  History and polemics: historiographical debates and the public space

  Ever since history became an academic knowledge, historiographical debates have been exceptional moments of construction, condensation and dissensus, often resulting in historiographical turns. Controversies around specific themes have divided entire fields of knowledge production, bringing into light different, often contrasting conceptions, methodologies and practices of historical knowledge. Such debates were, at the same time, moments in which the description and interpretation of the past represented a public intervention in the present, in which the defense of a certain way of making sense of history was also a way of taking of sides in a specific contemporary political discussion. Historiographical polemics were therefore moments in which historiographical knowledge had to confront in the public space other approaches to the past, thus making visible, and challenging, the paradigms that rule the historical discipline and public history.

  Rethinking the digital transition - Beauviatech international conference

  Colloque international Beauviatech

  Ce colloque ambitionne d’interroger, à nouveaux frais, la relation argentique/numérique en cherchant à la replacer dans un contexte bien plus large d’histoire des techniques et des formes. Si le programme BEAUVIATECH, s’intéresse plus particulièrement pour sa part à ces questions techniques sous l’angle d’une étude approfondie de la société française de fabrication de matériel audiovisuel Aaton et de ses relations avec les techniciens et cinéastes des années 1970 à nos jours, ce colloque souhaite élargir la réflexion en se focalisant sur un moment particulier de cette histoire technique du cinéma, correspondant à une importante crise de l’argentique au profit du support numérique.

  Graphic design. Ways of doing research

  The graphic design field has been witnessing a steadily growing interest in research. A new wave of researchers recently emerged. However, without a formally defined discipline, these researchers generally work from within other disciplines, using sometimes very different methods, frameworks and references. This one-day conference will be questioning these theoretical frameworks and methods by those who are designing and using them. What are “designerly ways of knowing” and ways of doing that are specific to graphic design research? The discussions will help us develop a shared paradigm and establish a common ground for the discipline.
