    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.

    Les utopies scientifiques en Union soviétique

    Fiction, science et pouvoir (1917-1991)

    L’objectif de ce colloque est de comprendre comment les utopies scientifiques, en Union soviétique, ont pu avoir une fonction heuristique, participer de la transformation de l’activité scientifique et reconfigurer les rapports entre science et pouvoir. Le questionnement portera d’abord sur les relations entre fiction et sciences, afin d’explorer comment littérature et cinéma se sont appropriés certains des concepts basés sur les découvertes scientifiques et, inversement, comment les sciences se sont servies des imaginaires proposés par les fictions pour étoffer leurs discours, contester les découvertes ou se lancer dans des expérimentations inédites. Ce double mouvement est médiatisé par le pouvoir. Aussi, on sera attentif à la commande sociale et aux mécanismes de censure à l’œuvre.
