Call for papers - Science studies

The history and structure of gardens hold endless surprises and fascinating connections with other disciplines. Originally created as a natural but immutable place offering protection and shelter, gardens have evolved from the hortus conclusus to a place of fantastic architecture, celebrations and wonder. Despite the aesthetic development that was added to the symbolic one of the medieval tradition, the garden never completely lost its medicinal and practical function, featuring areas dedicated to fruit trees, greenhouses reserved for exotic crops or plants whose medicinal or dyeing properties were well known.

Réactualisation des matériaux et savoir-faire préindustriels

Perspectives historiques

Faced with today's environmental and climatic challenges, architectural production needs to embrace a shift towards frugality, in particular through the use of bio- and geo-sourced materials. In this respect, pre-industrial knowledge and know-how can be particularly inspiring. The aim of this study day is to understand how to design, build and rehabilitate using ancient techniques. The aim is to examine gestures and know-how in relation to so-called traditional building materials. This one-day event will call on researchers to shed scientific light on these essential questions, so as to avoid falling into the irenic trap of a return to our roots, without misrepresenting them or greenwashing them. Adopting a historical perspective could be a way of avoiding this pitfall, contextualizing it and initiating a debate with the practitioners and future practitioners of tomorrow's architecture. This study day is aimed at students, teachers, researchers and anyone interested in learning more about these subjects. The aim is to develop an accurate awareness of materials and know-how.

Interspecies interactions in the (visual) arts (1550-1914). Collaborations, experimentations, oppositions

This symposium proposes to study how artists have not only observed animals and, in some cases, lived alongside them, but have also sometimes attributed agency to them. The idea of an active relationship between the artist and the animal raises fundamental questions about the role of animals in artistic production. The analysis of artistic practices allows for questioning the nature of the bond between humans and other animals, and examining how, in certain works, the animal can be perceived as a protagonist capable of resisting attempts at reification. Rather than being a mere reflection of power relations between humans and animals, artistic creation thus becomes a site of negotiation, even contestation, of these relationships.

Colloque anniversaire en hommage à l’abbé Rousselot

De la création au rayonnement de la phonétique expérimentale

Ce colloque a pour objectif de célébrer le centième anniversaire de la mort de l’abbé Rousselot (1846-1924), le fondateur de la phonétique expérimentale en France. Il nous apparaît en effet essentiel de célébrer cet anniversaire par l’organisation d’un colloque rendant hommage à cette grande figure de la phonétique, car les retombées de ses travaux sont considérables encore à l’heure actuelle. Le colloque sera l’occasion de présenter, à travers les communications de spécialistes du domaine spécialement invités pour l’occasion, les contributions de cet éminent personnage, ses rapports avec ses contemporains, les inventions techniques qu’il a réalisées dans le domaine de la phonétique expérimentale, puis d’évoquer ses successeurs et l’influence de ses travaux aux niveaux national et international, et dans d’autres disciplines jusqu’à aujourd’hui.

Energy transitions and economic thinking in German-speaking territories, 1800-2000

ETRANHET explores how economic ideas on energy have developed in various market-economy contexts around the world, since the first waves of industrialization at the turn of the 19th century. It particularly addresses three key questions: (1) How did past economists (broadly defined) conceive the connection between energy, growth, and development? (2) How did they consider innovation and technological change in energy affairs? (3) How did economic discourse on energy influence policymaking, and vice versa? Areas covered by the project include Continental Europe, the British Isles, North and Latin America, South-East Asia, and some areas under colonial control. This workshop will be an opportunity to look more closely at German-speaking territories within Continental Europe.
