  What of truth can be taught?

  Ce projet d’ouvrage collectif est porté par Emmanuel Nal (Mulhouse, LISEC, EA 2310, équipe Normes et Valeurs) et Sylvain Roux (Poitiers, MAPP, EA 2626). Il s’inscrit dans le domaine de la philosophie pratique, commun aux axes de recherche des deux laboratoires et s’adresse à un public d’enseignants, mais aussi de soignants et de manière générale à un public citoyen ; son objet consiste à interroger l’état de l’art des recherches menées sur la vérité dans une finalité d’épistémologie de l’action : que peut-on faire et que peut-on enseigner de la vérité ?

  Quantum Social Theory: The Future of Sociology?

  In sociology, without explicit basis on quantum theory, numerous streams established strong similarities with it, setting at the forefront of their paradigm: the subjectivity of the observer, the continuous adjustment between the object and the observer, the impossibility to be fully deterministic or discussions about an objective reality. In this session, we invite panellists to discuss the links that can be drawn between quantum theory and sociology. We welcome both empirical (qualitative or quantitative) as well as theoretical papers. Depending on the variety and the quality of the papers, a publication will be considered to set the basis of this emerging theoretical stream.

  The Legacies of Ursula K. Le Guin: Science, Fiction and Ethics for the Anthropocene

  Planetary ethics and aesthetics, interspecies communities, post-gender and anarchist societies, indigenous knowledge, vegetal sentience... The paths Ursula K. Le Guin has opened for our imagination to travel are numerous, subtle itineraries through which we might find ways to better inhabit the XXI^st century. The international bilingual conference "Le Guin's Legacies" will engage with her work from a multiplicity of perspectives, tracing its literary, ecological, philosophical, socio-economical and anthropological ramifications: its potential for re-engineering the world we live in.

  How Are Science and Technology Engaged in Eco-Innovations?

  3rd ISA Forum of Sociology: joint Session RC23 and RC24

  The aim of this joint session organized during the 3rd ISA Forum is to explore the various ways in which eco-innovations are studied at the intersection of environmental sociology with the sociology of science and technology. The session invites scholars who improve our understanding about the technical resolution of environmental issues. By so doing, we would like to open new paths for analysing the production, the adoption and the institutionalisation of ecoinnovations, but also the mobilization of skills and knowledge.

  From silicosis to silica hazards: an experiment in medicine, history and the social sciences

  What are the biases inherited from the constitution of medical knowledge? How does returning to the root of “scientific truth” open new avenues to contemporary research? The present colloquium is an unprecedented interdisciplinary experiment whereby medical experts, epidemiologists and historians will question the very foundations of current medical knowledge of silica hazards, in order to discuss the unknown origin of a range of systemic diseases.

  Questions and shortcomings

  L’enjeu de cette journée d’étude est de proposer une lecture des enjeux de cette tradition compréhensive, en ne refusant évidemment pas de la mettre en débat. Il s'agit de présenter des analyses conceptuelles, théoriques, épistémologiques, ainsi que de permettre d'éclairer le débat autour de cette tradition à partir de sa confrontation avec des recherches empiriques.
