Conference, symposium - Europe

Paradigms, models, scenarios and practices in terms of strong sustainability

While the notion of sustainability continues to be associated with the Brundtland Report (1987) and the concept of sustainable development, a community of sustainability researchers and practitioners increasingly seeks to emancipate the concept to be consistent with the knowledge and aspirations of the moment. The enthusiasm and expectations for more sustainability go beyond mere environmental issues. They touch on crucial social issues as well. The symposium papers intends to question the paradigms, models, scenarios and practices that embody sustainability. One may wonder what meaning should be given to the very idea of sustainability and the representations it conveys.

Conference, symposium - Thought

Field philosophy and other experiments

This colloquium will bring together leading and emerging scholars to discuss, share, and analyze what similarities and differences there are between their respective humanities research projects, as conducted in the field, and to experiment with what new field practices might emerge from the humanities. How are field practices in the environmental humanities methodologically different from those in cultural anthropology, geography, or sociology? How might field research in philosophy reshape traditionally text-based disciplinary boundaries?

Writing the sciences today

Le thème central du colloque est l'internet, et les reconfigurations des disciplines universitaires depuis son essor : en termes de pratiques (outils, méthodes, données , savoir-faire, etc.), de problématiques (nouvelles, réactualisées, ou infléchies du fait de l'internet) et d'équilibres (recomposition des frontières entre disciplines, émergence de disciplines mixtes). Le propos n'est pas de raisonner en termes de révolution, mais d'articuler les changements présents avec le passé lointain ou récent, en explorant la notion d'instrument : de techniques et de méthodes intellectuelles.
