  19th Management and Organizations History Conference

  Since its inception in 1995, the Accounting and Management History Conference, now History of Management and Organizations Conference, has remained an essential rendezvous for those interested in history and management. It brings together researchers in accounting, management, history, sociology, law and economics.Like every year all the papers proposed are welcome, however we would like to recommend an axis of reflection. Thus, the Association d’Histoire du Management et des Organisations (AHMO), the Institut de Recherche en Gestion (IRG, Université Paris-Est), and the Université Paris-Est – Marne-La-Vallée, with the support of the Association Francophone de Comptabilité, launch a call for papers on the theme of Innovation.

  In-Corporate. The Human Sciences in Business History: between Naturalization and Legitimization (1880-1940)

  Even if human scientists and business executives like to argue otherwise, the human sciences have always been in-corporated. Without them, the modern business corporation would simply have been unimaginable, just as the production and consumption of working bodies within these corporations. ‘The Firm’ continues to frame itself as a fundamental human enterprise, in which the prominence of human ressources and human relations only continues to increase, yet the humanities of the business corporation largely remain to be written.

  Thinking political ecology: social sciences and interdisciplinarity

  Ce colloque part du constat d'une difficulté : de quoi parle-t-on lorsqu’on parle d’ « écologie politique » ? Parle-t-on de développement durable ? d'après-développement, de bien vivre, d'écosocialisme, de décroissance, d'écosophie etc. ? Les enjeux n'ont jamais été plus actuels (Rio+20) et pourtant l'objet interroge toujours. Quels sont les enjeux ? Pourquoi les sciences sociales ont-elles tant de difficulté à en saisir le statut ? Comment penser la nécessaire transition de nos « modes de vie » vers des sociétés  « soutenables » ?

  History and Philosophy of Physics : The backstages of experiments

  Since the 1980s the history and philosophy of science has produced a number of studies about experiments, their aim, styles, intellectual and material components, and multiple disciplinary embedding. Measurement and its instruments have received special attention, as befits the central role they play in any quantitative science. Yet, save for cases in which measurement is the very purpose of experiment or in which it serves to isolate phenomena otherwise lost in noise, measurement processes rarely appear in the publication or in the ulterior discussions of an experiment. The metrological aspects remain in the backstage, for they are believed to be sufficiently shared and codified to elude contestation ; and yet their epistemic, social, and technical functions seem essential. The aim of this year’s seminar is to improve our understanding of these hidden metrological aspects of experiment.
