  Tilting

  Urgent issue of The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge

  This special issue, Tilting, seeks to take up themes that have animated the Blackwood’s program and mandate throughout the last several years: questions of connectivity, the challenges of public and private space, community and/in isolation; imperatives to re-structure modes and methodologies of care, including revaluing care work, confronting collective care responsibilities within colonial and capitalist structures, and engaging with the infrastructures, aesthetics, contestations, and radical possibilities of mutual aid; responses to the precarization of art, labour, and life; interest in what modes of knowledge production, circulation, and re-distribution are vital to us now, and how these networks might take new form. These urgencies continue to drive Blackwood programming (and this forthcoming publication), supporting and activating artists, curators, and writers who incite us to be responsive, critical, and answerable.

  In-Corporate. The Human Sciences in Business History: between Naturalization and Legitimization (1880-1940)

  Even if human scientists and business executives like to argue otherwise, the human sciences have always been in-corporated. Without them, the modern business corporation would simply have been unimaginable, just as the production and consumption of working bodies within these corporations. ‘The Firm’ continues to frame itself as a fundamental human enterprise, in which the prominence of human ressources and human relations only continues to increase, yet the humanities of the business corporation largely remain to be written.

  Archival Scribes in the Medieval West

  Training, Careers, Connections

  L’historiographie continue de nous dispenser une image assez figée des « scribes » médiévaux, qu’il s’agisse des moines à l’œuvre dans le silence du scriptorium, des notaires toujours au four et au moulin, des clercs de chancellerie produisant des actes à la chaîne dans des ruches d’écriture officielle... Quelle part de réalité dans ces images d’Épinal ? Il s’agit de se demander qui écrit au Moyen Âge, plus spécifiquement dans le domaine foisonnant et méconnu du document normatif ou pratique destiné à faire archive. Quels sont les profils de ces scriptores – scribes, scripteurs, écrivants, « scribouillards » de toutes espèces – au service des grands princes ou des petits seigneurs, des officiers de justice ou des cours foncières, des grands ordres monastiques ou d’humbles collégiales, des autorités urbaines ou des communautés villageoises ?
