A 5-day scientific event investigating
"Circulation of Knowledge: Borders, Mediations, Translation"
Destined to international students
Relying on its strong international dimension, EHESS is organizing its first Summer School on Campus Condorcet, which will investigate "Circulation of Knowledge: Borders, Mediations, Translation" from 4 to 8 July 2022, destined to international students.
Registration will be open from 1 February to 15 March 2022.The EHESS Summer School on Campus Condorcet is one of the first international events to be held on this new European research campus in the humanities and social sciences. This EHESS project is managed by a committee composed of scholars working with institutions located on the Campus.
The theme of the 2022 edition: "Circulation of knowledge: borders, mediation, translation"
The Summer School programme will mirror what the School has ceaselessly promoted: critical thinking, inter-disciplinarity and inter-institutionality.
The 2022 Summer School will question the notion of "circulation": decentralisation of knowledge spaces, trajectories of individuals, relocation of objects and texts, appropriation of rhetoric from a distance.
The "hierarchy of places" will also be questioned: some reified uses of the notion of circulation induce to engage a discussion around such approaches that may have led to consider the "locus of knowledge" as merely contingent; from this perspective, is there not a risk of "flattening" the world, of viewing space as a smooth and homogeneous dimension?
The productivity of circulations will also be examined: at what point does the positive emphasis placed on movement reveal itself unwarranted?
Finally, although spatial issues are at the heart of circulation of knowledge, this is by no means exclusive of other dimensions to consider from this angle: circulations in the social sphere, within gender relations, between disciplines, etc.
An interdisciplinary programme
The major themes, such as borders (territorial, disciplinary, institutional, linguistic), mediations and supports (institutions, actors, material supports) or translation (transmission, adaptation, appropriation) will be addressed through the presentation of concrete examples of research outcomes, but also by exploring the Ile-de-France territory.
