  Seminar - Science studies

  Rencontres d’histoire et de philosophie des sciences

  The seminar Rencontres d’histoire et philosophie des sciences aims to promote a history and philosophy of science in which, in the words of Aldo Mieli (1935), “the unity of scientific thought” is “brought to the forefront, in relation to the multifaceted developments of particular sciences”. In order to do this, it seems imperative to us to involve all those who have an interest in the history and philosophy of science in its most diverse expressions in order to consolidate a community which, to exist, must regain its collegiality.

  The Globalized Human

  Cette édition du colloque annuel du département d’anthropologie de l’UdeM (CADA) invite à réfléchir sur l’humain globalisé, désormais au cœur des analyses en sciences sociales. Les humains, à toutes les échelles et quelles que soient leurs appartenances géographiques ou culturelles, sont profondément touchés par des dynamiques globales de toutes formes; économiques, sociales, identitaires et d’appartenance qui ont des impacts de taille sur les sociétés. Ce colloque souhaite mener des réflexions sur ce phénomène et en relever les impacts et les enjeux actuels. Nous proposons d’explorer ce thème polysémique à travers les perspectives de l’archéologie, de la bioanthropologie, de l’ethnologie et de l’ethnolinguistique. D’autres approches en sociologie, en études féministes, en sciences politiques sont aussi les bienvenues.

  Pandemic Contexts and Pedagogic Continuities Over An Extended Period

  This issue welcomes contributions covering a wide range of analytical levels. For example, on the macro scale, it might be a matter of contributions exploring the functioning of the education system and adaptations (whether potential or already implemented) to improve its resilience. On the meso scale, contributions may concern an intermediate division of the education system, a group of establishments, or one or more establishments of primary, secondary or higher education in the face of the health crisis. And on the micro scale, contributions would depend more on cohort studies carried out throughout the pandemic, and on the analysis of the interactions in the different modes of teaching encountered.

  Thwarting gravity : acrobatics and weightlessness

  This symposium aims to create a dialogue between astronauts, scholars working on zero gravity (weightlessness professionals), and circus artists practicing acrobatics. It is part of the "Gestures and Movements" research axis of the ICiMa chair and more particularly of the “Vécu corporel de l’artiste” project (“The Artist’s Bodily Experience”) carried out with Bernard Andrieu. The symposium is organized on the occasion of the publication of Kitsou Dubois, danser l'apesanteur (2021), a book published jointly by Cnac and Alternatives Théâtrales. As a choreographer and dance researcher, Kitsou Dubois makes a link between zero gravity and circus arts.

  The Boundaries of Water

  Frontière·s. Revue d’archéologie, histoire et histoire de l’art

  By its nature, its cycles and the diversity of its states, watermaterializes different notions of the border. It can representand indicate a limit, a rupture, a separation betweenspaces and human groups. Conversely, it is also a mediumof exchange and contact between communities andacts as a bridge between the terrestrial and spiritual worlds. For this seventh issue, the authors are invited to examine, amongother things: the physical boundaries of water as topographic and hydrographicobstacles, political and territorial boundaries, the social boundaries of water and symbolic boundaries based on the values attached to water.

  Telling, exhibiting and commemorating minority histories in the United States

  U.S. museums and historic sites, and minority narratives

  Critical perspectives have contributed to the development of research on minority histories, which can be approached in two ways: on the one hand from the point of view of the domination that is exercised, on the other hand from the point of view of the experiences of members of the minority. Minority narratives mobilize collective memories and processes of patrimonialization and different mediations of history, notably in the school and medias. We propose to focus on one of their concrete forms, namely museums and heritage sites. Museums are indeed at the focus of political and historiographic issues in the way they articulate, or not, the narrative of minorities and the national narrative.The question of the mediation of history, here approached through the prism of museum institutions and heritage sites, as well as the articulation between past and present, will be our focus.

  Darkness

  Perspective : actualité en histoire de l’art, n° 2023 – 1

  For its 2023 – 1 issue, coordinated with the Indian art historian Kavita Singh, the journal Perspective turns towards darkness as a theme to question our largely habitual and reflexive association of light with knowledge, positivity, clarity, and, on the other hand, of darkness with non-knowledge, negativity, obscurity. It invites reflections on the discipline of art history through the prism of shadows.

  Did you say “authentic”?

  6th International Doctoral Days of “Transitions” (ULiège)

  On the 5th and 6th of May, 2022, the sixth edition of the Research Unit Transitions (Research Department on the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period)’s international Doctoral Days will be held at the University of Liège. Organised in partnership with the Centre d’études supérieures de civilisation médiévale (CESCM) of the University of Poitiers, these days will be structured around the theme of authenticity. The notion of authenticity is by its very nature polysemous and complex to define. The aim of these Doctoral Days is to examine authenticity in its various meanings and according to the various methodological approaches pertaining to different fields of research. The presentations will be oriented according to two distinct, but complementary axes: “The object to the test of time” and “Authenticity, a guarantee of truth?”.

  Crossed views on the construction of river landscapes

  Today's rivers are the result of a complex and continuous metamorphosis in which the human footprint has become major since the industrial revolution. Its recent impact has largely obscured the characteristics of older river landscapes. The aim of this conference is to question, in an interdisciplinary perspective, the sources for studying the dynamics and/or the social, technical, legal and political contexts of fluvial or fluviomaritime spaces, to outline their reconstitution and to model their evolution until the beginning of the 20^th century. Facilities and port spaces, temporalities of construction of fluvial landscapes and causes, modalities and consequences - ecological, hydrological, archaeological - of the transition to new landscape sequences will be questioned.

  What is a flag? Socio-history of political unveiling

  World, 19th-21st centuries

  What is a flag? The question is apparently very banal. Many works are interested in its symbolism. The symposium intends to take a step aside. The flag as an expression, minor, major, of a political unveiling (the flag is considered here as a latent ready-to-use resource), will exclusively hold our attention. The meeting will not only focus on national emblems. The flags of the unions, of the movements of identity claim, the banners of the supporters or those used in apparently folkloric frameworks have their place there as soon as their uses, the gestures and the practices of their actors formally or informally register on a political terrain.

  From improvisation to formal debate

  Revue « Études en didactique des langues » n°39

  Spontaneous speaking and oral interaction between students are necessary in foreign language teaching and learning. One of the key educational issues in teaching, and particularly in pre-vocational learning, is that of expressing oneself well orally, of convincing and persuading through speech, through example, through discourse. This EDL issue aims at considering the various forms of debating within the foreign language acquisition process.
