Persistent Spaces

Politics, aesthetics and topography in the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century city

This two-day conference brings together young researchers to explore the city and its ideologies from a fully interdisciplinary perspective. Persistent Spaces combines approaches from various fields in order to create a dialogue between disciplines and methodologies. This conference also seeks to establish a dialogue between the 18^th and the 19^th centuries, in turns highlighting the individual specificities of these two periods, and accounting for the echoes, continuities and breaks between them.

Industrial hazards and accidents (late 17th – late 19th century)

Technological accidents question our industrial society; they are an inherent part of the “risk society” concept that scientists, sociologists, geographers and anthropologists have popularised since the eighties. However, in order to step back and take a longer term view, historicization of the concept is necessary. Although historians have also begun to examine this question, they have focused primarily on the most contemporary period during which spectacular accidents have occurred and have sometimes led to disasters. But industrial (or artisanal or mining) accidents occurred throughout the earlier economic development process in Europe. They went hand in hand with the emergence of the industrial society that they helped to create.

Philippe de la Hire: between architecture and sciences

Philippe de la Hire (1640-1718) fut membre de l'Académie royale des sciences et s'intéressa aux sciences les plus variées (géomètrie, hydraulique, gnomonique, mécanique, astronomie...). Il fut aussi un peintre reconnu, inscrit à l'Académie de Saint-Luc et devint professeur à l'Académie royale d'architecture. Un colloque pluridisciplinaire réunissant historiens des sciences, historiens de l'art et historiens de l'architecture permettra de mieux mesurer l'importance de cet homme aux savoirs multiples tant en étudiant les aspects de sa carrière qu'en le confrontant à ses contemporains.
