Living collections through the prism of the humanities and social sciences
Les « collections vivantes » sont comprises comme des ensembles inventoriés de spécimens en vie, conservés au sein de musées, de muséums ou d’instituts scientifiques. Elles incluent les collections botaniques, zoologiques, ou microbiologiques. À travers une approche anthropologique, historique ou philosophique, le séminaire explorera quelques questions. Comment ont été et sont définies aujourd’hui les collections vivantes ? Par qui et pour qui ? Quelles sont leurs raisons d’être et comment s’articulent-elles à des paradigmes scientifiques ? Quelles valeurs les sous-tendent ? Quelles spécificités leur caractère vivant apporte-t-il en termes de pratique de collecte, de conservation, de recherche, et d’exposition ?

The politics and poetics of museology
40th annual ICOFOM symposium
It has become rather banal to speak of the museum as a place of power. Whether one refers to it as media, as medium, or as device, we must understand that this institution, emblematic of occidental civilization, has always aroused the interests of local political régimes, whatever they may be. The creation of the British Museum and the birth of the Louvre illustrate the many different ways the public has of seeing the links between knowledge and collections. Furthermore the advent of each new political régime (from democracy in America to the Marxist-Leninist system in the Soviet Union, passing by fascist Italy and national-socialist Germany) marks museums with its imprint, as well as its system of communication, preservation and research.

Life between construction and destruction: Forms, rules and norms
Aside from the biological processes to which it is subjected from birth to death, human existence is characterized by the permanent effort all individuals and groups make to influence and control these processes, in order to live together. Whether occurring during a rite of passage or whether part of the interactions of everyday life, this construction invites us to question the various manners forms are made – be them “Life Forms” or “Forms of Life” – by carefully looking at the diversity of processes through which norms and rules become established .

Why living matter is worth its conceptual and synthetic challenge?
The emergence of life on Earth has long been a major field of questioning for humans. Indeed living matter has always appeared highly singular against the background of “inert” matter so as (i) to interrogate its emergence and (ii) to attempt to convey its original features to inanimate objects. In the course of the XXth century, both latter perspectives have started to be interrogated at the cellular level with a continuously increasing content of information about the molecular components of living cells as well as about their interactions and reactivity. Two different perspectives have been adopted, focusing either on the formation of cell components, or on the onset of cell dynamic organization.

Contemporary Cybernetic Performativity in the Life Sciences
This workshop will be devoted to the relations that currently link cybernetics to the life sciences. There is ample evidence of the existence of these links in the historiographical literature, from the inception of cybernetics in Northern America (Heims) as well as in Europe (Pickering). It is not our purpose to dwell on this here, but only to remember that several doctors in medicine and biologists participated in the first meetings of the cyberneticians funded between 1943 and 1951 by the Macy Foundation, a foundation whose work was mainly concerned with the health sciences...

Formes de surveillance en médecine et santé publique
La médecine de surveillance opère par ciblage, prédiction, anticipation et individualisation. Elle concerne la population générale, des groupes spécifiques ou les individus. Elle mobilise les dispositifs traditionnels des politiques sanitaires, mais aussi des technologies comme le séquençage génétique, le ciblage thérapeutique, les biocapteurs, les grandes bases de données, etc.

The question of mental health care for prisoners
L'ouverture à Lyon en 2010 de la première unité d’hospitalisation spécialement aménagée (UHSA) de France s’accompagne d’une couverture médiatique importante. Le dispositif national semble nouveau et pose question : ce lieu de soins psychiatriques pour personnes détenues relève-t-il de l’hôpital ou de la prison ? Comment rester médecin et soignant au service de l'individu au sein d'un dispositif contraignant qui va dans le sens d'une régulation de l'ordre social ? Pour le moins se dessine un conflit des normes, produisant un sujet hybride, mi-patient mi-détenu, et un reste probable : sa souffrance et la parole de sa souffrance.
