  The politics and geopolitics of translation

  The multilingual circulation of knowledge and transnational histories of geography

  In the last fifty years, the field of the history of geography has moved from an approach dominated by National Schools to an attention to the circulation of knowledge in its multiple scales. The history of science and of geography have in the last decades incorporated concepts such as transit, networks, mobilities, the transnational, circulation, centre of calculation, spaces of knowledge, geographies of science, spatial mobility of knowledge, geographies of reading and geographies of the book. More recently, a turn has emerged towards considering the dynamics and necessities of decolonizing the history of geography. This work is turning the field of the history of geography into one of the most dynamic areas of the discipline. Yet we suggest that questions of language and translation have remained under-determined in this new field. Translation and writing have not received the same attention as, for instance, departmental histories, sites of museums, laboratories, botanic gardens, and scientific societies, for example. We suggest, therefore, that new perspectives opened up by translation studies can open new windows on the history of geography.

  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…
