    Denunciation or dissimulation? Medical error in Antiquity and the Middle Ages

    Greece, Rome, Egypt, Near-East

    Mediator, Depakine, Thalidomides, contaminated blood, breast implants... health scandals over the past fifty years have regularly focused general attention on the problem of medical risk. They have raised many questions, abundantly relayed by the different media, showing us how crucial and complex the question of medical error is: where did the error come from? But before becoming a scandal, medical error has also been an inherent risk in the practice of medicine, since its very beginning. A mistake in diagnosis, prognosis or therapy, no matter how small, can have disastrous consequences for the doctor and the patient if not detected and corrected. Far from the huge media coverage of current health scandals, what is the status of medical error in ancient medicines and what are its issues?

    Research and innovation practices in non-academic settings in Europe (17th-21th Centuries)

    The aim of this conference is to examine the production of scientific, medical, technical and artistic knowledge in non-academic settings in Europe between the 17th and 21st centuries. The point is to understand who these non-academic social actors were, and to study the interactions between their research conditions, the knowledge produced and its reception. No presupposition on the marginality of or indeed centrality of said social actors should be deduced from the wording of the question. On the contrary, it calls for a study of the complex interactions between social and scholarly social spheres.

    Natural, synthetic, and digital: socio-material connections

    Numéro Spécial « Tsantsa » 26

    Ce numéro spécial de la revue Tsantsa souhaite initier une réflexion anthropologique autour des questions suivantes : Com­ment et dans quelle mesure le synthétique et le digital peuvent-ils aussi être biologiques, et qu’y a-t-il de naturel dans des produits et processus artificiels ? Quelles sont les frontières et les formes de contamination entre intelligence humaine et artificielle, entre production digitale et matérielle, ceci aussi bien dans les espaces économiques que dans les sphères intimes de la vie ? Quels questions et enjeux l’émergence de cultures digitales et synthétiques posent-elles à la condition humaine et post-humaine ? Comment le travail, la santé et les pratiques sociales sont-elles transformées par la digitalisation et le synthétisation croissantes des processus de production ? Comment la valeur est-elle créée et définie au travers de ces différents ordres épistémologiques, matériels et sociaux ? Quelles sont les conditions politiques, épistémologiques, écologiques et sociales qui sous-tendent un futur où propriétés digitales et synthétiques sont toujours plus imbriquées ?
