Ambiguity: Conditions, Potentials, Limits

Quantum Social Theory: The Future of Sociology?
In sociology, without explicit basis on quantum theory, numerous streams established strong similarities with it, setting at the forefront of their paradigm: the subjectivity of the observer, the continuous adjustment between the object and the observer, the impossibility to be fully deterministic or discussions about an objective reality. In this session, we invite panellists to discuss the links that can be drawn between quantum theory and sociology. We welcome both empirical (qualitative or quantitative) as well as theoretical papers. Depending on the variety and the quality of the papers, a publication will be considered to set the basis of this emerging theoretical stream.

Life between construction and destruction: Forms, rules and norms
Aside from the biological processes to which it is subjected from birth to death, human existence is characterized by the permanent effort all individuals and groups make to influence and control these processes, in order to live together. Whether occurring during a rite of passage or whether part of the interactions of everyday life, this construction invites us to question the various manners forms are made – be them “Life Forms” or “Forms of Life” – by carefully looking at the diversity of processes through which norms and rules become established .

Journal of Phenomenological and Existential Theory and Culture
Eros plays a central role in Western thought. In the philosophical and spiritual traditions, it usually refers to physical love and desire. Eros is a recurring character in the pre-Socratic cosmogonies, and it is the main impulse of the philosophical quest for truth in Plato’s Phaedrus. This Special Topics issue of PhænEx wishes to give a new impulse to philosophical reflections on this fundamental and ambiguous phenomenon, following an interdisciplinary perspective at the intersection of phenomenology, post-structuralism, and social sciences (psychology, sociology, sexology, anthropology, linguistics, etc.).

How Are Science and Technology Engaged in Eco-Innovations?
3rd ISA Forum of Sociology: joint Session RC23 and RC24
The aim of this joint session organized during the 3rd ISA Forum is to explore the various ways in which eco-innovations are studied at the intersection of environmental sociology with the sociology of science and technology. The session invites scholars who improve our understanding about the technical resolution of environmental issues. By so doing, we would like to open new paths for analysing the production, the adoption and the institutionalisation of ecoinnovations, but also the mobilization of skills and knowledge.

From silicosis to silica hazards: an experiment in medicine, history and the social sciences
What are the biases inherited from the constitution of medical knowledge? How does returning to the root of “scientific truth” open new avenues to contemporary research? The present colloquium is an unprecedented interdisciplinary experiment whereby medical experts, epidemiologists and historians will question the very foundations of current medical knowledge of silica hazards, in order to discuss the unknown origin of a range of systemic diseases.

Paris Philosophy of Social Science Roundtable
We have been organizing the thirteenth annual working conference on topics in philosophy of the social sciences. The 2011 Roundtable will continue a tradition of meetings that brings together philosophers and social scientists to discuss a wide range of philosophical issues raised in and by social research. Abstracts on any topic in philosophy of the social sciences or in the philosophy of social phenomena have been welcomed. We have especially welcomed papers that tackle philosophical issues as they arise in, and are consequential for, practicing social scientists. The result is a three-day program of papers to be presented in workshop format so that intensive discussion can be the focus of the meeting. We have particularly welcomed contributions from junior colleagues and colleagues new to the area. -

ANCo - Analyses normatives contemporaines
Ce séminaire rassemble des contributions à la recherche en éthique sociale venues de plusieurs champs et disciplines, principalement la philosophie, l’économie, la sociologie, les sciences politiques et le droit. L’éthique sociale est comprise comme la dimension normative de l’organisation sociale. Les contributions concernent des questions appliquées (évaluation des politiques publiques, évolution des inégalités, relations sociales) ainsi que des questions plus théoriques posées par la nature et les fondements de l’évaluation sociale (les outils de la philosophie morale et politique et de l’économie normative étant ici spécialement pertinents). -

Huitième table ronde internationale de sémiotique juridique
Eighth Roundtables for the Semiotics of Law - IRSL 2009
La rencontre de 2009 entend se concentrer sur les progrès réalisés dans les divers domaines – méthodologiques, épistémologiques et conceptuels – de recherche en sémiotique juridique. La table ronde souhaite, notamment, explorer les conséquences des thèmes suivants : « Transparence, contrôle et pouvoir » sous une perspective sémiotique ainsi que les approches émergeantes et prometteuses qui peuvent être utilisées dans la recherche et l'interprétation du droit et des phénomènes juridiques. Le but principal de cette rencontre est d'examiner les défis épistémologiques et méthodologiques auxquels « transparence, contrôle et pouvoir » fait face aujourd'hui et d'en considérer les effets. Nous espérons que les communications refléteront la nature interdisciplinaire des recherches en sémiotique juridique ainsi que les défis auxquels les chercheurs font face dans ce domaine. -

Lancement de la revue International Political Sociology
Conférence IPS-COST
La conférence jointe IPS-COST qui a lieu les 26 et 27 octobre prochains au CERI-Sciences Po Paris/CNRS est organisée dans le cadre du lancement de la revue International Political Sociology (IPS). Cette dernière, et le réseau de recherche qui l’entoure souhaitent encourager une perspective générale transdisciplinaire dans l’analyse des phénomènes du monde contemporain, en offrant un espace où pourront s’articuler des contributions de chercheurs du monde entier. La distribution géographique des membres du journal, du réseau COST et des programmes de recherche qui y sont associés (comme Challenge), loin de représenter un obstacle, ouvre au contraire à de nouveaux domaines de recherche. Cette conférence sera ainsi une excellente occasion de lancer cette dynamique de recherche internationale et d’aborder et de discuter des orientations éditoriales de la revue IPS et des visions croisées qu’elle véhicule. La conférence permettra de présenter le projet de la revue en tant que tel mais aussi ses trois premiers numéros. Elle illustrera, par les interventions au programme, les spécificités de la revue mais aussi son ouverture et les bénéfices à tirer d’une approche transversale émanant de disciplines aussi diverses que les Relations internationales, les sciences politiques, la sociologie ou la géographie politique… -

Beyond Signification. The Return of Reality and the Crisis of Poststructuralism
Graduate Conference Philosophy FU BERLIN
Today a growing number of people in the Humanities suggest that the times of poststructuralism have come to an end. According to them we concentrated on symbols, signs and discourse for far too long. Did we not thereby forget the reality of things? How do we account for the materiality of media, experiments, and writing? What happened to reality, substantiality and presence? This conference aims at discussing contemporary criticism of poststructuralism, its historical conditions, its impact on the present, and its implications for the future. Does poststructuralism really fail to acknowledge reality? How do we evaluate the emerging new theories that challenge poststructuralism?
