The 20th century of the future
Thinking, representing, and imagining the future in the 19th century, 7th conference of the Société des études romantiques et dix-neuviémistes
On a souvent remarqué que le XIXe siècle a été le premier à se penser en tant que siècle, et le premier aussi à se désigner par un numéral. Une autre de ses caractéristiques, c’est qu’il ne s’est pas centré autour d’une qualification unique, comme a fini par le faire le siècle des Lumières, mais qu’il a, au contraire, multiplié les appellations censées le caractériser. Nombreuses sont les expressions sous la forme « le siècle de... », insistant sur une de ses déterminations jugées essentielles : le siècle de l’histoire, le siècle des révolutions, le siècle des inventaires (Thibaudet), le siècle des dictionnaires (Larousse), le siècle de l’abstraction (Fortoul), le siècle de la science, le siècle des inventions, le siècle de la vitesse, le siècle positif, le siècle romantique, le siècle de la blague (Goncourt), etc.

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.

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.

Call for papers - Science studies
Appel à contributions pour une journée d’étude organisée le 22 octobre 2010, à l’INHA. Cette journée d’étude s’inscrit dans le programme consacré à la bibliographie du livre d’architecture français (1512-1914) mené par l’INHA depuis 2003. Elle a pour ambition d’approfondir le volet architecture militaire en analysant l’intense activité éditoriale liée à la formation des élèves officiers des écoles militaires du milieu du XVIIIe siècle au début du XXe siècle.
