    Living Books about History

    Collection d'anthologies numériques

    La collection publie des recherches qui s’inscrivent en priorité dans le domaine des sciences historiques, mais accueille volontiers diverses perspectives issues d’autres champs disciplinaires. Les Living Books peuvent avoir différents objectifs, comme proposer un bilan historiographique d’un courant de recherche, circonscrire les contours d’un nouvel objet d’étude, offrir une introduction à une thématique, illustrer différentes manières d’interpréter un corpus spécifique de sources ou encore analyser les enjeux d’un changement de paradigme.

    Les chrononymes en histoire du droit

    Le présent appel à contributions pour la revue d’histoire du droit Clio@Themis a vocation à questionner la manière dont les juristes et historiens du droit dénoment « leurs » époques et comment ces dénominations peuvent amener avec elles des stéréotypes historiographiqures. Dans une démarche prospective, la réflexion commune peut donner lieu à des propositions sur des catégories temporelles nouvelles. Les articles proposés et retenus donneront lieu à une discussion sous forme d'une journée d’étude à Toulouse, en novembre 2026.

    “Scientiae”: Disciplines of Knowing in the Early Modern World

    Building on Scientiae’s interdisciplinary legacy, and its study of the production and circulation of knowledge, we will underscore the interconnectedness of regions, periods, cultures, and material and intellectual traditions in the period between 1400 and 1800. Although centred around the emergence of modern natural science, Scientiae is intended for scholars working in any area of early-modern intellectual culture. The Scientiae network encompasses the long Renaissance period and seeks to integrate historiographical reflection into an approach that, since its creation, has been firmly rooted in epistemology and the history of science, as well as intellectual history, and the practice of knowledge in dialogue.

    Écrire une histoire des pratiques pédagogiques des philosophes

    Revue Ethique en éducation et en formation, numéro 21

    En croisant la philosophie de l’éducation et l’histoire de la philosophie, et en les mettant au travail sur des pratiques pédagogiques et non sur des concepts, ce projet de dossier souhaite interroger à nouveau les archives et connaissances historiques que nous possédons sur Platon, Aristote, Rousseau, Dewey ou encore Arendt, etc. L’idée centrale est de s’intéresser aux pratiques pédagogiques des philosophes et la façon dont elles ont servis ou desservis, volontairement ou non, des normes politiques, des institutions éducatives ou encore des paradigmes politico-éducatifs

    Archaeology Gone Astray: Forgeries, Misinterpretation, and Other Field Stories

    An UISPP 'History of archaeology' commission conference

    The conference “Archaeology Gone Astray: Forgeries, Misinterpretations, and Other Field Stories” is dedicated to the less glorious—but undeniably fascinating—chapters in the history of archaeology. We’ll delve into everything from notorious forgeries and spectacular blunders to interpretive dead ends and moments of… let’s say, excessive enthusiasm in the field.The event offers a space for reflection, self-reflection, and a bit of humor—because, like any living science, archaeology sometimes takes a wrong turn. Yet, even when it goes astray, it always leads to something interesting.While the main theme centers on the field’s twists, turns, and detours, the program will also feature an open session for participants who wish to present their current research projects.

    Quand histoire et sciences se rencontrent. Quel regard historique porter sur la circulation des savoirs au Moyen âge ?

    Le renouvellement des perspectives de lecture et d’interprétation des savoirs anciens, à travers les textes ou d’autres formes de matériaux et de supports, a permis d’accorder progressivement une pleine légitimité – jadis sous-estimée – à la pratique d’une histoire des sciences. Ce colloque s’inscrit à la suite des recherches qui envisagent une histoire globale des sciences et remettent en cause une lecture eurocentrée, selon laquelle la science aurait pris naissance avec les Grecs et l’activité spéculative, et connu un véritable essor au XVIIe siècle avec l’émergence de la méthode expérimentale

    Le portefeuille sous toutes ses coutures

    Archiver et conserver ses documents de travail (XVIe-XVIIIe siècle)

    Avec l’essor du concept de literacy, la « vie des écrits » a animé les récentes études historiques. Le portefeuille pourrait ajouter à ce renouvellement historiographique un outil utilisé dans tous les secteurs de la société qui renferme des documents permettant de se rapprocher au plus près du quotidien des acteurs. Brouillons, prises de notes de lecture, lettres, imprimés et autres sont des « écrits vivants » offrant la possibilité d’écrire une histoire matérielle, culturelle, sociale et politique. Suite au succès de la journée d’études « Le portefeuille sous toutes ses coutures. Archiver et conserver ses documents de travail (XVIe-XVIIIe siècle) », la publication d’un volume collectif a été décidée. C’est ici le portefeuille comme outil de travail dans la société entière qui est envisagé : le portefeuille d’un ministre, d’un négociant, d’un artiste, d’un artisan, d’un homme de lettres ou encore d’un savant. Des propositions sur ses utilisations au XIXe siècle seront également les bienvenues.

