  Web and Philosophy: why and what for?

  PhiloWeb 2012

  The advent of the Web is one of the defining technological events of the twentieth-first century, yet its impact on the fundamental questions of philosophy has not yet been widely explored, much less systematized. We hope to provoke the properly philosophical question of whether there is a consistent new branch or practice of philosophy that can weave these changes to technology and society into a coherent whole and have a real social impact.

  The Connected Past

  People, Networks and Complexity in Archaeology and History

  This conference will provide a platform for pioneering, multidisciplinary collaborative work in the field of network science. It aims to bring together the disparate international community of scholars working to develop network-based approaches and their application to the past and to provide a forum for the discussion of the most recent applications of the techniques, in order to ask what has been successful or unsuccessful, to foster cross-disciplinary collaborations and cooperation, and to stimulate debate about the application of network science within the disciplines of archaeology and history in particular, but also more broadly across the entire field.

  Discourses on the Method in Early Modern England: Towards a Modern Order?

  À la Renaissance, les controverses philosophiques et scientifiques, ainsi que les nombreuses traductions de Platon créent les conditions d’un débat autour de l’idée de méthode, Aristote ayant été l’autorité incontestée en la matière jusque-là. Dès les années 1530, l’interrogation sur la méthode devient centrale, dans le domaine de la rhétorique, puis de la dialectique. Le terme « méthode » est ainsi redéfini tout au long du XVIe siècle et continue à faire l’objet de nombreuses querelles au siècle suivant. Dans un contexte où les disciplines ne sont pas encore distinctes, on recherche une méthode universelle qui offre une interprétation globale et générale du monde, mais la méthode est aussi perçue comme un outil de vulgarisation scientifique.

  Religious Practices and Christianisation of the Late Antique City

  Le colloque a pour objectif de rassembler des historiens, archéologues, historiens des religions, autour du problème de la christianisation de la cité tardo-antique, et plus précisément autour des mutations des pratiques religieuses et de leurs conséquences sur la cité. On a vu dans l’interdiction des cultes païens au profit du christianisme le signe du passage d’une religion civique, extériorisation d’un rituel partagé de facto par tous les citoyens, à une religion communautaire, fondée sur l’adhésion confessionnelle de ses différents membres. Il s’agira dès lors de se demander dans quelle mesure l’abandon progressif des cultes païens, lesquels jouaient depuis toujours un rôle prépondérant dans la construction des identités civiques, au profit de nouvelles pratiques religieuses chrétiennes modifièrent les comportements sociaux, politiques, économiques et culturels.

  Local Politics, Global Impacts

  Steps to a multi-disciplinary analysis of scales

  The University of Chicago and the French Development Agency (AFD) are pleased to announce a conference to be held in Paris on 14th and 15th June 2012. The conference will be devoted to exploring the analysis of the global impacts of local politics and power relations.We call for papers that investigate domestic power relations, how local interest games generate international impacts, through what channels and mechanisms these impacts emerge, how local politics is redefined by global networks and discourses and whether current forms of international cooperation and global governance regimes are well or ill-adapted to these challenges. Along with a short C.V., proposals for contributions to the conference should be sent before 30th January 2012.

  Low-Tech / High-Tech

  We intend in this workshop to reconsider how new technologies flow and circulate around the globe. One cannot ignore the obvious fact that we are seeing the emergence of new technological and industrial centres which accompany the rapid redistribution of economic power around the world; but one should also take into account the fact that technology is – and has always been – flowing and circulating in much more unexpected ways than predicted by the old-fashioned diffusionist models which are still prevalent, even in these times of globalisation. By privileging in this workshop (and in our collective project) a comparative approach between three very different geographical regions – South Asia, the Middle East and Europe – we hope to be able to propose an approach to technological flow, which will be sufficiently global and comparative, for going beyond the specificities of any particular culture or society, and which may really better help us understand the dynamics of technological circulations and the processes by which technologies are reinvented in different locations.
