  Biocosmos - Our sense of place, our sense of life in the universe

  Planet scientists and exoplanet astronomers are re-shaping our understanding of the universe, presenting a fascinating cosmos filled with places and destinations, not an empty void. At the same time, Earth physicists and biologists design models of self-sustainable ecosystems such as Biosphere 2 and the Mars/Lunar Greenhouse, with the goal of engineering bio-regenerative mini-worlds that can function on their own. As these scientific revolutions unfold, with distant spaces and global life systems as objects of “field work”, what counts as the “human environment”? How do we, as individuals and societies, relate to spaces, things, and processes we do not or cannot experience directly and which we see as “extreme” or “beyond” human?

  Sciences et savoirs dans le monde atlantique francophone (XVIe-XVIIIe siècles)

  L'objectif de cette rencontre est de confronter diverses analyses portant sur la construction et la circulation des savoirs dans l’Atlantique francophone des XVIe, XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. En s’attachant à souligner certaines spécificités de l’histoire des savoirs dans l'Atlantique français de l'époque moderne, cet atelier abordera des thèmes aussi variés que la cartographie, la botanique, les savoirs médicaux ou les contacts entre savoirs africains, amérindiens et européens. Au-delà d’une réflexion d’ensemble sur les enjeux d’une telle histoire pour penser l’histoire coloniale française de l’époque moderne, une table ronde clôturera cette rencontre afin de situer cette histoire par rapport à celles, plus familières, des espaces coloniaux de la Grande-Bretagne et de l’Espagne.
