  Causes and Connections. On Divination and other Inquiries into Nature and Humans

  International Colloquium in Honor of Professor Geoffrey E. R. Lloyd

  Dans le cadre du PRI « Pratiquer le comparatisme : terrains, textes, artefacts », ce colloque international réunit ethnologues, philologues et philosophes autour des travaux de Geoffrey Lloyd et de leur apport à la pratique du comparatisme. En prenant appui notamment sur son ouvrage Cognitive Variations (2007), nous souhaitons interroger le problème de la coexistence de causalités autour d’un même événement, en mettant en perspective des pratiques rituelles saisies en contexte divinatoire et des savoirs prédictifs constitués en corpus de connaissances.

  Translation History Matters

  1st East and West Conference on Translation Studies

  This conference aims to provide a biannual forum for East and West dialogue on Translation Studies.  This inaugural edition will be dedicated to “Translation History Matters” and welcomes contributions addressing issues related (though not circumscribed) to translation history, historiography and metahistoriography. Centred on translation understood as an intentional phenomenon of human and mostly intercultural communication, this conference aims to focus on the role played by translation in Eastern and Western cultural practices and encounters through history as well as on the role of history to understand both translation and translation studies.  By bringing together Eastern and Western views on a multitude of translation history matters, this conference aims to stress why, how and for which purposes translation history matters.

  History of science, technology and medicine in East Asia

  Ce séminaire se veut un lieu de présentation de leurs travaux en cours par des chercheurs travaillant sur l’histoire des sciences, des techniques et de la médecine en Asie orientale, région où le chinois classique a longtemps été le principal véhicule des savoirs d’élite. Il s’adresse aux chercheurs et étudiants spécialistes de l’Asie ou historiens des sciences, des techniques et de la médecine. Nous nous y intéresserons autant aux savoirs « traditionnels » de la Chine impériale et de ses voisins qu’aux périodes moderne et contemporaine.
