Geneva
Thinking and classifying collections of scholarly societies
Study day organised by the Geneva society of arts
Dans le cadre de son projet de valorisation des ressources historiques initié en 2016, la société des arts de Genève propose une journée d’étude autour de la thématique « Penser / classer les collections des sociétés savantes ». Cette rencontre invite à s’interroger sur la constitution et les usages des collections des sociétés savantes actives en Europe à partir de la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle et tout au long du XIXe siècle, et à partager des expériences sur la manière dont elles sont conservées et valorisées de nos jours. Elle s’adresse à tous chercheurs confirmés, jeunes chercheurs, archivistes, représentants de sociétés savantes souhaitant présenter et débattre d’un thème en lien étroit avec la question plus globale de la sauvegarde du patrimoine des institutions culturelles.

Visions urbaines et sociales pour le développement durable
La journée d'étude Bernardo Secchi vise à rassembler chercheurs, doctorants, praticiens et décideurs de la ville pour interroger les rapports entre égalité / inégalité sociale, soutenabilité écologique et qualités spatiales des territoires urbains autour de trois questions : économie durable et solidaire : quels en sont les liens d'interaction avec l'environnement construit ? Gouvernance éco-responsable : comment l'espace architectural et urbain peut-il en devenir un champ d'application stratégique ? Âge urbain et équilibre planétaire : quelles orientations du projet architectural, urbain et paysager pour une gestion innovante des ressources ?

Avant de devenir métaphore, les esprits animaux ont été considérés, aussi bien dans les théories philosophiques, théologiques que médicales, comme de minuscules corps, subtils, invisibles mais bien réels. Pour tous ils forment le lien pneumatique entre le corps et l’âme, entre l’esprit et la matière. Ils prennent la place du pneuma antique pour former une substance vaporeuse indéfinissable. Ils sont responsables de nos mouvements et de nos sensations ; ils influencent notre imagination et notre jugement. Délaissés à la fin du dix-huitième siècle, ils sont repris par Keynes qui leur attribue les comportement irrationels qui régissent certains processus économiques. Ils seront l'objet d'un colloque qui se tiendra les 4, 5 et 6 février 2016, à l'Université de Genève.

Flashbacks. Nostalgic media and mediated forms of nostalgia
Can media really be nostalgic? Which specific forms of nostalgia appear in contemporary society and why? Can people be nostalgic if they did not experience the past they pretend being nostalgic of? What kind of politics of nostalgia exist? What is the impact of nostalgia on the media market and its influence on economy? Finally, given the arbitrary (?) use of the past in all its imaginable variations and cultural systems, is it still possible to use the word nostalgia or should there be a neologism describing the transformation of the past in(to) the digital era? Could it even be possible to be simply nostalgic of nostalgia; finally describing the eternal research for (lost) identity? This international conference aims to explore nostalgia as a (mass) media phenomena and also seeks for contributions that treat any other mediated forms of nostalgia. -

What is coalition? Reflections on the conditions of alliance formation with Judith Butler’s work
This one-day conference aims to reflect – historically, sociologically, philosophically – on the conditions of possibility, on the objects, means and purposes of alliance formation – between minorities, with the State, political parties, and other public actors, or between disciplines, or even across species (e.g. animal-human), etc. –, of political transformation, and thus of a collective agency, in both domestic and international contexts, through the concrete and generic question of “What is coalition?” – with special interest for the ways in which critical perspectives inspired from feminist and queer theory can be made into productive tools to theorize the political at various levels, at different times and locations, but also to intervene and do better democratic work. -
