History and Philosophy of Physics : The backstages of experiments
Since the 1980s the history and philosophy of science has produced a number of studies about experiments, their aim, styles, intellectual and material components, and multiple disciplinary embedding. Measurement and its instruments have received special attention, as befits the central role they play in any quantitative science. Yet, save for cases in which measurement is the very purpose of experiment or in which it serves to isolate phenomena otherwise lost in noise, measurement processes rarely appear in the publication or in the ulterior discussions of an experiment. The metrological aspects remain in the backstage, for they are believed to be sufficiently shared and codified to elude contestation ; and yet their epistemic, social, and technical functions seem essential. The aim of this year’s seminar is to improve our understanding of these hidden metrological aspects of experiment.

Algebra and Philosophy of Algebra at Modern Age
Séminaire Mathematics at Modern Age
The monthly workshop seminar “Early Modern Mathematics” invites researchers to present their work that deal with mathematics and philosophy of mathematics in the early modern period (1500-1750).The texts studied and the claims displayed by the authors are discussed in three-hours meetings. Questions occur during the talk in order to support discussion. Attention is paid to read and comment primary sources. Meetings of “bibliographical seminar” will be devoted to the discussion of a book with its author.The seminar is held in French and in English and is particularly intended for young scholars : Ph.D. and master students.

Entre le ciel et la terre : savoirs et cosmographie à la Renaissance
Né dans le sillage humaniste, le projet cosmographique a connu son apogée et son déclin en Europe entre le XVIe siècle et la première moitié du XVIIe siècle. Pendant sa courte existence, ce projet a cherché à décrire la totalité et la diversité du monde à partir des cercles de la sphère céleste. Pour ce faire, les cosmographes ont mobilisé différents savoirs, traditions et pratiques. Cette journée d’étude propose d’interroger cette hétérogénéité dans son contexte historique de production à partir de quatre axes thématiques.

The challenges and experiences of Brazilian and French researchers
L’objectif principal de cette table ronde est de créer un espace de discussion et d’échange d’expériences entre brésilien.ne.s qui font des recherches en France et français.e.s qui font des recherches dans l’Amérique Latine, en ouvrant un débat interdisciplinaire qui s’interroge notamment sur la question des frontières. Des frontières géographiques, parce qu’il s'agit de pays et continents différents ; des frontières académiques, en proposant une réflexion sur les obstacles (in)visibles entre les sciences humaines, sociales et exactes (et ainsi entre les différentes disciplines au sein de chaque domaine) et des frontières humaines, en espérant que les expériences interpersonnelles partagées entre les chercheur.e.s les enrichiront individuellement et collectivement.

Powers of the imagination. Historical approaches
La notion d’imagination est aujourd’hui considérée comme un objet d’étude à part entière, après avoir longtemps été discréditée par la recherche scientifique. Néanmoins, dans la littérature moderne et contemporaine, l’imagination est généralement présentée de manière négative, comme une faculté mentale susceptible de provoquer l’erreur, l’illusion ou le péché. Nous voudrions aller à l’encontre de cette conception en étudiant une tradition intellectuelle et pratique alternative et méconnue. Depuis les XIIe-XIIIe siècles jusqu’au début du XIXe siècle, des penseurs et des praticiens appartenant à des diverses disciplines, s’exprimant depuis des positions institutionnelles variées, ont soutenu l’idée que l’imagination possède de grands pouvoirs.

XXVe Journées scientifiques de la Société d’écologie humaine
Avec ou sans bagage, « l’invitation au voyage » des 25èmes journées scientifiques de la SEH à Bordeaux a pour objectif de partir à la découverte de notre environnement naturel, des autres et de nous-même. Dans le contexte général d’une remise en cause des relations entre l’homme et la nature, la légitimité du voyage fait débat au regard des menaces qu’il fait peser sur les biens communs. Différentes voies sont actuellement explorées pour réduire cet impact. La valeur culturelle, humaine et philosophique du voyage est quasi absente du débat. L’écologie humaine, telle que nous la concevons, ne se réduit pas à l’étude des relations entre les populations, l’environnement, les ressources et le développement, elle inclut aussi les aspects psychologiques, spirituels et éthiques. L’écologie humaine, en ouvrant notre regard au quotidien sur les multiples interactions entre l’homme et son environnement, nous promet des voyages infinis.

Early Christianity and the pagan mystery cults in the work of Franz Cumont (1868-1947) and in the history of scholarship
Cumont was a pioneer of the scientific study of the oriental religions. Many of his publications (e.g. The Mysteries of Mithras, 1900) fuelled the early 20th century debates about Christianity’s dependence on the pagan cults through the similarities they suggested between these religious traditions. Cumont expressed his opinion only indirectly and ambiguously, but other scholars have been more explicit in demonstrating or denying such influences.The theme of this international conference, hosted by Franz Cumont’s alma mater Ghent University, is the way Cumont and his contemporaries conceived the relationship of Early Christianity to the pagan mystery cults. We will also include predecessors and more recent scholarship on this topic.

Industrial hazards and accidents (late 17th – late 19th century)
Technological accidents question our industrial society; they are an inherent part of the “risk society” concept that scientists, sociologists, geographers and anthropologists have popularised since the eighties. However, in order to step back and take a longer term view, historicization of the concept is necessary. Although historians have also begun to examine this question, they have focused primarily on the most contemporary period during which spectacular accidents have occurred and have sometimes led to disasters. But industrial (or artisanal or mining) accidents occurred throughout the earlier economic development process in Europe. They went hand in hand with the emergence of the industrial society that they helped to create.

Medical expertise in the 20th and 21st centuries
Medical expertise in the 20th and 21st century / Medizinische Expertise im 20. und 21. Jahrhundert / L'expertise médicale aux XXe et XXIe siècles. Annual conference of the Swiss Society for the History of Medicine and Sciences, September 5 – 7, 2013, Bern, Switzerland. The conference would like to address the issue from various perspectives and ask e.g. the following questions: To which levels of medical knowledge and activity (skill, professional knowledge, experience, relationship with patients) did and does the claim of expertise refer to? Which strategies, rhetorics and kinds of self-fashioning were and are used in order to achieve, retain or reject the status of expertise? Which was and is the relationship between expertise, profession(nalism), institutionalization and specialization? In what respect is there a difference between a physician's claim of expertise and that of other health professionals?
