Summer School - Science studies
In the face of the current ecological crisis, how shall we rethink concepts and practices of environment, ecology, difference, and technology to envision and create a more just, sustainable, and diverse planet? The combined histories of colonialism, extraction industries, energy, as well as innovation in design, architecture, literature and technology offer a lens by which to examine how contemporary techno-scientific societies envision planetary futures. Site visits exploring resource extraction, colonialism in urban policy and planning, and speculative architectural design will be accompanied by an analysis of science fiction, science technology, speculative design and ethnography, as well as life and earth sciences.

Conference, symposium - Urban studies
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 18th and the 19th centuries, in turns highlighting the individual specificities of these two periods, and accounting for the echoes, continuities and breaks between them.

Study days - Ethnology, anthropology
Border escorts, translators, mediators. Thinking borders and the world
La frontière a été étudiée, de départ et d'arrivée, des plages africaines d'embarquement de nuit, aux poussières de désert américain. Matière à penser, la frontière a été construite autant qu'écrite. Mais toujours en ligne qui sépare. Pour comprendre la place et l'engagement de chacun dans ce monde, on cherchera à penser la frontière comme lieu, observable, d'un potentiel en suspend, de l'à-venir. Il s'agit de développer une pensée du monde à partir des entre-deux, des marges et de l'incertain, de décrire les personnes qui sont dans des situations de frontière, où se joue la reconnaissance des uns et des autres, d'un point de vue cosmopolitique et non global, qui se ferait au détriment des singularités et des particularités. On parlera alors de la condition cosmopolite observable dans les situations de frontière. Et nous accueillerons les langages autres (d'autres disciplines, d'autres lieux, etc.) qui ont la frontière comme socle ou enjeu.
