    Savoir - pouvoir - agir

    Congrès de la Société Suisse de Philosophie

    La relation entre « savoir », « pouvoir » et « agir » concerne de nombreux domaines de la vie sociale et de l’existence individuelle, ainsi que diverses disciplines. Pensons, par exemple, aux contextes politique, sanitaire et éducatif : Quels savoirs sont au service du pouvoir ? Quel est le point de rencontre, dans la pratique clinique, entre le « devoir de faire savoir » et le « droit de ne pas vouloir savoir » ? Comment enseigner à « agir » et à « être capable d’agir » ? Dans tous ces domaines, la philosophie peut accompagner une réflexion précise sur le concept de « savoir » sous ses différentes formes (connaissance théorique et connaissance pratique, connaissance universelle et connaissance du particulier, connaissance rationnelle et connaissance sensible), sur le concept de « pouvoir » comme capacité d’agir et de produire des effets ou comme autorité et domination, sur le concept d’« action » dans ses multiples implications, en premier lieu celle de la responsabilité envers soi-même et envers autrui.

    Digital Humanities in the theory and practice of History

    Práticas da História: Journal on Theory, Historiography and Uses of the Past

    It has now been 30 years since the English historian Robert John Morris, in an article entitled “History and Computing: Expansion and Achievements”, talked about a vision of the future “in which no historian could operate without being computer literate”. In 1991, he made an assessment of the past decade stating that “there has been a qualitative and quantitative revolution in the relationship between history and computing.”

    Making the Social World Objective

    Theoretical, Practical, and Visual Forms of Social and Economic Knowledge, 1850-2000

    This conference proposes to return to the manifold strategies and methods for objectifying and visualizing the social that were developed from the second half of the nineteenth century onwards. We will discuss these approaches with a focus on three themes. First, our aim is to analyze the way theoretical and practical sciences met and influenced each other in the case of statistics, empirical observations, working class family budgets among other forms of strategies meant to grasp the social. Second, we will pay close attention to the work of individuals and groups in subordinate positions and at the margins of dominant systems of knowledge production. How did these actors used new approaches in connections with their demands? Our third axis of study concerns statistical imaginaries and visual representations (Musée social, graphical charts, photographs, reliefs and statistical mechanisms).

    Scandalous Feasts and Holy Meals: Food in Medieval and Early Modern Societies

    From medieval Western Europe to the early modern Spanish Americas and Asia, scholarship dealing with foodways and foodstuffs has considerably evolved in the last decades. From the questions of local consumption practices, global flows of commodities to evolving tastes, new studies shed light on the intricate significance of food to early modern societies across the globe. Going beyond the essential character of drinks and foodstuffs for the survival of the human body, food consumption is now also being considered as an economic, social, religious and cultural marker. While the enjoyment of a meal can bring communities together, foodways and foodstuffs are also inherent to strategies of exclusion, resistance and protest. If texts provide precious information, material and visual sources have been increasingly used by historians to inform the study of food-related practices in past societies.

    (Neo)Cybernetic Paths for an Epistemology of Digital Cultures

    “Open Philosophy” Journal

    This volume of Open Philosophy aims to draw a line between the classical cybernetic schools and sub-disciplines on the one hand and their implications in cultural theories and the contemporary positions influenced by them on the other. We want to refer complexity back to its genealogical roots and in this respect critically trace the realisation of operationally closed systems and self-organising processes.

    Jurists and the Medieval State: Varieties and Development of a Symbiotic Relationship, 1000-1500

    4th Workshop on Legal Culture

    This workshop proposes to look at the evolution of the roles that jurists played in government, as the latter developed and became more complex in the period between ca. 1000 and 1500. Historians have long accepted that university trained jurists, both clerical and lay, were instrumental to the development of medieval government. The growth of the administrative apparatus of government and the expansion of its claims of authority and control on society combined with the thickening numbers of law graduates to broaden the scope of the service that jurists provided to rulers. By inviting participants to focus their analysis on a common set of questions (specified below), this workshop will attempt to bring out the stable as well as the dynamic aspects of that service.

    Perspectives on Women’s Autobiographies from Africa and the Diaspora

    This international conference aims to examine the autobiographies of women from Africa (during colonial and post-colonial periods) and the Diaspora to shed light on the meaning and significance of the various messages conveyed through those texts. Although there is an abundance of autobiographical texts by these women, many remain unknown to the general public. From that angle, the conference is positioned as a real prospect to further bring those half- veiled writings to public's attention. As such, the conference intends to bring together scholars, researchers, experts and doctoral students, in human and social sciences, as well as in languages ​​and arts, affiliated to universities, research centers, NGOs and civil societies in Africa and around the world. Their objective is to present and discuss women's autobiographical writings from Africa and the Diaspora from a multidisciplinary perpective.

