The Society for Technology and Philosophy’s 2021 Technological Imaginaries Conference
Technologies are always more than the sum of their mechanical parts. Indeed, technologies are entangled in symbolic forms of a social and cultural nature. Technologies also contribute to the construction of new worldviews and new forms of life. Technological imaginaries are far more than phantasies detached from technological innovation. They are at the heart of innovation itself, of the invention as well as of the implementation and use of technology in our societies.

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?

Japanese Primatology meets Anthropology of Life
Science and Personal Experiences in Chimpanzee Research
This workshop brings together Japanese primatology and anthropology of life, by presenting and discussing common points of scientific and philosophical interest in the study of chimpanzees, humans’ closest living relatives. What are the scientific and personal conceptions of chimpanzees’ lives held by primatologists? Conversely, are humans capable of accurately making inferences on how chimpanzees might perceive the lives of other beings around them?

Abraham Ibn Ezra, un savant à la croisée des cultures arabe, hébraïque et latine du XIIe siècle
In the middle of the eighth century, with the completion of the Islamic conquest of the eastern, northern and part of the western shores of the Mediterranean, Jews managed to successfully integrate into the ruling society without losing their religious and national identity. They willingly adopted the Arabic language, spoke Arabic fluently, wrote Arabic in Hebrew letters (Judeo-Arabic), and employed Arabic in the composition of their literary works. The twelfth century witnessed a cultural phenomenon that saw Jewish scholars gradually abandon the Arabic language and adopt Hebrew, previously used almost exclusively for religious and liturgical purposes, for the first time as a vehicle for the expression of secular and scientific ideas.

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 .

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.

Contemporary Cybernetic Performativity in the Life Sciences
This workshop will be devoted to the relations that currently link cybernetics to the life sciences. There is ample evidence of the existence of these links in the historiographical literature, from the inception of cybernetics in Northern America (Heims) as well as in Europe (Pickering). It is not our purpose to dwell on this here, but only to remember that several doctors in medicine and biologists participated in the first meetings of the cyberneticians funded between 1943 and 1951 by the Macy Foundation, a foundation whose work was mainly concerned with the health sciences...

Images environnementales globales : nouvelles perspectives
La conférence internationale propose de mobiliser une grande variété de perspectives venant d’un large spectre disciplinaire afin d’analyser les stratégies et les imaginaires liés à la production, la circulation et le pouvoir des images environnementales globales. Des icônes du mouvement environnementaliste en passant par les graphiques d’expert mobilisés par le GIEC jusqu’à l’imagerie satellitaire, les images environnementales globales forment la base sensorielle des processus planétaires qui gouvernent l’« Anthropocène ». Les images participent toutes activement, à des échelles très diverses, à notre interprétation et à notre compréhension aussi bien des changements du système Terre que des conséquences que l’on associe étroitement au changement climatique global. En tant que vrais médiateurs entre différents publics et cultures, entre des processus globaux et des impacts locaux, de nouvelles interrogations sur les images environnementales globales conduisent à une discussion hautement productive des relations complexes entre la science, la société, la politique et la nature.

Medicine and Environment: What kind of interdisciplinary collaborations for synthetic biology?
The international conference "Medicine and Environment: What kind of interdisciplinary collaborations for synthetic biology?" will explore how synthetic biology, a rapidly emerging scientific field, is constructed as an interdisciplinary assemblage involving diverse fields such as molecular biology, engineering, physics, chemistry, mathematics, sociology, computer science, etc. What roles are the scientific disciplines involved supposed to play? How is synthetic biology structured around interdisciplinary conceptions of research? What are the planned collaborations between the natural sciences and the social sciences?

From silicosis to silica hazards: an experiment in medicine, history and the social sciences
Quels sont les biais hérités de la constitution du savoir médical ? Peut-on retourner à la racine de la "vérité scientifique" pour ouvrir de nouvelles voies à la recherche contemporaine ? Expérience interdisciplinaire inédite, le présent colloque réunira médecins, épidémiologistes et historiens pour repenser les fondements des connaissances médicales actuelles en matière de « risques silice », afin de discuter de l'origine inconnue de toute une série de maladies systémiques.

New Perspectives on Visuality in the History of Science
The workshop will feature four sessions dedicated to some of the most important or well developed areas of visual studies of science: 1 “The making and materiality of visual objects”, includes the materials, techniques, tools and practices involved in the making of visual objects and their conservation; 2 “The circulation of images and of visual cultures” for instance among scientific practitioners, printers, engravers, draughtsmen, and different publics, but also across different publications; 3 “The uses and politics of the image” focuses on the intended functions of images e.g. in science popularization or teaching but also on their less intended uses in other realms and by other publics; and 4 "Images as epistemic objects” asks what roles images and visual objects play in scientific epistemology, e.g. as visual evidence. -

École de printemps franco-allemande du 20 au 24 avril 2009, Université de Bielefeld, Allemagne
The franco-german spring school "Science and Values" will discuss how and to what extent science implies or contains values, scientific knowledge influences values, values have an impact on scientific knowledge claims. The spring school will focus on how science contributes to – and at the same time potentially limits – cultural identity and also on the interrelations between science and society, espe-cially as they are shaped by requiring relevance for applications.
