« Technologies et Ingénieries du politique, 1750-1850 »

Jeudi 20 janvier 2011
Centre Alexandre KOYRÉ

57 rue Cuvier Paris

Organisateurs : Frédéric Graber, Fabien Locher, Dominique Pestre

Le tournant des XVIIIe et XIXe siècles est marqué l’émergence de sociétés « libérales » (Foucault) au sein desquelles le gouvernement des hommes et des choses ne passe plus seulement par l’implémentation de la raison d’État mais par le déploiement de toute une série d’outils destinés à équiper le nouvel ordre politique délibératif, à gérer les opinions publiques, à aménager l’articulation entre la sphère étatique et les composantes de la société civile. Cette journée d’étude se propose d’analyser ce moment-clé de l’histoire des savoirs et des pratiques de gouvernement en faisant porter l’attention sur la grande variété de technologies matérielles et discursives qui furent expérimentées, à cette fin, dans les champs parlementaire, technique, administratif et judiciaire — des champs dont les définitions sont elles-mêmes mises en jeu dans ce processus. Ce sera pour nous l’occasion de revenir sur certains objets classiques de la philosophie et des sciences politiques, mais en les abordant en terme de « technologie » et d’« ingénierie » c’est-à-dire via une analyse historique des arrangements (matériels, discursifs) qui organisent leur fonctionnement.

Forensic Cultures in Interdisciplinary Perspectives

University of Manchester, UK
Friday 11 – Saturday 12 June 2010

This international conference examines in analytical and historical perspective the remarkable prominence of forensic science and medicine in contemporary culture. It brings together leading scholars from history, sociology and socio-legal studies, media and cultural studies, and practitioners working within the diverse locations of forensic culture – from crime scenes and bio-medical laboratories to television studios. Topics for discussion include the politics and practice of DNA evidence, the use of “cold case review” in re-evaluating celebrated murder trials from the past, the historical invention of “crime scene investigation”, the work of forensic identification at mass grave sites, and media forensics –- including a dinner event featuring the creators of the BBC forensic dramas _Waking the Dead_ and _Silent Witness_.

Forensic Cultures is sponsored by the University of Manchester’s Centre for the History of Science, Technology and Medicine (CHSTM), and by the Wellcome Trust.

For further details, including registration information, please see the conference website at

Legal Medicine and Expertise in History

Taking place:

Oxford Brookes University, Oxford, Gipsy Lane Campus, Buckley Building, Room BG10 (where to find us)
4 December 2009 – 10:00 – 17:15

The workshop is designed to facilitate intellectual exchange and debate between academics working on the history of forensic medicine, by bringing together scholars who study the subject in a variety of national contexts and across a broad period of time. It will engage with two central themes: the character and role of forensic medicine in Europe since the medieval period; and the relationship between medicine, the law and wider society as illuminated by the notion of ‘expertise’ (a modern and highly contentious concept which does not map directly on to the pre-modern context).

The aim is to identify fruitful areas of scholarship for future research, by considering how work ongoing in different countries and stimulated by different research agendas and traditions might be brought together into a collaborative network. The meeting is thus intended to serve as a foundation for a funding application to create an international and interdisciplinary research network. It is therefore organized in two parts: five speakers will be followed by a 2-hour round-table discussion which will appraise the state of the subject and outline the rationale for the planned grant application.

Experts, Authority and Law: conference at the University of Hull, 14-15 Sept. 2009

This interdisciplinary conference will examine the authority of experts, the authority of law, and the relations between them.

http://www.law.hull.ac.uk/newsevents/events/09conference.html

The general aim of the conference is to explore the bearing of contemporary developments in the area of social epistemology on the study of the institution of law. More specifically we are interested in exploring the interrelations between epistemic and practical authority with special reference to the authority of law. The conference will address both theoretical and applied issues.

The History of Medicine and Global Connections: The Problem of Public Health Experts

In recent years, global history and related subjects such as transnational, world, and connected history have caused a stir. The interest is in part a response to many kinds of public discussions about the global in our lives, but also in part–at least from the perspective of medical historians–because the turn toward social and cultural history tended to concentrate attention on complex relationships in local environments despite the fact that many aspects of medicine and science travel widely. Some kinds of medical and health practices and ideas do indeed remain rooted in particular languages, cultures, and socio-political systems, but medical commodities may be shipped from place to place while various kinds of practices and concepts also move about: ‘Western’ medicine has been globalised, but so has ‘Chinese’ medicine, and much else.