    Space and the hospital

    Thirteenth International network for the history of hospitals

    The 13th International network for the history of hospitals conference will explore the relationship between space and hospital. Space, in both its physical and conceptual manifestations, has been a part of how hospitals were designed, built, used, and understood within the wider community. By focusing on space, this conference aims to explore this subject through the lens of its architectural, socio-cultural, medical, economic, charitable, ideological, and public conceptualisations.

    Contagion. Knowledge, Practices and Experiences from the Late Middle Ages to the Twenty- First Century

    «Genesis. Journal of the Italian Society of Women Historians», 1/2022

    We encourage proposals for papers based on original research in a long time span (from the Late Middle Ages to the present), on Italian, European and non-Western geo-political contexts. The history of epidemics and pandemics is an ever-growing and broad research field. Therefore, we have chosen to focus our analysis on issues of intersectionality, i.e. on the ways in which disease has historically been represented, treated and experienced through the lens of class, gender and race, so as to shed light on connections and tensions that at times exacerbated these differences. The intersectional dimension of contagion is one aspect of various asymmetries of power. We encourage contributors to approach power dynamics not through the simple binary opposition command/subalternity, but alert to the mediation and circulation occurring within specific contexts. Traditions of knowledge, too, are part of such circulation, which stimulates hybridity and cross- fertilization. This is a crucial aspect of our research agenda.

    The Energy Transition in a Health-Constrained World

    2nd Annual Global Energy Law and Policy Conference

    In early 2020, the world literally shut down when, amidst deep uncertainty, the Covid pandemic spread, cases immediately increased, and mortality rates were out of control in some countries. In such a health-constrained world, all major achievements in the process of completion would have to be put on hold. This situation fully illustrated the profound interconnectedness of the world, from the health system to the energy system. Yet, a year before, the energy sector, which is currently in transition, offered good prospects. Some scenarios envisaged a decline in energy demand from 2040 onwards, although the world economy was likely to continue to grow at an average rate of 3.4 percent per year. In this scenario, the demand for gas, which is currently increasing, was expected to decline around 2030, while the growth of renewable energy was expected to lead to a consequent decline in the share of coal and oil in world consumption. Will such a forecast be confirmed following the disruption caused by Covid-19?

    Aesthetics and critique III

    Thinking in Pandemic Times

    L'initiative de cet atelier de recherche découle de l'urgent besoin de circonscrire et de redéfinir le rôle de l'esthétique, des arts et de leur théorisation aujourd'hui, tant par rapport aux autres formations du savoir que par rapport à nos sociétés contemporaines en général. Quelles sont les fonctions critiques de l'esthétique aujourd'hui ? Comment l'enquête sur les conditions sensibles et incarnées de la connaissance, l'exploration des fondements imaginaires de l'action sociale et politique ou l'engagement avec des œuvres d'art contribuent à renouveler cette tâche ancienne : l'autocritique de la raison sensible ?

    Urban Parish Communities in Medieval Europe, 1049-1545

    Research in Medieval Studies - An International Meeting Series

    We call for research papers that draw upon sociological analyses of secular and ecclesiastical communities, their discourses and the interactions between them— both in terms of cooperation and collaboration, and disputingly and competingly — in order to characterise the parish in its temporal and spiritual dimensions. Proposals may cover longer-term examinations or focus more narrowly on a period and place in Western and Eastern Christianity. Comparative approaches and contextualised micro-history are especially welcome in that they allow for further, wider comparison.

    Environmental Social Governance (ESG): Major Mover Towards Sustainable Energy Future

    5th Annual North American Environment, Energy, & Natural Resources Conference

    Even as the world shut down in 2020 from covid-19, ESG (Environmental Social and Governance) investing and principles accelerated their domination of the operation of and investment in the private sector.  These accelerating trends came despite initial fears that the COVID crisis would slow consideration of ESG.  In fact, ESG investments outperformed the broader market, and ESG related projects can command a premium in investment and lender interest. Historic fossil fuel emitters are not exempt.  In a two month span in early 2021, several large legacy oil companies indicated an intent to become carbon neutral and to accelerate diversification into renewable energies.

    Esoteric currents and medicine (19th-early 20th century)

    The academic annual journal Arcana Naturae invites submissions for its 2022 edition devoted to the relations between esoteric currents and medicine (19th-early 20th century). One objective of the issue is to adopt a bio-bibliographical perspective with a view to developing a comparative and trans-geographical analysis of the condition and outlook of “physician-occultist”. How were “esoteric” beliefs reconciled with medical knowledge? What was the medical and societal reception of such attempts at rapprochement? And did esoteric interests always translate into medical practices? These are examples of issues to which this collective work seeks to provide a response from an academic and historical perspective.
