Field philosophy and other experiments
This colloquium will bring together leading and emerging scholars to discuss, share, and analyze what similarities and differences there are between their respective humanities research projects, as conducted in the field, and to experiment with what new field practices might emerge from the humanities. How are field practices in the environmental humanities methodologically different from those in cultural anthropology, geography, or sociology? How might field research in philosophy reshape traditionally text-based disciplinary boundaries?

How can social sciences help us understand the nuclear world ?
Le colloque interdisciplinaire, « Les chantiers du nucléaire », se propose d’ouvrir un chantier, celui des relations entre le nucléaire et les SHS. Il s’agira de faire un bilan des recherches existantes et de capitaliser sur cet acquis conséquent, en examinant les approches choisies, les méthodes mises en œuvre, les difficultés rencontrées et in fine les aspects non retenus ou non analysés de cet objet à multiples facettes. Dans un second temps, nous souhaiterions interroger la pertinence des apports des SHS aux débats contemporains sur l'industrie nucléaire. -

An Historical Perspective
While contemporary grumblings about hospital food have become the quintessential hospital complaint, it is undeniable that a clean, warm bed, rest and the provision of food and drink, rather than medicines and therapies have always greatly increased hospital patients’ chances of recovery. Indeed diet has from the time of Galen been a central part of medical therapy. However, even if central to the day-to-day routine of hospitals, workhouses and asylums, food and drink continue to be overlooked in historical accounts of hospitalisation. This conference aims to foreground the role of food and drink in health care institutions in the past. -

Power, Resistances and Tensions. History of Electric Mobilities, 19th-20th Centuries
L'électricité est aujourd'hui employée pour de nombreuses formes de mobilité et nombreux sont les projets allant dans le sens d'un usage plus massif de cette énergie pour se déplacer. L'appel à communications de ce colloque se propose d'envisager sur le temps long cette relation entre électricité et mobilité, en interrogeant les pratiques et imaginaires d'une énergie qui, si elle a trouvé des applications concrètes dans le domaine des transports, s'est également bien souvent confrontée à des désillusions. Colloque organisé par l'Université Paris I (laboratoire IRICE UMR 8138) et l'Université Paris Diderot (laboratoire ICT EA 337) avec le soutien de l'ISCC-CNRS.
