PJCV seeks articles exploring themes of conflict and violence in the life, work, thought, and intellectual legacy of Jacques Ellul (1912-1994). An “atypical, uncategorizable thinker, transgressing disciplinary borders” (François Dosse), Ellul penned a vast corpus of provocative and original writings in two broad categories: first, sociological writings analyzing elements of twentieth-century western society as expressions of technique (understood as a rational and willful drive will towards ordered efficiency); second, essays in protestant theological ethics and meditative biblical interpretation. These writings bring the voices of Ellul’s three major influences—Søren Kierkegaard, Karl Marx, and the Swiss Protestant theologian Karl Barth—into stimulating dialectical conversation about politics, technology, art, media, communications, institutional evolution, morality, language, anarchy, revolution, urbanism—and notably, violence.

Histories of confontations (19th -20th centuries)
L’époque contemporaine a vu les mathématiques prendre progressivement une place centrale dans le développement des techniques de guerre, grâce au développement de domaines comme la balistique ou les méthodes de cryptage, mais aussi des recherches touchant à l’organisation ou aux choix stratégiques. Ce colloque entend analyser le positionnement des mathématiciens face aux guerres, et aux nouvelles sollicitations que le développement de leur science occasionne, entre repli sur une hypothétique « science pure » et implication directe pour répondre aux besoins militaires, à travers une étude comparée de différents conflits qui ont marqué les XIXe et XXe siècles. Conçu comme un lieu de rencontre entre historiens et mathématiciens, ce colloque ne requiert aucune formation mathématique préalable.
