Call for papers - Early modern
The subject of this international conference is the participation of women in the development of scientific ideas from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment. It welcomes reflections on women’s intellectual contributions to the creation of the « Republic of Letters », and how female curiosity was connected to the development of a new rationality that opened new paths towards modern science, while simultaneously being stimulated by the marvellous and the strange, as was manifest in the creation of scientific cabinets and collections of rare objects. It aims at encouraging reflections on the concept of female scientific curiosity. This will allow us to discuss the construction of a female subjectivity emerged from new approaches towards collections of naturalia.

Ambiguity: Conditions, Potentials, Limits

The 12th issue of On_Culture seeks to explore ambiguity in its potential and limits as an analytical tool for research in the study of culture. By the same token, the issue is also interested in perspectives on ambiguity as a cultural phenomenon in its historical situatedness and political dimensions.

The Middle Ages of the Social Sciences
The present issue of the Revue d’histoire des sciences humaines intends to gather inquiries into specific uses of the Middle Ages in twentieth century social sciences. The reference to the Middle Ages may result from a scholarly acquaintance with the medieval world, as well as from tools forged by medieval studies. Alternatively, it may be correlated with intricate cultural mediations, for example through religion or literature. We would like to invite the practitioners of the various disciplines of the SSH (psychoanalysis, sociology, historical anthropology, history, the history of science and knowledge, art history, and philosophy, among others) to contribute to this issue either with a case study, or with a broader methodological or epistemological reflection on their scientific and knowledge practices envisioned from an historical point of view.

The perception of scandals and silences change over time. What was once a silence can now be seen as scandalous. The committee invites graduate students from any field to submit proposals on a range of subjects including (but not limited to): To understand and theorise historical and current events, characters, and movements considered scandalous as well as their evolution over time; To analyse and shed light on the silenced, the forgotten and the marginalised in history and historical research; To explore the historiographical and epistemological issues related more broadly to the concepts of scandal and silence, but also disruptive approaches to the humanities.

Blockchain, the theological and religious imagination
Les études sur les technologies blockchain se multiplient. Elles envisagent en général les dimensions économiques, sociales et juridiques de ces technologies qui entendent renouveler le contrat social de bien des façons. Comme toute technologie émergente, la blockchain mobilise un imaginaire fiévreux, souvent nourri de références religieuses ou théologiques. Quel est leur statut ? Quelle influence exercent-elles sur la réception ou le développement de ces technologies ? Cette journée d’études, conclusion d’un séminaire conduit entre janvier et juin 2020 au sein du département Humanisme numérique du Collège des Bernardins, cherchera à décrypter cet imaginaire religieux.

Of pictures and what they think
Ce séminaire veut en premier lieu se montrer digne de ce mot sur lequel on passe d’ordinaire trop rapidement : il aimerait contribuer à ensemencer. Il tourne autour des deux mots grecs de logos et eikôn, le verbe et l’image pour employer une fois des traductions reçues et commodes. Cela dit on a depuis longtemps renoncé à traduire effectivement le premier, au-delà du prologue de Jean, et il sera plus prudent de faire de même pour le second, sans l’assimiler trop vite à ce latin image qu’il conviendra lui-même de démêler.
