Revolution and Contemporary Forms of Critique
Toward « Revolution 13/13 »
This colloquium will constitute a prolegomenon to the seminar series “Revolution 13/13” that will run at the Columbia Center for Contemporary Critical Thought (and to the reading group that will be organized at the Columbia Global Centers in Paris) during the academic year 2017-2018. The goal will be to begin to engage a multidisciplinary and polyphonic conversation at the intersection of philosophy, of political science and law, of legal history and the social sciences and humanities, on the concept and on the practices of revolution and social change, or more broadly on the different forms that critique and political resistance can take and have taken in the contemporary world.

Memory and the making of knowledge in the Early Modern world
While memory is an established sub-field within these disciplines, its themes and sources have led to an over-representation of the ancient and modern worlds, meaning that the early modern era has been comparatively neglected. The School seeks not merely to redress this imbalance, but also to explore how studies of memory and early modernity might shape one another in the future. Participants in the Summer School, which will take place between 18 and 22 September 2017, will have the opportunity to discuss the most recent research presented by leading scholars in the field, to learn or refine skills in workshops that focus on the media and techniques of memory, and to present their own work to a uniquely qualified and supportive international peer group.

Call for papers - Science studies
Mega-data in the social sciences
The Brexit, Donald Trump’s election, and the alleged interference of Russian hackers mark a turning point in the relationship between the Internet and social science research. The failure of media, analysts and opinion polls to predict the outcome of two crucial democratic consultations is challenging the research methods used since the end of the Second World War. Between the researcher and the data he/she collects there is a space of indeterminacy where suspicion looms. On the one hand, it’s said that we’ve entered the era of electronic democracy: the citizens express themselves freely in the international media. On the other hand, one becomes aware that a certain part of the contents accessible on the Web are actually produced by software; the data would tell us nothing about citizens’ opinions and sentiments.

“Barbarians” in ancient civilizations
The “barbarian” seems to be a widespread notion in the ancient world and beyond. Pre-modern civilizations such as China, the Middle East, Greece, Rome, Islam and Medieval Europe either employ words like barbaros or use different strategies to express “otherness”. It is thus possible to discuss this notion from the perspective of comparative or Kulturtransfer studies. This workshop brings together specialists of different ancient, medieval and modern cultures who will address questions like: “What does “barbarian” mean? Under what circumstances did such a notion arise? What are the implications for the self-definition and ethnic identity of the societies in question?” The discussions will enable a critical approach to existing concepts such as imperialism, colonization, acculturation and cultural transfers.

Call for papers - Epistemology and methodology
Thinking and conducting the transformation of work
The contribution of the ergological approach and the works of Yves Schwartz
The ergological approach intends to the co-production of knowledge with the aim of transforming work and more generally the social life. As stated by the scientific project of the Workshop, “the ergological approach, in its history and in its issues, is a priori a subject of interest for everyone, each exploring in its own way the intricacies of human life, but also anyone who wants to think about its own activity and that of others, to reconsider the ways of doing and taking action, of opening new perspectives in ways of working, acting and living”. Yet this approach, which is particularly needed nowadays, is insufficiently known and sometimes considered complex. This is the state of play at the origin of this international workshop for which this call for papers is published.

The poetic forms of life - performativity, reflexivity, and modernity in Romanticism
Performativité, réflexivité, modernité dans le romantisme
Il existe une tension commune propre aux différentes actualisations du romantisme européen dans les lettres, les arts et la pensée des différents espaces et temporalités où il s’est manifesté : il s’agit de la volonté de transformer radicalement les rapports entre la sphère de la création et ce qui lui est extérieur en poétisant la vie. Le romantisme voit non seulement l’apparition de nouvelles formes, mais il marque la naissance d’une nouvelle ambition pour la forme, qui l’inscrit dans un rapport différent avec ce qui l’excède et la conditionne, ce qui fait ressortir trois enjeux qui s’impliquent réciproquement.

Psychiatry, big data, and the medicine of people
Tandis que la définition même des big data ne trouve pas de consensus, leur usage en santé avance, mobilisant espoirs et fantasmes, tandis que sadénomination elle-même évolue très vite. Un temps médecine personnalisée,médecine des 4P (« prédictive, préventive, personnalisée et participative »), elle est aujourd’hui médecine de précision. De quoi est-il donc question ? Lors de cette journée, nous examinerons certaines des avancées des big data en psychiatrie : les champs de réalisations, les enjeux théoriques etpratiques qu’ils peuvent mobiliser.

Translating images - bypassing language. Arts, literature and philosophy
Dans chaque système philosophique se cache l’impensable qui en même en détermine profondément l’agencement. L’innommable dans le langage, l’infigurable dans l’art et l’impensable en philosophie marquent les foyers de cette résistance et rendent chacune de ces pratiques opaques pour l’autre lui réservant son noyau de singularité. Par le biais de ces rencontres interdisciplinaires, nous entendons explorer cette dimension secrète qui constitue le propre de chaque art et/ou pensée, en croisant différentes tentatives de traduire ce reste inexprimable d’une discipline vers une autre. Que traduit-on, lorsqu’on traduit un poème d’une langue vers une autre ?

