  Teaching Gender. Theory and society in the classroom

  Now more than ever, gender as an analytical concept is being heavily contested from diverse quarters inside as well as outside academia. The panel discussion addresses key questions of how to teach gender as  critical theory in the light of current societal and political tensions on the one hand and institutional constraints inside the university on the other hand. How can we teach “critique”? What does teaching gender mean in terms of methods and topics? And how can we engage in critical research and teaching while responding to societal expectations as to relevant output and knowledge transfer?

  “Arabic” Mathematics

  This monthly seminar will aim to invite researchers to come and present their work in progress or recently published that address the “Arab mathematics”, understood in a broad sense to be studied not only mathematics itself, but science “mathematized” of the era, such as astronomy, optics and static; Furthermore, we do not restrict themselves to only written in Arabic mathematics, but we can address their writings in other languages extensions, like Latin, Hebrew and Farsi.

  The crisis in the humanities

  أزمة علوم الانسان

  En ce début de XXI^e siècle, le monde vit une crise multidimensionnelle, englobant des problèmes de nature culturelle, économique, politique, sociale et même écologique. Assurément, la pensée moderne a libéré les hommes de l’emprise de la tradition, perçue comme obscurantiste, tout en opérant un changement de paradigme social, politique et économique. La pensée philosophique des Lumières contribue à cette rupture épistémologique en valorisant l’esprit critique et la science moderne. Dès lors, l’esprit technique et la raison critique, aboutissement de la science moderne et du cartésianisme, n’ont pas cessé d’engager la civilisation humaine dans la direction du progrès et le perfectionnement social, politique et économique. Nul n’ignore les avancées civilisatrices qu’a connues l’humanité depuis le déclenchement du mouvement de la modernité que l’Europe a amorcé depuis quelques siècles.

  Seminar Reading Mathematical Texts

  We read original sources and their translations, presented by their translator.
Texts this year will deal on the one hand on cultures of computations and on the other on the relations between mathematical texts and «texts of the practice» in commercial and administrative contexts.
