Social and Human Sciences in the Soviet Union: A laboratory of Modernity in the 20th Century?
This project aims to revisit the history of the social sciences and humanities (SSH) in the Soviet Union, against the simplistic clichés that have long considered them as an exceptional case, cut-off from the history of modernity in the 20th century. The Soviet SSH were thus thought above all as “impeded”, without real autonomy, victims of censorship and violent repression, when it was not the whole discipline (sociology, psychotechnics, paidology, or psychoanalysis, for example) that was condemned. Intellectual innovations originating among Soviet SSH scholars were very often analyzed only as the result of their strategies of evasion, resistance or smuggling in the face of the Soviet power.

Enhancing human in Europe: dream and nightmare of the interwar period
Number of historians and philosophers consider in general that transhumanism and its aim at enhancing the human through applied science and technology have their roots in the inter-war period: Julian Huxley, Jean Coutrot, John B.S. Haldane or John D. Bernal are indeed massively considered as the precursors of such ideas. But are they the sole references to mention when considering the inter-war origins of transhumanism, or are they just the tip of the iceberg of a broader current of thought emerging at that time? Such question immediately raises another one, which requires clarification : can current transhumanism(s) really be linked to the ideas emerging in the inter-war period ? The aim of the workshop will be first to check whether and how the idea of an enhanced human through technology intervention may have circulated in Europe during that time. Secondly, space will be given to look for pertinent criteria for the identification of a « transhumanism » of the inter-war period, by evaluating the nature of the indices which may be studied: mobilizing ideas, currents of thoughts, schools of thoughts, sociotechnical imaginaries, etc. Within these perspectives, the workshop will make possible comparisons between the different European contexts (England, France, Italy, Germany, Russia, etc.), and the several papers will help us to better understand the circulation of ideas, networks and human exchanges which contributed to forge the cradle of transhumanist ideas. Communications will be in French or in English.

Understanding Mediterranean Collections
Comment la constitution des collections a-t-elle accompagné la construction et l’évolution de l’objet scientifique qu’est la Méditerranée ? Comment exploiter des collections constituées selon une logique propre, tout en renouvelant les questionnaires que l’on peut développer à partir d’elles ? Comment documenter l’histoire des collections disparues, dispersées, détruites par les catastrophes ou les conflits ? Peut-on retrouver les réflexes savants issus de la consultation de supports analogiques dans la recherche et l’usage des collections numériques ? Comment constituer, exploiter et transmettre de nouveaux corpus documentaires ? Le propos de cette école d’été est d’aborder de front les problématiques scientifiques et professionnelles, de manière à faciliter le dialogue et la collaboration entre les milieux de la recherche et les milieux de la conservation et de la valorisation patrimoniale.

The cathedral construction site in Europe
The distribution and safeguard of knowledge, know-how and materials from the Middle Ages to the present day
À la suite de l’inclusion des savoir-faire de la Fondation de l’Œuvre Notre-Dame de Strasbourg à l’inventaire national du patrimoine culturel immatériel en France (2017), la recherche de reconnaissance de la sauvegarde des savoirs, compétences techniques et pratiques sociales des ateliers de cathédrales a progressivement fédéré dix-huit ateliers dans cinq pays européens (Allemagne, Autriche, France, Norvège, Suisse). Les contributeurs du colloque étudieront la spécificité du fonctionnement des chantiers et des métiers impliqués dans la construction des cathédrales hier et dans leur restauration aujourd’hui, et mettront en valeur les sources, écrites ou figurées, autorisant la recherche en ces domaines et la façon dont elles ont été exploitées ces toutes dernières décennies ; ils questionneront enfin le phénomène de circulation et d’échanges des savoirs et des compétences que l’on connaît depuis le Moyen Âge autour des chantiers des cathédrales.

The "alienated indigenous" - justice and administrations and psychic otherness in French Africa
Historical perspectives and the stakes today
Dans le contexte colonial français des siècles XIXe et XXe, que se passe-t-il lorsque l’altérité constitutive de l’« indigène » se double d’une différence supplémentaire qui touche à la sphère de la pathologie mentale ? Quelles sont les spécificités du traitement juridico-administratif de la folie ? Que les catégories et les discours de matrice coloniale nous apprennent-ils sur les politiques contemporaines de santé mentale ? Que reste-t-il de l’imaginaire colonial dans les pratiques et dans les discours institutionnels actuels autour de la santé mentale des populations d’origine africaine présentes en France ?

