  Decolonizing Museum Cultures and Collections: Mapping Theory and Practice in East-Central Europe

  International conference for heritage scholars and practitioners

  This conference brings together curators, artists, scholars, and other intellectuals and cultural activists working on East-Central European heritage, to reflect on how the main trends of decolonial debate are intersecting in practical and theoretical terms with the heritage sector, with a particular focus on museums in the region. The conference will place special emphasis on mapping both the range of colonial histories embedded in, as well as decolonial approaches to, museum collections and practices in East-Central Europe.

  The politics and geopolitics of translation

  The multilingual circulation of knowledge and transnational histories of geography

  In the last fifty years, the field of the history of geography has moved from an approach dominated by National Schools to an attention to the circulation of knowledge in its multiple scales. The history of science and of geography have in the last decades incorporated concepts such as transit, networks, mobilities, the transnational, circulation, centre of calculation, spaces of knowledge, geographies of science, spatial mobility of knowledge, geographies of reading and geographies of the book. More recently, a turn has emerged towards considering the dynamics and necessities of decolonizing the history of geography. This work is turning the field of the history of geography into one of the most dynamic areas of the discipline. Yet we suggest that questions of language and translation have remained under-determined in this new field. Translation and writing have not received the same attention as, for instance, departmental histories, sites of museums, laboratories, botanic gardens, and scientific societies, for example. We suggest, therefore, that new perspectives opened up by translation studies can open new windows on the history of geography.

  Hippolyte Taine and the humanities and social sciences

  Études Sociales journal

  Un quart de siècle après le colloque « Taine au carrefour des cultures du XIX^e siècle » (1993), où en est-on de la réévaluation de son œuvre ? Plus précisément, que peut-on dire aujourd’hui de la place que Taine a occupée et occupe encore au sein des sciences de l’homme et de la société ? Se voulant un point d’étape sur la revisite toujours actuelle de l’œuvre de Taine, le dossier « Hippolyte Taine et les sciences de l’homme et de la société » des Etudes Sociales voudrait aussi contribuer à la nécessaire réflexion de ces sciences sur elles-mêmes, leur histoire comme leur actualité. En effet, bien qu’ayant vieilli, l’œuvre de Taine reste une pierre de touche des apories des sciences de l’homme et de la société. Le dossier envisagé comportera deux volets : l’apport de Taine, en son temps, à la constitution d’une science de l’homme et de la société ; la transmission et le devenir de l’oeuvre de Taine au sein des sciences humaines et sociales.
