« Découper suivant les pointillés » : images manufacturées à manipuler (XVIIIe-XXIe siècles)

Papier et carton léger, matériaux fragiles et omniprésents du quotidien, sont des supports de créativité autour desquels s’articulent une multitude de savoir-faire. Travaillée par tous ces gestes, l’image imprimée quitte le monde des surfaces planes pour affirmer sa matérialité en plusieurs dimensions. Ce colloque s’intéresse aux rapports entre image, papier, et manipulation, aux images de papier produites en série pour être manipulées, construites et enrichies par leurs publics, et aux pratiques amateures s’appuyant sur des images sérielles destinées ou non à de telles pratiques (scrapbooking à partir d’éphémères, coloriage d’estampes, broderie d’images pieuses ou de cartes postales, etc.)

Sociability and the Travelling Letter

Message, Medium, Mobility in Europe and the Colonies in the Long Eighteenth Century (1650-1850)

The long eighteenth century is widely recognisedby scholars as a golden age of letter writing, characterised by the expansion of transnational and transatlantic correspondence networks among the elites. Particularly in Britain, this period witnessed an unprecedented enthusiasm for epistolary exchange, which led to a proliferation of publications—ranging from scholarly productions such as theoretical treatises and letter-writing manuals, to literary works, whether fictional, sentimental, general, or biographical. These developments contributed to a redefinition of epistolary conventions, narrative models, and often gendered representations of letter writing.

Press and heritage - two factors of modernity (18th-19th centuries)

Cette journée d'étude sur la presse et le patrimoine au XVIIIe et au XIXe siècles vise à explorer les rapports complexes entre deux notions contemporaines : loin de s'opposer comme l'imprimerie et l'architecture chez Hugo, elles sont deux émanations de la modernité. Ces deux termes renvoient en fait à deux conceptions de l'histoire et du bien public qui interagissent l'une avec l'autre pour définir de nouveaux cadres culturels du XVIIIe siècle au XIXe siècle. Les propositions attendues peuvent porter aussi bien sur les rapports matériels entre les deux notions (le patrimoine dans la presse, la presse comme patrimoine) que sur les procédures ou les modalités d'écriture communes (l'inventaire, l'enquête).

Historical detective fiction and television

Nicolas Le Floch, an expert during the Enlightenment

Cette journée d’étude, qui réunit chercheurs et professionnels, a pour vocation de mettre en lumière les médiations successives qui construisent cet objet télévisuel complexe et l’inscription de cette série dans l’histoire du genre policier à la télévision.

Climate and Weather: Science as Public Culture

Scientific Communication and its History – III

This conference is the third in a series devoted to historical and contemporary perspectives on the communication of science and technology. Climate and weather provide a particularly rich and challenging case study to complete the conference series. As with other disciplines studied during the previous conferences, the climate sciences are characterised by complexity: in their professional networks; their conceptual models; and the logistics of their large-scale data and computing needs. Yet few modern scientific disciplines attract the same level of public engagement, in both everyday life and passionate debate on the future of the planet. Moreover, their status at the intersection of policy, scientific controversy and the public sphere is not a recent development: the same issues and fault lines ran through meteorology from the 18th-century onwards. Shifting interests within the history of science and the development of environmental history have greatly expanded the field in recent years. The conference will provide an opportunity to reflect on these historiographical developments via a specific focus on the communication of weather and climate from the 18th to the 21st centuries. The conference will address three themes in particular: Commodification of meteorological knowledge, Media, and Historicizing climate history.
