Call for papers - Sociology

Jacques Ellul and Violence

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.

Engineers and society in India

From c. 1850 to present times

More than any other, the profession of engineer appears to encapsulate many of the transformations affecting contemporary India today. Engineers symbolise the rise of the so-called middle classes, and the manner in which India has positioned itself as an emerging power in the international labour market, as it has become one of the favourite destinations for major technology firms.

Man and the environment

Seventh history of sciences and technologies book salon

En 2011, le thème mis à l'honneur est « L'homme et l'environnement ». Pour la première fois dans l'histoire de la terre, un être vivant est devenu une des principales forces géologiques planétaires. Certains pensent que nous serions entrés dans « l'ère géologique humaine » : l'Anthropocène. Alors que la catastrophe de Fukushima entraîne une prise de conscience internationale et entérine l’inéluctabilité du changement de civilisation, le prochain salon du livre d’histoire des sciences et techniques se propose d’éclairer les enjeux des liens entre sciences, société et environnement.
