    Colloque en l'honneur de Laurence Brockliss et Colin Jones

    À l’occasion du vingtième anniversaire de la publication de ce livre et du départ en retraite de Laurence W. Brockliss, des collègues et anciens étudiants ont souhaité organisé un colloque en leur honneur. Ce livre représente un apport majeur à l’histoire de la médecine en intégrant les aspects sociaux, institutionnels et intellectuels pour construire une histoire renouvelée des savoirs à l’époque moderne. Il croise également les approches intellectuelles et culturelles des traditions historiographiques française et britannique et constitue un encouragement pour poursuivre ces échanges intellectuels.

    Rationalité généalogique et statut social au temps des Lumières

    La généalogie est un puissant idiome de hiérarchisation sociale dans l'Europe d'Ancien Régime et garde son efficace bien au delà des transformations sociales portées par l'âge des Lumières. On s'interrogera dès lors sur les transformations qu'a subies, dans l’espace temporel qui va de Fénelon à Kant, cette forme particulière de connaissance qu’est la raison généalogique, ainsi que les usages qu’en faisaient les différents acteurs sociaux.

    Le siècle de la légèreté : émergences d’un paradigme du XVIIIe siècle français

    Au dix-huitième siècle, le concept de légèreté semble envahir tous les domaines des connaissances humaines, de la morale à la physique, des inventions aérostatiques aux créations artistiques. Perpétuant cette image d’un âge léger, depuis le dix-neuvième siècle bourgeois, industrieux mais aussi nostalgique du temps des fêtes galantes, jusqu’à notre époque célébrant la frivolité (et la commercialité) des années de Marie-Antoinette et de Fragonard, le dix-huitième siècle français en sa légèreté n’a jamais cessé de séduire. Ainsi, qu’elle soit l’objet d’une conquête (scientifique, morale, esthétique, etc.) ou de constructions historiques, la légèreté du dix-huitième siècle s’impose comme un paradigme dont il s’agira de soulever les enjeux, dans une perspective critique et historiographique.

    Climat et temps : la science comme culture publique

    Communication scientifique et son histoire – 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.

    Pour une histoire comparative de la régulation des risques industriels, XVIIIe-XIXe siècles

    If comparison between national or regional contexts has been a driving force for the historiography of the « industrial revolution », and if environmental history has been immediately written on a global scale, the evolution of environmental and risk regulation is often studied according to the national, regional or local scales of the institutions producing the regulations. The aim of this workshop is to invite historians to consider how comparison could advance our understanding of the different ways of regulating risk and environment.

    Puericulture, Biotypology and "Latin" Eugenics in Comparative Context

    This One-day Workshop is organised by the History of Race and Eugenics (HRE) Research Group Oxford Brookes University. The study of eugenics and race is currently undergoing a remarkable transformation - one defined by society's need to engage with scientific advances and the ethical dilemmas they raise on the one hand, and the investigation of hitherto neglected case studies on the other. The inclusion and juxtaposition of national and international histories of race and eugenics lies at the heart of this international collaboration that strives to not only yield original and timely research on these neglected national case studies, but to redefine and diversify the overarching debates on these particularly turbulent periods of modern history.

    Histoire des sciences (2011-2012)

    Cycle de séminaires de la Maison Française d'Oxford

    The aims of this seminar are to help bring together British and French researchers working on the same topics or problematics, and to discuss recent research on environmental history. Therefore, the principle is to invite a French and a British colleague to each seminar, to present their own research and then discuss it.

    New Perspectives on Visuality in the History of Science

    The workshop will feature four sessions dedicated to some of the most important or well developed areas of visual studies of science: 1 “The making and materiality of visual objects”, includes the materials, techniques, tools and practices involved in the making of visual objects and their conservation; 2 “The circulation of images and of visual cultures” for instance among scientific practitioners, printers, engravers, draughtsmen, and different publics, but also across different publications; 3 “The uses and politics of the image” focuses on the intended functions of images e.g. in science popularization or teaching but also on their less intended uses in other realms and by other publics; and 4 "Images as epistemic objects” asks what roles images and visual objects play in scientific epistemology, e.g. as visual evidence.

    Catholic Intellectuals in France in the mid-20th Century

    Following the success of the journée d’étude ‘Engaging with Engagement: French Catholic Thought 1930-50’, held at Magdalen College in May 2010, this conference will continue and extend exploration of different types of French Catholic intellectual engagement during the mid-twentieth century, against the backdrop of the ‘crises’ of civilization of the interwar period through to the war years and beyond. The formation of Catholic identities, in their artistic, philosophical, theological and political manifestations, and the shifting norms and values of political and social commitments in relation to their cultural and theological fault lines, are central to our concerns.
