  Curiosity, Intellectual Enterprises and Scientific Explorations in the Writings of Women in the Early Modern Period (16th-18th centuries)

  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.

  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.

  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.
