  Untranslatable realities? Translation through the prism of the social sciences from Antiquity to the present day

  Autumn schoo at the Centre d'études franco-russe de Moscou (CEFR)

  Inscrit dans le cadre de l’année franco-russe des langues et des littératures, cet appel à communication pour une école d’automne en sciences sociales organisée par le Centre d'études franco-russe de Moscou (CEFR) propose d’utiliser la traduction comme point d’entrée d’une réflexion sur les sources, méthodes et théories en sciences sociales. L'ambition de cette école est d’aborder la question de la traduction d’un point de vue non exclusivement linguistique et littéraire. En rassemblant des chercheurs en sciences sociales et des traducteurs, l’enjeu sera d’engager une réflexion et un dialogue sur la traduction comprise tant comme un objet de recherche que comme une pratique.

  Summer School - Science studies

  Research, pedagogic sessions and tools for controversy mapping

  FORCCAST Summer School 2015

  In 2014, we started the FORCCAST summer school with a provocative question: “What is a good controversy?”. We began by lining up case studies selected by participants which were then discussed by  participants in small groups. We would like to continue this exercise by inviting scholars working on controversies to present their case study and situate the notion of “controversies” in relation to more established and used social sciences concepts. It is not unfair to detect a somewhat casual use of “controversies” as an analytical resource. Against this trend, we encourage scholars to present research that falls within this area, and also to refine the coarse nature of the very term “controversy”. Over the years, we will build a repository of case studies that should help all of us to analyze the diversity behind the use of the term “controversies”, to identify some patterns, and hopefully to build a common typology.
