mediterranean Collections
Comment la constitution des collections a-t-elle accompagné la construction et l’évolution de l’objet scientifique qu’est la Méditerranée ? Comment exploiter des collections constituées selon une logique propre, tout en renouvelant les questionnaires que l’on peut développer à partir d’elles ? Comment documenter l’histoire des collections disparues, dispersées, détruites par les catastrophes ou les conflits ? Peut-on retrouver les réflexes savants issus de la consultation de supports analogiques dans la recherche et l’usage des collections numériques ? Comment constituer, exploiter et transmettre de nouveaux corpus documentaires ? Le propos de cette école d’été est d’aborder de front les problématiques scientifiques et professionnelles, de manière à faciliter le dialogue et la collaboration entre les milieux de la recherche et les milieux de la conservation et de la valorisation patrimoniale.

The cathedral construction site in Europe
The distribution and safeguard of knowledge, know-how and materials from the Middle Ages to the present day
À la suite de l’inclusion des savoir-faire de la Fondation de l’Œuvre Notre-Dame de Strasbourg à l’inventaire national du patrimoine culturel immatériel en France (2017), la recherche de reconnaissance de la sauvegarde des savoirs, compétences techniques et pratiques sociales des ateliers de cathédrales a progressivement fédéré dix-huit ateliers dans cinq pays européens (Allemagne, Autriche, France, Norvège, Suisse). Les contributeurs du colloque étudieront la spécificité du fonctionnement des chantiers et des métiers impliqués dans la construction des cathédrales hier et dans leur restauration aujourd’hui, et mettront en valeur les sources, écrites ou figurées, autorisant la recherche en ces domaines et la façon dont elles ont été exploitées ces toutes dernières décennies ; ils questionneront enfin le phénomène de circulation et d’échanges des savoirs et des compétences que l’on connaît depuis le Moyen Âge autour des chantiers des cathédrales.

DARIAH Annual Event 2019: Humanities Data
The DARIAH Annual Event 2019 thematizes a catalogue of research questions that arise when we speak of Humanities Data. At the very heart of this topic linger questions around the type and amount of data that humanists collect: what kind of data do we have; where is it; and who owns it? Is our data indeed complex, and if so, what makes it complex? How do definitions and conceptualisations of the term ‘data’ resonate with or, perhaps more accurately, alienate us from our conceptions of our source landscape as art and humanities scholars? And, of course, how will the major European policy initiative to build an Open Science Cloud for research data impact upon our practices and opportunities? The upcoming DARIAH Annual Event 2019 combines forms of encounter developed in prior meetings, such as Working Groups meetings, workshops organised by Working Groups and projects, and a Marketplace to exchange ideas around new research projects and infrastructural solutions with an open conference setting.

Call for papers - Early modern
Truth and falsehood during the Renaissance
Thanks to the coming of an information society and the rise of new media capable of spreading knowledge, our time is often described as a “post-truth” era. Could have any similar ambiguity been present in early modern Europe? Following the political and religious turmoil which marked the Renaissance period, together with the renewal of theorical and technical knowledges, a whole new range of relations between truth and falsehood was established, thus producing a crisis of the current “regimes of truth” which this PhD conference aims to investigate. This two-day long PhD conference aims to encourage new, reflections, debates and to raise new questions about the ever-complex relation of Truth / Falsehood in the Renaissance period, while focusing on their epistemological context.

Tele(visualising) health: TV, public health, its enthusiasts and its publics
Televisions began to appear in the homes of large numbers of the public in Europe and North America after World War II. This coincided with a period in which ideas about the public’s health, the problems that it faced and the solutions that could be offered, were changing. The threat posed by infectious diseases was receding, to be replaced by chronic conditions linked to lifestyle and individual behaviour. Public health professionals were enthusiastic about how this new technology. TV offered a way to reach large numbers of people with public health messages; it symbolised the post war optimism about new directions in public health. But it could also act as a contributory factor to those new public health problems.