    History and Memory: Epistemological Reinterpretation of Africa's Past in a Post-Colonial Context

    “Práticas da História” journal

    This special issue of Práticas da História is interested in receiving contributions, referring to colonial and post-colonial African contexts. It is important to better understand what is happening in different African countries, at the level of the Academy but also in other spaces where social memory and history confront each other, and how political, ideological, economic and linguistic factors interfere in those situations. In the case of the former Portuguese colonies, which will soon celebrate 50 years of independence, there are additional factors, such as the later end of colonial rule and the delay in historiography about Africa that occurred until recent decades, both in Portugal and in Brazil.

Cette table ronde sera l’occasion de nous interroger sur certains termes utilisés en archéologie et d’évoquer le cadre de ce vocabulaire...

    History of the History of Archaeology: between Archaeologists’ and Historians’ Concerns

    Figures, Trends, and Perspectives (International Union of Prehistoric and Protohistoric Sciences - IUPPS 2023 conference)

    Since several decades, historians and sociologists of science scrutinize the history of science as a practice. References demonstrate, first, the relevance of investigating who are the writers of disciplinary histories and what are the uses of these histories and, second, archaeologists’ concern to this regard. This session organised by the “History of Archaeology” commission is intended to strengthen these studies from the case of archaeology.

    Arts and Sciences, Historicizing Boundaries

    7th International Workshop on Historical Epistemology

    This international workshop on Historical Epistemology is dedicated to exploring new ways of approaching the historical, conceptual, methodological, and technical relations between the arts and the sciences. Rather than looking for logical criteria for demarcating these domains, the workshop aims to question the arts/sciences dyad from the vantage point of its history.

    L’histoire de la cartographie et son écriture à l’épreuve du renouvellement

    Depuis les années 1980, l’histoire de la cartographie a vu ses concepts, ses objets, ses méthodes d’investigation et ses manières d’écrire se transformer profondément. La journée d’étude organisée par la Commission « histoire » du Comité français de cartographie propose de revenir sur les formes et les objets de l’écriture de l’histoire de la cartographie considérée dans un temps long. On insistera surtout sur la période contemporaine, en relation au renouvellement actuel des outils, notamment numériques. La journée se tiendra le vendredi 25 novembre 2022 au centre des colloques du campus Condorcet (Aubervilliers).

    Other Times, Other Spaces

    The conference “Other times, Other Spaces” explores history (time and space) as something in constant transition, something in the making here and now. The world has witnessed wars, pandemics, and natural and man-made disasters. Today, we are more than ever threatened by climate change, depletion of resources, devastating pandemics, and disparities between the rich and the poor, North and South and West and East. The fears of the past are haunting the present, our here and now. Radical transformations are taking place across the world. Human relations are atomized, fragmented, alienated, and yet, paradoxically, consolidated by disasters and calamities such as the current Covid-19 pandemic. As a result, our perceptions of the world and humanity are being rethought and reshaped every day.

    Old excavations, new data: the use of archives in current archaeological research projects

    This session will welcome papers presenting other case-studies of archaeological projects integrating an in-depth use of archive materials. Authors are invited to address issues such as:  the scientific use of archival information: how the data from past research are integrated in the current production of knowledge? The organisation of research projects: who led the projects, and what division of labour between archaeologists, historians or archivists are at stake?  Publication policy: to which audience (scientific, laypeople) and in which journals the results of projects combining new and old archaeological data are addressed?

    History of measuring and calculations in archaeology

    In archaeology, quantitative approaches have a long tradition and belong to the very core of the discipline. However, the history of quantitative archaeological reasoning might be not as straight forward as suggested by the disciplinary history commonlys hared among archaeologists. Taken into account different social interests and traditions we doubt the narrative of linear methodological and technical progress, especially considering to a certain extent alternative developments of quantitative approaches inblocks of countries somewhat separated by language barriers. Different communities assign different roles and functions to quantitative procedures applied in archaeology. This session aims to explore the multitude of factors that determine the development ofquantitative archaeology.

    The Middle Ages of the Social Sciences

    The present issue of the Revue d’histoire des sciences humaines intends to gather inquiries into specific uses of the Middle Ages in twentieth century social sciences. The reference to the Middle Ages may result from a scholarly acquaintance with the medieval world, as well as from tools forged by medieval studies. Alternatively, it may be correlated with intricate cultural mediations, for example through religion or literature. We would like to invite the practitioners of the various disciplines of the SSH (psychoanalysis, sociology, historical anthropology, history, the history of science and knowledge, art history, and philosophy, among others) to contribute to this issue either with a case study, or with a broader methodological or epistemological reflection on their scientific and knowledge practices envisioned from an historical point of view.
