Sciences and fiction

Cette journée d'étude vise à regrouper des chercheurs travaillant dans différents domaines afin d’enrichir la réflexion et susciter les échanges autour des relations entre deux notions souvent perçues comme (injustement ?) contradictoires : sciences et fiction. En effet, ces deux domaines « sciences » et « fiction » entretiennent en réalité des liens particulièrement étroits puisque l’un a souvent influencé l’autre. Il convient donc par conséquent de réunir les chercheurs en sciences, sciences de la technologie et de la santé (biologie, médecine, informatique, etc.) et sciences humaines et sociales (histoire, littérature, cinéma, télévision, théâtre, langues, sociologie, philosophie, etc.), ainsi que les chercheurs travaillant à la croisée de plusieurs disciplines, afin d’interroger à nouveau l’imbrication de ces deux notions. Dans quelle mesure les sciences ont-elles influencé, et continuent-elles à influencer la fiction et inversement ? Comment définir la science-fiction ?

Broadcasting health and disease

Bodies, markets and television, 1950s-1980s

In the television age, health and the body have been broadcasted in many ways: in short health education films, school television, professional training materials, TV ads, documentaries, reality TV shows and news, as well as stand-alone videos distributed to specific audiences. This three-day conference proposes an exploration of how television formats have influenced and staged bodies, health and healthy practices from local, regional, national and international perspectives, and how these TV programmes spread the conviction that viewers could and should invest in their health and shape their own body.

Tracing mobilities and socio-political activism

19th-20th centuries

This doctoral workshop will explore to what extent the notion of “mobility” in current cultural and social theory (eg. Stephen Greenblatt, John Urry) can be fruitfully applied in historical research. Mobilities can be seen as cross-border movements of persons, objects, texts and ideas.
