First Jean Brunhes Conference
The first Jean Brunhes conference will focus on current re-conceptions of the social. To what extent do new perspectives in Human Heography focusing on concepts such as practice, performance, assemblage, network or system represent an epistemological shift? Do they add to, redefine or replace more traditional concepts within human geography such as space, place, territory or region? What kind of knowledge do these perspectives produce and how do they transform the relationship between knowledge and action? What are the political consequences of these perspectives? And what’s next? -

Doing Politics/Acting Politically
An International Workshop on The Political Dimension of Situated Practices
In recent years, abstract entities such as the State, the Citizen and Power inherited from political philosophy have been reassessed empirically, notably under the influence of pragmatist considerations in social science approaches of the political order. This important development has led to a much more concrete understanding of modern democracies, now seen as a contingent process rather than the direct outcome of institutional structures. The workshop will contribute to this development through presentation and discussion of related research projects. These projects have in common an observational approach to the situated practices through which political phenomena emerge in the first place. -

Peter of Auvergne - University Master of the 13th Century
Pierre d’Auvergne (m. 1304) fut un des plus grands maîtres actifs à l’Université de Paris au dernier quart du treizième siècle. À coté d’auteurs comme Albert le Grand, Thomas d’Aquin ou Jean Buridan, Pierre d’Auvergne est considéré encore aujourd’hui parmi les plus importants commentateurs médiévaux du Corpus Aristotelicum, duquel il commenta une ample partie. L’importance de sa pensée est attestée soit par l’influence qu’il exerça sur des auteurs postérieures, soit par le nombre des manuscrits qui contiennent ses ouvrages.Bien qu’il y ait nombreux articles et éditions dédiés à cet auteur, ce colloque à réaliser à l’Université de Fribourg (CH) sera le premier entièrement consacré à Pierre d’Auvergne. Avec des spécialistes provenant de divers pays, le programme couvre un éventail de matières, qui va de sa biographie et carrière à Paris jusqu’à sa pensée et son influence.
