  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.

  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.

  The circulation of linguistic and philological knowledge between Germany and the world, 16th to 20th century

  By all measures, Germany played an overwhelming role in the development of philology and linguistics during the 19th century. This ascendancy rests on the transmission to other national academies of theoretical constructs and views, methods and institutional practices. On the other hand, German philological and linguistic ideas, methods and institutions were not constituted in isolation from the rest of the world : Transfers to the German-speaking world must also be taken into account.
