  Thinking pre-Hispanic America, past and present - the construction of science and political discourse

  Pensar la América prehispánica, ayer y hoy: Construcción de los saberes científicos y discursos políticos

  Depuis le XIX^e siècle, la passion occidentale pour l’Amérique et ses peuples, dans toute leur diversité, à la fois géographique et sociale, a donné lieu à de nombreuses investigations anthropologiques, faisant intervenir avec succès plusieurs disciplines complémentaires telles que l’archéologie, l’ethnologie, la biologie ou encore la linguistique. Toutefois, la construction du discours scientifique ne peut être menée hors de l’histoire contemporaine, et c’est ainsi que l’étude de l’Amérique préhispanique a longtemps traîné son lot d’exégèses politiques, religieuses ou philosophiques. Cette rencontre propose donc de porter un regard à la fois rétrospectif et critique sur la construction scientifique de l’archéologie américaniste et les courants de pensées extérieurs, politiques ou idéologiques, ayant joué un rôle dans la perception moderne du passé américain.

  European Space Agency's Space History Conference

  There is more to space than rocket science. Historians, diplomats, economists, law students, political scientists and sociologists have all contributed to our understanding of the space age and its impact on our societies over the past decades. Sixty years on from the placing of the first human-made object in orbit around Earth, space is now an integral part of our daily lives. Space science and technology are projects for the whole of humankind, reaching not only outside Earth’s atmosphere, but also beyond our Solar System. While the technological and scientific challenges of working, living and travelling in space motivate students to pursue such studies, the impact of space activities on our lives on Earth, on relations between nations and organisations, and our collective recent history, provides fertile ground for students and scholars in the humanities to take up space-related subjects.

  Thinking and conducting the transformation of work

  The contribution of the ergological approach and the works of Yves Schwartz

  The ergological approach intends to the co-production of knowledge with the aim of transforming work and more generally the social life. As stated by the scientific project of the Workshop, “the ergological approach, in its history and in its issues, is a priori a subject of interest for everyone, each exploring in its own way the intricacies of human life, but also anyone who wants to think about its own activity and that of others, to reconsider the ways of doing and taking action, of opening new perspectives in ways of working, acting and living”. Yet this approach, which is particularly needed nowadays, is insufficiently known and sometimes considered complex. This is the state of play at the origin of this international workshop for which this call for papers is published.

  The politics and poetics of museology

  40th annual ICOFOM symposium

  It has become rather banal to speak of the museum as a place of power. Whether one refers to it as media, as medium, or as device, we must understand that this institution, emblematic of occidental civilization, has always aroused the interests of local political régimes, whatever they may be. The creation of the British Museum and the birth of the Louvre illustrate the many different ways the public has of seeing the links between knowledge and collections. Furthermore the advent of each new political régime (from democracy in America to the Marxist-Leninist system in the Soviet Union, passing by fascist Italy and national-socialist Germany) marks museums with its imprint, as well as its system of communication, preservation and research.
