Operative knowledges of matter, from Renaissance to industrialization
Following the renewal of the history of Technology and of the history of chemistry, this Research Seminar intends to explore operative knowledge in chemistry in connection with several fields including economics, political management, consumption and production processes. It seeks to shed a light, since the Early modern period, on various configurations where experimentation, exploration, transformation of Matter were held, through a wide range of technical devices.

Circulation and Scientific Institutions
The Americas, Western Europe, South Asia (1750s-1914)
While historians should take into account the movements in space that constantly transform sciences, they should not lose sight of the specific locations dedicated to the daily work of scientists. In scientific facilities (museums, laboratories, hospitals, etc.), modern scientists use their research instruments, meet with members of their networks, teach, and interact with various actors from outside of their scientific community. Participants in this symposium will seek how to write the history of this dynamic between circulation and institutions of science.

Museum collections as historical sources
Naturalist knowledge and environmental dynamics
Les collections des musées d’histoire naturelle représentent des sources nouvelles en histoire environnementale comme en histoire des sciences. Elles permettent d'éclairer les pratiques de terrain des scientifiques, de leurs « collaborateurs » et de collecteurs plus anonymes. Mais il est nécessaire de contextualiser les indications livrées par les métadonnées accompagnant les objets des collections à partir des écrits des différents acteurs impliqués dans les collectes d’objets et d’espèces végétales ou animales. Comment ces collections et les écrits associés peuvent-ils servir à reconstituer l’élaboration des savoirs naturalistes et leur évolution du XVIIe au XXe siècle ? Comment peuvent-ils aider à saisir la dynamique des écosystèmes ?

The project Ptolemaeus Arabus et Latinus (PAL) is dedicated to the edition and study of the Arabic and Latin versions of Ptolemy’s astronomical and astrological texts and related material.

Charles Gide association study days
Depuis les conseillers du Prince qui s’intéressaient déjà, au XVIe siècle, aux relations entre une métropole et ses colonies, jusqu’aux spécialistes contemporains des petits territoires dépendants, insulaires ou autre, la question coloniale n’a cessé d’intéresser et de diviser. Certaines des questions débattues sont purement économiques, d’autres se rattachent également à la politique (exclusif, navigation…) ou à la morale (esclavage, réparation des crimes éventuels de la colonisation). Le champ est donc très vaste pour une recension critique des positions en présence et de leur évolution au cours des cinq derniers siècles, qui sont aussi ceux de l’émergence et du développement de l’économie politique. -

Conference, symposium - Science studies
How did individuals' geographical mobility contributed the circutation of knowledge in East Asia (16th-20th centuries)? In China, Korea and Vietnam, the bureaucratic systems dictated a specific mode of mobility of the elites. But the ways in which individual itineraries shaped the circulation of knowledge need to be studied not only for civil servants, but also for various socio-professional groups, such as the scholars privately employed by high officials, craftsmen, medical doctors, traders, Buddhist monks, and emperors themselves. To these groups should be added the actors of the globalisation of knowledge during this period. -
