  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.

  Puissance de l'esprit et imagination au XVIIe siècle

  In this workshop, scholars from different disciplines will work together to study the early modern imagination. In particular, we are interested in the relation between general conceptions of the imagination at the time and more specific and controversial ideas of a creative, active and forceful imagination. This powerful imagination was dependent on ‘spirit’ in its different meanings in the early modern period (human spirit, demons, animal and other spirits, spirit of nature, etc.), resulting in a rich variety of opinions. These ideas of an active imagination and of powerful spirits, in their full complexity and diversity, were transmitted between philosophy, literature, medicine, the sciences, witchcraft, demonology as well as religion, and the workshop aims at unearthing the exchanges between these various fields.
