  Thinking prehispanic America, yesterday to today

  The construction of academic knowledge and political discourse

  Le premier colloque international de l’association ACERAP sera consacré à l’étude croisée de l’histoire de l’archéologie sur le continent américain, dans plusieurs pays comme le Pérou, le Mexique, le Chili ou le Brésil. Il s’agira, en premier lieu, de porter un regard rétrospectif et épistémologique sur la construction de l’américanisme, en mettant en relation le point de vue strictement scientifique, c’est-à-dire la redécouverte du patrimoine préhispanique, son étude au travers de plusieurs disciplines, et la dimension politique que représentent les discours et courants de pensée élaborés autour de l’archéologie, qui ont joué un rôle déterminant pour notre vision actuelle du passé américain. Cette journée de conférences sera également l’occasion de mettre en avant l’évolution des techniques d’analyse (méthodologie, conservation, archéométrie, etc.) et l’aspect pluridisciplinaires de l’archéologie.

  Thinking pre-Hispanic America, past and present - the construction of science and political discourse

  Pensar la América prehispánica, ayer y hoy: Construcción de los saberes científicos y discursos políticos

  Depuis le XIX^e siècle, la passion occidentale pour l’Amérique et ses peuples, dans toute leur diversité, à la fois géographique et sociale, a donné lieu à de nombreuses investigations anthropologiques, faisant intervenir avec succès plusieurs disciplines complémentaires telles que l’archéologie, l’ethnologie, la biologie ou encore la linguistique. Toutefois, la construction du discours scientifique ne peut être menée hors de l’histoire contemporaine, et c’est ainsi que l’étude de l’Amérique préhispanique a longtemps traîné son lot d’exégèses politiques, religieuses ou philosophiques. Cette rencontre propose donc de porter un regard à la fois rétrospectif et critique sur la construction scientifique de l’archéologie américaniste et les courants de pensées extérieurs, politiques ou idéologiques, ayant joué un rôle dans la perception moderne du passé américain.

  Thinking and conducting the transformation of work

  The contribution of the ergological approach and the works of Yves Schwartz

  The ergological approach intends to the co-production of knowledge with the aim of transforming work and more generally the social life. As stated by the scientific project of the Workshop, “the ergological approach, in its history and in its issues, is a priori a subject of interest for everyone, each exploring in its own way the intricacies of human life, but also anyone who wants to think about its own activity and that of others, to reconsider the ways of doing and taking action, of opening new perspectives in ways of working, acting and living”. Yet this approach, which is particularly needed nowadays, is insufficiently known and sometimes considered complex. This is the state of play at the origin of this international workshop for which this call for papers is published.

  Revisit Patrick Geddes

  In the interdisciplinarity of his thought, its international dimensions and the timeliness of his ideas, but also given the misunderstanding of his work in France, Espaces et Sociétés devotes its next folder issue to Patrick Geddes, pioneer of modern urbanism and interdisciplinary methods, precursor of environmentalism.  In effect, the environmental question has not emerged suddenly in urbanism, it goes back to the 19th century and the beginnings of the 20th century with authors such as Geddes.   The choice of Geddes reflects the interdisciplinarity of his thought, its international reach and the novelty of his ideas, but also by the lack of his work in France; it was necessary, in fact, to wait until 1994 for the first translation of his work Cities in Evolution (1915).  Equally this number wishes to address this oversight by understanding and by calling for a critical rereading of his work.

  Knowledges, Sciences, Techniques and State building in Iberian America, 1790-1870

  Over the last few decades the renewal of the history of the sciences has been marked by an opening towards non-European spaces, especially the Iberian Americas, and by the study of the relations between knowledges and power. We now have at our disposal a growing body of work on the imperial sciences, the contribution of the colonies to the advancement of knowledge, more particularly the natural sciences, and on the Enlightenment and the links between sciences, revolutions and independence in the colonial territories. However it is the opposite hypothesis that we seek to explore, highlighting both the modalities by which the legacy of the imperial, colonial Enlightenment was passed on and transformed, and the processes which meant that late 19th century Ibero-American societies, including Brazil and the Spanish colonies in the Caribbean, were ready to take full advantage of the new scientistic paradigm with a rapidity that ought to strike us as surprising.