DARIAH Annual Event 2019: Humanities Data
The DARIAH Annual Event 2019 thematizes a catalogue of research questions that arise when we speak of Humanities Data. At the very heart of this topic linger questions around the type and amount of data that humanists collect: what kind of data do we have; where is it; and who owns it? Is our data indeed complex, and if so, what makes it complex? How do definitions and conceptualisations of the term ‘data’ resonate with or, perhaps more accurately, alienate us from our conceptions of our source landscape as art and humanities scholars? And, of course, how will the major European policy initiative to build an Open Science Cloud for research data impact upon our practices and opportunities? The upcoming DARIAH Annual Event 2019 combines forms of encounter developed in prior meetings, such as Working Groups meetings, workshops organised by Working Groups and projects, and a Marketplace to exchange ideas around new research projects and infrastructural solutions with an open conference setting.

Call for papers - Early modern
Truth and falsehood during the Renaissance
Thanks to the coming of an information society and the rise of new media capable of spreading knowledge, our time is often described as a “post-truth” era. Could have any similar ambiguity been present in early modern Europe? Following the political and religious turmoil which marked the Renaissance period, together with the renewal of theorical and technical knowledges, a whole new range of relations between truth and falsehood was established, thus producing a crisis of the current “regimes of truth” which this PhD conference aims to investigate. This two-day long PhD conference aims to encourage new, reflections, debates and to raise new questions about the ever-complex relation of Truth / Falsehood in the Renaissance period, while focusing on their epistemological context.

Tele(visualising) health: TV, public health, its enthusiasts and its publics
Televisions began to appear in the homes of large numbers of the public in Europe and North America after World War II. This coincided with a period in which ideas about the public’s health, the problems that it faced and the solutions that could be offered, were changing. The threat posed by infectious diseases was receding, to be replaced by chronic conditions linked to lifestyle and individual behaviour. Public health professionals were enthusiastic about how this new technology. TV offered a way to reach large numbers of people with public health messages; it symbolised the post war optimism about new directions in public health. But it could also act as a contributory factor to those new public health problems.

Audiovisuals and internet archives: Histories of healthy bodies in the 21st century
The Audiovisuals and internet archives: Histories of healthy bodies in the 21st century spring school invites young researchers to engage in four days of intensive discussion and hands-on activities on the relation between the history of the healthy body, body politics, and the Internet at the turn of the twenty-first century (roughly 1990s-2010). The spring school will take a transnational perspective and focus on developments in Germany, France and Great Britain. In building the historical foundation of the Internet era in the BodyCapital perspective, we will encounter new modes of representations and practices of the body that the Internet favored: webcam uses, first artist creations, reuse of traditional contents (photographs and films), amongst others.

Cultural zones - the construction of the object, history and the sociology of knowledge
INALCO doctoral seminar
Le séminaire s’intéresse à la notion d’aire culturelle dans la dynamique de sa construction en tant qu’objet d’étude ainsi qu’aux enjeux scientifiques, institutionnels, politiques et sociaux dont elle sert de révélateur. Il s’agira donc d’examiner tout aussi bien les fondements épistémologiques de cette notion que le processus de formation des spécialistes en aires culturelles, leur sociologie et l’histoire de leurs pratiques.

Post-truth and infox - where are we heading?
Sommes-nous entrés dans l’ère de la post-vérité et du complotisme ? Le terme post-vérité renvoie à l’acceptation du mensonge et de sa confusion avec le réel dans la vie collective. Le complotisme relève d’un mode de fonctionnement paranoïaque où il s’agit, très différemment, de débusquer la vérité derrière les apparences. Le colloque sera l’occasion de préciser les deux notions et de marquer la spécificité des temps présents. La réflexion portera ainsi sur les sources de la post-vérité et du complotisme : crise de légitimité des élites politiques, médiatiques, intellectuelles ? Rôle de l’internet et des réseaux sociaux ? Mutation générale où se perdent les valeurs universelles et la raison ? Le colloque envisage également les réponses possibles : comment affaiblir les logiques du soupçon, de la dénonciation, du mensonge ? Suffit-il d’en appeler à la raison ? L’évocation d’expériences concrètes pourrait contribuer à alimenter la réflexion.

Servants and domesticity in the Romance language countries in the past and present
Employees or slaves?
Ce colloque international propose de revenir sur une galerie de portraits et de représentations constitués au fil du temps, dans les pays de langues romanes (sans s’interdire une incursion dans d’autres espaces). Les approches s’élargiront aux divers champs disciplinaires (littérature, linguistique, arts plastiques et de la scène, cinéma…) et concernent aussi les domaines de l’histoire culturelle, sociale et politique. Les études pourront mettre en perspective des situations humaines qui, sans restriction de genre (les employés domestiques sont aussi des hommes), peuvent atteindre l’inhumanité la plus extrême alors même que dans les salons bourgeois d’aujourd’hui des cas d’asservissement assimilés à l’esclavage surgissent régulièrement.
