Tourism research. Comparative approaches in China and France
Cette journée d’étude de recherche vise en premier lieu à favoriser les échanges entre chercheurs chinois et chercheurs français concernant leurs approches respectives de la recherche (sciences sociales, sciences de gestion) en tourisme. Il s’inscrit dans les collaborations déjà fructueuses entre les collègues de l’université de Ningbo et les collègues français, en particulier enseignants-chercheurs à l’université d’Angers (UFR ESTHUA « Tourisme et culture »).

Conference, symposium - Representation
The development of art history as a discipline during the 19th century has been variously associated with the politics of national identity, the needs of a growing bourgeois public in search of cultural capital, or of an expanding art market. However, the role of art training, and art practitioners themselves in the shaping of the discipline remains unexamined. Courses in art history had been systematically introduced in the curricula of art and architecture academies since the late 18th century, and spaces of art education count among the first institutional homes of the discipline, well before the establishment of autonomous university chairs. This conference aims to explore the interactions and productive tensions between art practice and art scholarship in the 19th century.

Circulation and Scientific Institutions
The Americas, Western Europe, South Asia (1750s-1914)
While historians should take into account the movements in space that constantly transform sciences, they should not lose sight of the specific locations dedicated to the daily work of scientists. In scientific facilities (museums, laboratories, hospitals, etc.), modern scientists use their research instruments, meet with members of their networks, teach, and interact with various actors from outside of their scientific community. Participants in this symposium will seek how to write the history of this dynamic between circulation and institutions of science.

Scales of the Alimentation: an Asian Perspective
The international conference “Scales of the Alimentation: an Asian Perspective” aims at bringing together the French and international scholars of Asia in order to promote a global approach to Asia and to bring together different research institutions based in Europe, therefore to develop the exchanges between different international scholars of Asian societies and experts related to the themes of the food. Our objective is to deliver in-depth analysis and innovative methods arising from research in social and human sciences. We aim to better understand economic, political, institutional, cultural, technological and organizational dynamics of past and present dietary practices in Asia. In particular, we will focus on how the state of food practices and their knowledge is interwoven with other social and technological developments, that are the legacies of expanding and shrinking empires and the mass industrialization.

Exploring 19th and 20th centuries historiographies of mathematics in the ancient world (2015-2016)
Seminar of the European Research Council Project "Mathematical sciences in the ancient world"
The organization of this seminar marks the beginning of the third and last phase of the SAW project. Our aim is to explore various facets of 19th and 20th century historical research about ancient mathematical sciences, especially those attested to by sources written in Chinese, the languages of the Indian subcontinent and cuneiform script.

This monthly seminar will aim to invite researchers to come and present their work in progress or recently published that address the "Arab mathematics", understood in a broad sense to be studied not only mathematics itself, but science "mathematized" of the era, such as astronomy, optics and static; Furthermore, we do not restrict themselves to only written in Arabic mathematics, but we can address their writings in other languages extensions, like Latin, Hebrew and Farsi. The texts studied will be discussed at sessions of three hours. Emphasis on reading and commenting on sources.

History of Science, History of Text (2011-2016)
In 2015-2016, the seminar "History of Science, History of Text" will keep exploring textual problems related to the ERC Project SAW (“Mathematical Sciences in the Ancient World”) As in previous years, the seminar will address the following issues regarding scientific sources: how textual sources bear witness to the social groups that produced them; how textual sources testify to knowledge; history of compilations; how actors structure their texts and knowledge into parts; how textual sources reflect the material environment in which they were produced In line with the beginning of phase 3 of the project SAW, devoted to facets of the history of the historiography of ancient mathematics, the seminar will pay special attention to the sources attesting to work in the history of mathematics.

Modernizers: Changing science and society in the Middle East and North Africa (1870s-1930s)
Re-constructing a local genealogy of the scientific modernization in North Africa and the Middle East is still a pending task. Research on modern Arab-Islamic scientists, physicians and engineers will help expand the collective memory of modernization in those countries by adding new, often badly-known or forgotten actors to its ranks. Biographies will also help illuminate the intrinsic connection existing between science and society, showing how science has always been a necessary element in plans for national independence, social change and democratic rule. This conference will focus on the biographies of some late 19th-early 20th century scientists from Morocco, Egypt, Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria

Engaging Society in Innovation and Creativity
Perspectives from Social Sciences and Humanities
The trend of change from science and technology policy to science, technology and innovation (STI) policy becomes remarkable in Japan but also in Europe. Policymakers intend to break down the sense of economic and social stagnation by creating innovation driven by science and technology. In order to solve complex social issues, innovation is definitely essential. However, it is also obvious that creating “real” innovation needs some other elements than just the development of hard science and technology. Innovation needs integration of knowledge beyond disciplines. Recently the role of social science and humanities (SSH) in the innovation process is being highlighted and science, technology and innovation policy of many countries now expects SSH to play important role in conceiving, realizing and adjusting the policy.

Global history and social: the issues of a dialogue
Doctoral workshop
Quelles sont les conditions d'écriture d'une histoire globale localisée dans la densité des terrains et des tissus sociaux? Cet atelier doctoral entend aborder les enjeux de la réception d'un courant historiographique venu du monde anglo-saxon par les historiographies européennes au cours des vingt dernières années. Grâce à l'éclairage d'historiens spécialistes de la Méditerranée, de l'Afrique, de l'Amérique et de l'Asie, il s'agit de donner aux participants les clés pour comprendre les débats actuels et des pistes pour renouveler ces approches.

The appropriation of knowledge
Actors, issues, territories, process
Que signifie s’approprier des savoirs ? L’originalité du concept d’appropriation sur lequel nous nous proposons de réfléchir, dans le cadre du nouvel axe « Constructions et usages des savoirs » du CESSMA, est d’être centré sur le point de vue des acteurs, leur visée, leur pouvoir d’initiative et les stratégies qu’ils déploient dans la production et l’usage des savoirs. Comment l’appropriation peut-elle conduire à des formes d’instrumentalisation ou de manipulation de savoirs ? Dans quelle mesure l’appropriation de savoirs ou de savoir-faire participe-t-elle à la construction d’identités ou de rôles sociaux ? En quoi constitue-t-elle une source de pouvoir et de puissance ou peut-elle être considérée comme un processus subversif ? Dans quelle mesure les savoirs ou savoir-faire sont-ils l’objet d’une concurrence entre acteurs pour leur captation et leur exploitation en situation de monopole ?

Conference, symposium - Sociology
Material transfer, transplantation and manufacturing of the living
From bacteria or stem cells through to blood or animal organs, or even unusual parts of the body such as the face, the ambition of this conference is to provide an overview of material transfers that are enacted in the context of research or in the hospital, in order to identify their diversity and socio-technical complexity.
