HomeLes mises en scène des sciences et leurs enjeux (XIXe-XXIe siècle)
Published on Thursday, April 23, 2015
Abstract
This interdisciplinary conference focusses on the articulation between science, science policy and science popularization. We study the objects, concrete displays, architectures for showing science, and consider these as materializations, at particular points in time, of specific conceptions of science and its social, cultural, economic or political place in society. Because a number of evolutions or public decisions now take place at European or international levels, it isimportant to consider these questions in a transnational perspective. By adopting a deliberately wide chronological focus, from the1800s to now, the conference seeks to contribute to contemporary debates by helping put into historical perspective the rapid transformation that institutions devoted to research, higher education and science communication are all currently undergoing.
