    The politics and geopolitics of translation

    The multilingual circulation of knowledge and transnational histories of geography

    In the last fifty years, the field of the history of geography has moved from an approach dominated by National Schools to an attention to the circulation of knowledge in its multiple scales. The history of science and of geography have in the last decades incorporated concepts such as transit, networks, mobilities, the transnational, circulation, centre of calculation, spaces of knowledge, geographies of science, spatial mobility of knowledge, geographies of reading and geographies of the book. More recently, a turn has emerged towards considering the dynamics and necessities of decolonizing the history of geography. This work is turning the field of the history of geography into one of the most dynamic areas of the discipline. Yet we suggest that questions of language and translation have remained under-determined in this new field. Translation and writing have not received the same attention as, for instance, departmental histories, sites of museums, laboratories, botanic gardens, and scientific societies, for example. We suggest, therefore, that new perspectives opened up by translation studies can open new windows on the history of geography.

    Seminar - Epistemology and methodology

    Genealogies of globalisation (2014-2015)

    Séminaire Diversité des langues et poétique de l’histoire #5

    Dans le sillage des thématiques suivantes : le comparatisme littéraire, la traduction et les traductologies, l’idéologème « société de la connaissance » et la relation philologique entre vocabulaire et institution, le cycle 2014-2016 poursuit ce travail de critique comparatiste des pensées du rapport de différence culturelle, en prenant cette fois pour objet les concepts du mondial. Ce sont les situations d’énonciation de ces concepts dans les disciplines et dans les langues qui nous intéresseront, en tant qu’elles sont déterminées dans l’interaction critique avec l’ordre de la Mondialisation : en tant qu’elles dessinent, par là, les contours d’un nouvel état du rapport entre savoir et pouvoir.
