Is the concept of sustainability misleading?

Mixed Perspectives

Le symposium offrira donc une excellente occasion d'interroger le concept de durabilité au carrefour de nos différentes disciplines et pratiques, afin de mieux comprendre et maîtriser la manière dont il affecte la recherche environnementale lato sensu. L'ambition de ce symposium sera de contribuer à l'émergence d'une « nouvelle discipline scientifique innovante en matière de durabilité » en s'interrogeant sur les abus qui ont pu être faits du concept au cours des quarante dernières années, en réfléchissant aux moyens d'écarter ces abus, en dessinant rigoureusement les contours de la « durabilité environnementale » et en essayant de comprendre comment elle a encore un sens.

Life and Mind. Aristotelian themes in contemporary philosophy

Despite the interest in exploring Aristotelian themes in contemporary philosophy, there has been no coordinated attempt to survey or integrate the ways in which Aristotle’s approach to understanding life, mind, and the relation between them might inform and enrich our own. The objective of this workshop is to explore the way in which Aristotelian thought can brought to bear on contemporary research on the much-debated issue of the so-called mind-body problem and on its implications for the conceptualization of notions such as that of organism, animal and human perception and action, human moral agency, and the relation between mind and life.

Moral Machines? Ethics and Politics of the Digital World

As our visible and invisible social reality is getting increasingly digitalized, the question of the ethical, moral and political consequences of digitalization is getting ever more pressing. All technologies mark their environment, but digital technologies do so much more intimately than any previous technologies since they promise to think in our place. But how do they really think? What happens when they are entrusted with moral decisions? Is a moral machine possible? Who is responsible of the social and political environments and situations digitalization creates? Should they be politically controlled and how? The conference Moral machines calls together scholars in philosophy, humanities, literature and art in order to discuss these pressing issues.

Post-doctorate researcher – The psychology of the ancient world: cognition, social psychology, emotions

Anchoring Work Package B

The concept that is central in “Anchoring Innovation” is “anchoring”, connecting what is perceived as new to what is deemed already familiar. “Anchoring” has a substantial social-psychological component. It may depend on the way in which relevant social groups categorize conceptually and linguistically what they perceive as new; it relates to the way in which new input (of whichever nature) is processed cognitively, including what emotional reactions such input elicits; and to the way in which “the new” fits into the value systems of such groups (this includes the ways in which they relate to the past).

The Brains that Pull the Triggers

3rd Paris Conference on Syndrome E

The conference will bring together scientists and scholars from the human, social and brain sciences to bear upon the question of transformation of seemingly ordinary individuals to repetitive agents of extreme violence in groups (Syndrome E). The aim of the upcoming conference is to foster a multidisciplinary approach trying to elucidate the brain mechanisms of this behavior and its collective characteristics, and also to evoke the social, psychological, ethical and juridical aspects. The conference will be a culmination and synthesis of three years of studies and discussions and will conclude with plans for further actions.

Intersections of Art, Science, and Technology in Soviet Film and Culture

By maintaining the tension between artists’ imaginative approaches to technology in the Soviet Union (Meyerhold’s Biomechanics), film directors’ use of science such as physiology (Eisenstein’s Expressive Movement), and scientists’ own theorization of art history (Lev Vygotsky’s The Psychology of Art), this workshop aims at unpacking the historical and political forces behind Soviet film theory, film practice, and art history in relation to science and technology. While examining the juncture between art, science, and technology in post-Revolutionary Russia, with a focus on the avant-garde period until the death of Joseph Stalin, cinema is thus considered as a device beyond its medium of film (Francois Albera, Maria Tortajada: Cinema Beyond Film) and the medium-specificity of the arts is called into question.

The brains that pull the triggers

The transformation of groups of previously nonviolent individuals into repetitive killers of defenseless members of society has been a recurring phenomenon throughout history. This apparent transition of large numbers of seemingly normal, “ordinary” individuals, to perpetrators of extreme atrocities is one of the most striking variants of human behavior, but often appear incomprehensible to victims and bystanders and in retrospect even to the perpetrators themselves and to society in general. This transition is characterized by a set of symptoms and signs for which a common syndrome has been proposed, Syndrome E (Fried, Lancet, 1997). The purpose of such designation is not to medicalize this form of human behavior, but to provide a framework for future discussion and multidisciplinary discourse and for potential insights that might lead to early detection and prevention.

