Innovation, Invention and Memory in Africa
IV Cham international conference, Lisbon, July 2019
The Portuguese Centre for Humanities (CHAM) is an inter-University research unit of the Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas, Universidade NOVA de Lisboa and of the Universidade dos Açores, funded by the Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia. CHAM’s team includes researchers from different disciplinary fields (Archaeology, Art History, Heritage, Literature, Philosophy and History of ideas), different domains of History (Economic, Cultural, Political, Social, Religious, History of Science and History of books and reading practices) and specialists from various geographic spaces. From 2015 to 2020, CHAM’s strategic project will focus on “frontiers”. This multi-disciplinary project considers frontiers as limits that distinguished, throughout history, a plurality of societies and cultures, but also as social and cultural constructs that promoted communication and interaction.

Geneva
Uses of the world and photography. Crossed perspectives on the work of Fred Boissonnas
Le département de géographie de l'Université de Genève organise une journée d'étude interdisciplinaire consacrée à l'œuvre du photographe Fred Boissonnas (1858-1946), l'un des acteurs majeurs de l’histoire de la photographie en Suisse. En croisant les approches, les savoirs, les points de vue, il s’agit de mettre en lumière la complexité et la richesse de la carrière de ce photographe-voyageur et éditeur, ses influences en Suisse et à l'étranger, et son héritage. L’étude de son œuvre permet de s'interroger sur le développement de l’usage de la photographie dans les sociétés européennes entre 1880 et 1930, comme art mais aussi comme moyen de communication pour appréhender l’ailleurs, le passé, et construire des identités tant locales que nationales.
