  Provenance and the study of history

  infoclio.ch conference 2019

  La provenance des collections est devenue une question brûlante pour les musées. Historiennes et historiens aussi interrogent les liens entre les contextes d’origine des objets, leurs conditions d’acquisition et de circulation, et leur valorisation patrimoniale. Pour son édition 2019, le colloque infoclio.ch s’intéresse à l’état des recherches de provenance en Suisse et à leurs répercussions sur les sciences historiques. Le rôle des systèmes d’information numérique sur l’actualité de ces questions sera mis en avant.

  Schalten und walten. Towards Operative Ontologies

  IKKM Biennial Conference 2019

  The conference will conclude the IKKM six-year research program on ‘Operative Ontologies’. A term seeming contradictory at first, it assumes that everything that exists is not simply present or given but has been called into being through media and their operations in the most general sense: The ruling (das Walten) of nature as well as the ruling of the social reside under the command of technology, which as increasingly digitized technology is based on switching operations (das Schalten) — e.g. the achievements of bioengineering or the computational models of planet Earth. When embodied operations establish ontological orders and the difference between the ontic and the ontological thus re-enters the ontic, this demands a radical remodeling of ontology. The IKKM Biennial Conference 2019 therefore investigates the given with regard to the procedures through which it has been made possible, produced, set up, brought into the world and called into being — “switched on” — in the first place.

  Web of knowledge – A look into the past, embracing the future

  The congress aims to bring together researchers and scientists from different backgrounds intersecting with the social sciences revealing the visible and invisible networks. By fostering the exchange of knowledge and experiences in the study of the past, the congress expects to lay the framework for the present day science on which to map the future web of knowledge. This congress intends to meditate on science, and to understand how it is being constructed nowadays. Our focus is to approach questions such as: How do we do/communicate science, immediate science, open access, intellectual property, bioethics, cultural heritage, among others.

  Study days - Epistemology and methodology

  Network projects - interdisciplinarity at issue

  Practices, objects, methods and problems

  La journée d’étude sera l’occasion de développer une réflexion épistémologique et critique sur les échanges méthodologiques au sein du réseau « Usages des patrimoines numérisés ». Ce programme interdisciplinaire associe en effet, depuis trois ans, des chercheurs d’institutions et d’horizons différents, qui travaillent sur des questions communes, mais selon des angles différents. La numérisation permet à ce qui était considéré comme « patrimoine » de prendre sens au pluriel et de dépasser les bornes de la discipline historique et des techniques de conservation.

  Mesmerism in action

  The Société de l'harmonie universelle de Paris (1783-1787)

  Malgré de nombreux travaux sur l’histoire du magnétisme animal, la Société de l’harmonie universelle, fondée en 1783 par Mesmer pour diffuser sa doctrine, est restée jusqu’à aujourd’hui fort peu étudiée. La journée d’études vise à présenter les premiers résultats d’une enquête historique et prosopographique sur cette Société et à réexaminer, à la lumière de cette enquête, l’impact du phénomène mesmérien dans les années précédant la Révolution.