The Brains that pull the Triggers

Paris Conference on Syndrome E

The transformation of groups of previously nonviolent individuals into repetitive killers of defenseless members of society has been a recurring phenomenon throughout history. This apparent transition of large numbers of so called “psychologically intact”, “ordinary” individuals, to perpetrators of extreme atrocities is one of the most striking variants of human behavior, but often appear incomprehensible to victims and bystanders and in retrospect even to the perpetrators themselves and to society in general. This transition is characterized by a set of symptoms and signs for which a common syndrome has been proposed, Syndrome E (Fried, Lancet, 1997). The purpose of such designation is not to medicalize this form of human behavior, but to provide a framework for future discussion and multidisciplinary discourse and for potential insights that might lead to early detection and prevention. The Brains that Pull the Triggers, a special conference under the auspices of the Paris Institute for Advanced Studies, will bring together scientists and scholars from the human, social and brain sciences along with guests from literature, politics, and law to bear upon this tragic invariant of the human condition.

Senses and sensuality in the Middle Ages

2nd ARDIT International Congress of Medievalists

With a distinctly interdisciplinary intention, the 2^nd ARDIT International Congress of Medievalists “Senses and sensuality in the Middle Ages” aims to give voice to innovative researches on multiple and corresponding fields, such as History, Philosophy, History of Art or Philology, among others. In this new researchers’ encounter we seek to open the door to the multiples insights and reflections about senses and sensuality in the Middle Ages, offering a wide range of aspects linked to the multiple narratives which this issue inspires: the ways of knowledge, sensory and spiritual pleasure, or artistic and literary forms which have captured the sensorial universe in the Middle Ages.

Exploring repetition in popular music

Over and Over: Exploring repetition in popular music aims at identifying and studying the recent aesthetic and analytical developments of musical repetition. From the 32-bar forms of Tin Pan Alley, through the cyclic forms of modal jazz, to the more recent accumulation of digital layers, beats, and breaks in Electronic Dance Music (EDM), repetition as both an aesthetic disposition or formal musicological property stimulated a diversity of genres and techniques. After decades of riffs, loops, vamps, reiterated rhythmic patterns, as well as pervasive harmonic formulae and recurring structural units in standardized song forms, the time has come to give these notions the place they deserve in the study of popular music.

Quatrième congrès international sur le carré des opposés

The Square : a Central Object for Thought

The square of opposition is a very famous theme coming from Aristotelian logic dealing with the notions of opposition, negation, quantification and proposition. It has been continuously studied by people interested in logic, philosophy and Aristotle during two thousand years. Even Frege, one of the main founders of modern mathematical logic, used it. This congress is an interdisciplinary event gathering logicians, philosophers, mathematicians, semioticians, artists, cognitivists, and computer scientists.

The Gazing Society

Approaches to the history of vision in the modern period, 19th-20th century

The CSC (Centro Interuniversitario di Storia Culturale) is looking for discussants for its fore-coming international conference on "The Gazing Society. Approaches to the history of vision in the modern period (19th-20th century)", that will take place in Padova, Italy at the beginning of 2012. The conference aims to be a stimulating opportunity for approaching the study of "the gazing society" between the 19th and the 20th centuries. Each historical period can be said to be characterized by its own “visual structures“, and, thus, by perceptive experiences, practices and languages which are culturally determined. History, and in particular modern history, can therefore offer a broad scope of research. The aim of the conference is precisely to build a comprehensive picture of the state of the art as well as to foster an international debate on the topic. The conference will be held in Italian and English.

Comment les femmes écrivent l’histoire à l’époque moderne en France et dans les Îles britanniques (XVIe-XVIIIe siècle)

Les femmes témoins de l’histoire

La première journée d’étude consacrée à l’écriture de l’histoire au début de l’époque moderne en France et en Angleterre (6 juin 2009) a montré que l’activité des femmes dans les genres historiques dominants que sont la chronique, l’historiographie officielle, l’histoire religieuse, l’histoire politique est à la fois ponctuelle et discontinue. Cependant, même si les femmes n’écrivent pas l’histoire comme les hommes, leur présence sur la scène de l’histoire, ou au contact de ceux qui la font, les autorise à livrer des récits précis sur le passé proche. Ces spectatrices engagées, prêtes à souffrir au nom de la vérité qu’elles décrivent, sont les auteurs d’importants témoignages que cette seconde journée voudrait examiner.

Réévaluer la gouvernance de l'internet. Éthique et politique dans les réseaux d'hommes et d'objets

Journée d'étude Vox Internet II

Réunion d'ICANN à Paris, lancement des Assises du numérique, l'internet et sa gouvernance sont fin juin sous les feux de l'actualité . Mais malgré le SMSI, l'objectif d'une gouvernance "transparente, multilatérale et démocratique" est confronté au statu quo. Le projet de recherche Vox Internet voudrait proposer un autre cadre d'analyse que la gouvernance procédurale pour aborder les promesses et limites de la participation de la société civile et celles de l'internet du futur. Une journée d'étude publique, organisée autour de quatre communications innovantes, vise à ouvrir des pistes pour la recherche et le débat.