“Literary Offenses” and Other Contentious Matter
This one-day conference will address the subject of controversial or polemical texts such as reviews, essays, letters, prefaces and/or postfaces published between 1800 and 1900 in Britain and the United States. It seeks to open fresh approaches to controversies or polemics by focusing on literature and the literary aspects of these questions. Indeed, if controversy can be defined as a debate between two or more parties with different viewpoints before an audience, studies have mainly come from the fields of social sciences and science studies, with some interest in rhetoric and/or argumentation. However, literary controversies are as important as scientific ones for the constitution of the public, democratic debate as it was shaped in Britain and in the U.S. in the nineteenth century. Controversies and polemics contributed to legitimizing some literary genres; they gave publicity to new or avant-garde authors; they redefined the content and contours of the public debate.

Ethics at school - where we're at?
Où en sommes-nous ?
Cet appel à contributions pour un numéro thématique de la Revue internationale du GREE (anciennement Dossiers du GREE) concerne l’éthique à l’école. Est-ce qu'elle s'enseigne ou se pratique ? Est-ce qu'elle s'apprend (par la réflexion critique, par exemple) ou s’impose-t-elle verticalement ? Est-ce qu’elle est esquivée par une vision technicienne de l'éducation ou est-elle affirmée en tant que visée de l’éducation ? Comment la reconnaitre au travers de ses dénominations plurielles : éthique, morale, éducation civique, instruction civique, éducation aux valeurs, etc.

Fiction and enlightenment - children's literature and philosophy (with kids)
Littérature (de jeunesse) et philosophie (avec les enfants)
Les expérimentations de pratiques de la philosophie avec les enfants se développent partout dans le monde depuis une quarantaine d’années, bouleversant les représentations traditionnelles à la fois de la discipline mais aussi de l’enfant. Les collections de « philosophie avec les enfants » se multiplient dans le monde de l’édition. Existe-t-il alors une philosophie mineure, au sens où Kant définissait la minorité ? Comment penser les liens qui unissent l’enfant, la littérature et la philosophie ? Comment la fiction peut-elle servir de médiation pour permettre aux jeunes enfants de mieux comprendre la complexité du monde et les grandes questions qui interrogent la condition humaine ?

Thinking ethics with the humanities - EthicHum
EthicHum
C’est un lieu commun que de souligner les dangers d’une science sans conscience pour ouvrir une réflexion sur la question de l’éthique dans le domaine de la recherche. Les prémices de la science moderne qui prétendait rendre compte d’une connaissance exacte du monde, s’accompagnaient déjà de l’expression d’une nécessaire mesure au savoir, d’un jugement moral sur le bien, le bon et le juste. La nature de cette inquiétude relevait bien sûr du rapport à la foi et à la religion. Force est de constater la prégnance particulière de cette nécessité dans notre monde. Notre espace, que ce soit dans la recherche, dans l’entreprise, dans l’environnement, en politique, semble saturé par la question de l’éthique. Cette saturation révèle, pourtant, une inquiétude bien différente, et signe un ébranlement de la « valeur progrès » et de la perte de confiance dans la raison humaine.

13th International Congress of Aesthetics – Brazil
13th International Congress of Aesthetics – Brazil
The 13th International Congress of Aesthetics – Brazil, entitled “Os fins da arte”, aims to highlight recurring themes in the history of philosophical aesthetics, elaborating the already constant ambiguity in its title, namely: “fins”. The term refers to the millenarian discussion about the uses of art in the past, present, and future. This takes on the important question about the autonomy of art and the regime of its heteronomy that not only asserted itself in its beginnings, but still imposes itself in the form of market demands tending to disfigure the original impetus of important aesthetic manifestations.

Conference, symposium - Early modern
Sedition and revolt in modern european political thought
We wish to bring together international contributors once more in a discussion of the political thought brought about by various uprisings between the end of the Middle Ages and the modern era, whether it be reflections over a particular event, or more general considerations over the causes of sedition and protest movements, the means to prevent or suppress new episodes, and their adverse – or regenerative – effects. This analysis will focus on political writings composed for government use or for a wider audience – memoirs and reports, as well as treatises on the statecraft that proliferated throughout Europe in the modern era and saw wide acceptance. There is a tendency in the current literature to make use of historical examples that are distant in time and place, and a need to consider the possible repercussions of theoretical reflection from experience drawn from recent or contemporary revolts.

Contemporary approaches to the divine attributes
Christian theology raises, always anew, the question of God’s identity. This conference, with its focus on the question of the divine “attributes”, is concerned with this effort. Some attributes, such as omnipotence, have been criticized in recent times. Others, such as God’s love or kindness, are more consensual, but their meaning, often, remains vague or sentimental. Far from attempting to “describe” or, worse even, to “define” God, this conference gathers Christian theologians from various confessions who seek to consider afresh, but also drawing from Scripture as well as from the theological and philosophical tradition, the “qualities” which God may be said to possess.

This conference investigates the complex interconnection between truth, the web, democracy and the contemporary global equilibrium. How have the processes of validation of truth - and the very notion of truth - changed in the era of the multiplication of voices and public discourses, i.e. in the era of the web? How does this bear upon democracy?
