History of Science, History of Text
The seminar examines the various types of documents produced in the context of scholarly practices in order to understand how the shaping of textual forms and inscriptions is part of the scientific activity. The seminar also aims to understand how these works make it possible to better interpret the sources on which historians of science draw to conduct their research.

Postdoctoral Position in History of Sciences
Le projet PrehisTropic (Préhistoire sous les tropiques. Peuplements, adaptations, comportements en milieu tropical et subtropical sur le temps long) propose un contrat post-doctoral 2019 en histoire des sciences. Les recherches sur la préhistoire des zones tropicales et subtropicales se développent considérablement depuis quelques décennies, mais elles restent en France relativement isolées les unes des autres, s’attachant principalement à des problématiques régionales.

The use of categories in History and their use by historians
La deuxième Journée d'études des jeunes chercheurs et chercheuses du CHAC - Centre d'Histoire de l'Asie contemporaine de l'université Paris 1 - réunira les masterant·e·s, doctorant·e·s et jeunes docteurs du centre autour du thème des processus de catégorisation dans les empires et de l'usage de ces catégories par les historiennes et historiens. Les catégories de races, genres mais aussi tribus ou castes, jouent en effet un rôle majeur dans la construction de rapports de domination dans les empires.

Limits of the western police model in China
In the past 20 years, the Research Center on Shanghai History (ECNU) and the Lyon Institute of East Asian Studies (IAO) have established close cooperative relations : joint projects, joint publications, joints conferences, as well as the co-training of graduate students have become significant and regular markers of increasingly close relationships. On this basis we hope to further co-promote Shanghai and Tianjin as centers of new urban history and social order. This project will avail new archival materials (municipalities archives), memoirs of policemen, photography, illustrated journals, correspondances, police reports etc…

"The Balfour Declaration" : What centenary
In order to address this notorious Declaration, we propose a debate on the historical, political and geostrategic circumstances that led to the Balfour Declaration, and how practical politics influences the making of Britain’s foreign policy. The Balfour Declaration and its ramifications at the local and global levels could be tackled with reference to a myriad of theoretical frameworks such as the postcolonial/political theory, new historicism, ethnography, to name but a few.

Operative knowledges of matter, from Renaissance to industrialization
Following the renewal of the history of Technology and of the history of chemistry, this Research Seminar intends to explore operative knowledge in chemistry in connection with several fields including economics, political management, consumption and production processes. It seeks to shed a light, since the Early modern period, on various configurations where experimentation, exploration, transformation of Matter were held, through a wide range of technical devices.

In partibus fidelium - missions in the Levant and knowledge of the Christian East
19th-21st centuries
Ce colloque international se penchera sur l’assimilation en Europe de connaissances relatives aux cultures chrétiennes-orientales, à partir surtout du dernier tiers du XIXe siècle, et sur le rôle que les missions ont joué dans ce processus. Ces connaissances nouvelles sont fondées en grande partie sur les travaux menés sur le terrain, au Moyen-Orient, en particulier sur les manuscrits conservés dans les monastères et les patriarcats, et plus généralement sur le patrimoine littéraire, linguistique, archéologique, cartographique et musicologique, des communautés chrétiennes installées.

Conference, symposium - Representation
The development of art history as a discipline during the 19th century has been variously associated with the politics of national identity, the needs of a growing bourgeois public in search of cultural capital, or of an expanding art market. However, the role of art training, and art practitioners themselves in the shaping of the discipline remains unexamined. Courses in art history had been systematically introduced in the curricula of art and architecture academies since the late 18th century, and spaces of art education count among the first institutional homes of the discipline, well before the establishment of autonomous university chairs. This conference aims to explore the interactions and productive tensions between art practice and art scholarship in the 19th century.

Circulation and Scientific Institutions
The Americas, Western Europe, South Asia (1750s-1914)
While historians should take into account the movements in space that constantly transform sciences, they should not lose sight of the specific locations dedicated to the daily work of scientists. In scientific facilities (museums, laboratories, hospitals, etc.), modern scientists use their research instruments, meet with members of their networks, teach, and interact with various actors from outside of their scientific community. Participants in this symposium will seek how to write the history of this dynamic between circulation and institutions of science.

Exploring 19th and 20th centuries historiographies of mathematics in the ancient world (2015-2016)
Seminar of the European Research Council Project "Mathematical sciences in the ancient world"
The organization of this seminar marks the beginning of the third and last phase of the SAW project. Our aim is to explore various facets of 19th and 20th century historical research about ancient mathematical sciences, especially those attested to by sources written in Chinese, the languages of the Indian subcontinent and cuneiform script.

This monthly seminar will aim to invite researchers to come and present their work in progress or recently published that address the "Arab mathematics", understood in a broad sense to be studied not only mathematics itself, but science "mathematized" of the era, such as astronomy, optics and static; Furthermore, we do not restrict themselves to only written in Arabic mathematics, but we can address their writings in other languages extensions, like Latin, Hebrew and Farsi. The texts studied will be discussed at sessions of three hours. Emphasis on reading and commenting on sources.

History of Science, History of Text (2011-2016)
In 2015-2016, the seminar "History of Science, History of Text" will keep exploring textual problems related to the ERC Project SAW (“Mathematical Sciences in the Ancient World”) As in previous years, the seminar will address the following issues regarding scientific sources: how textual sources bear witness to the social groups that produced them; how textual sources testify to knowledge; history of compilations; how actors structure their texts and knowledge into parts; how textual sources reflect the material environment in which they were produced In line with the beginning of phase 3 of the project SAW, devoted to facets of the history of the historiography of ancient mathematics, the seminar will pay special attention to the sources attesting to work in the history of mathematics.

Modernizers: Changing science and society in the Middle East and North Africa (1870s-1930s)
Re-constructing a local genealogy of the scientific modernization in North Africa and the Middle East is still a pending task. Research on modern Arab-Islamic scientists, physicians and engineers will help expand the collective memory of modernization in those countries by adding new, often badly-known or forgotten actors to its ranks. Biographies will also help illuminate the intrinsic connection existing between science and society, showing how science has always been a necessary element in plans for national independence, social change and democratic rule. This conference will focus on the biographies of some late 19th-early 20th century scientists from Morocco, Egypt, Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria

Global history and social: the issues of a dialogue
Doctoral workshop
Quelles sont les conditions d'écriture d'une histoire globale localisée dans la densité des terrains et des tissus sociaux? Cet atelier doctoral entend aborder les enjeux de la réception d'un courant historiographique venu du monde anglo-saxon par les historiographies européennes au cours des vingt dernières années. Grâce à l'éclairage d'historiens spécialistes de la Méditerranée, de l'Afrique, de l'Amérique et de l'Asie, il s'agit de donner aux participants les clés pour comprendre les débats actuels et des pistes pour renouveler ces approches.

Museum collections as historical sources
Naturalist knowledge and environmental dynamics
Les collections des musées d’histoire naturelle représentent des sources nouvelles en histoire environnementale comme en histoire des sciences. Elles permettent d'éclairer les pratiques de terrain des scientifiques, de leurs « collaborateurs » et de collecteurs plus anonymes. Mais il est nécessaire de contextualiser les indications livrées par les métadonnées accompagnant les objets des collections à partir des écrits des différents acteurs impliqués dans les collectes d’objets et d’espèces végétales ou animales. Comment ces collections et les écrits associés peuvent-ils servir à reconstituer l’élaboration des savoirs naturalistes et leur évolution du XVIIe au XXe siècle ? Comment peuvent-ils aider à saisir la dynamique des écosystèmes ?
