Seminar: Egalitarian Futures
Organizers: Knut Mikjel Rio, UiB, Annelin Eriksen, UiB, Bjørn Enge Bertelsen, Christine M. Jacobsen, UiB
Date et lieu Dec. 9, 2024 – Dec. 11, 2024, CUNP - Maison des sciences de l'homme, 54, boulevard Raspail 75006 Paris
A three-day discussion around the theme of egalitarian futures. We ask, what are the most energetic domains for the imagination of an egalitarian future? We will touch on the following sub-topics:
1. AI and a future transformation of society. There is a prediction that Ai, automation, and robotics will be able to take on a major part of the workload of humans in the future. For the first day of the workshop, we will discuss what a world without human labour will be like in terms of social organization, family life, statehood, and economic relations.
2. A future era of space travel. We ask, how is space imagined as a space of egalitarian life. We will keep this question as open as possible, so to allow for not only the futures of NASA and Elon Musk, but also other alternatives around the globe and how they feed into hopes and desires for a different future ‘out of this world’. To what degree will life in space be able to liberate humans from predicaments of earthly inequalities of gender, race, and class and to what will the alternatives be like?
Doctoral course: The methodology of political theory
Organizers: Jakob Elster, UiO, Robert Huseby, UiO, Cathrine Holst, UiO
Date et lieu – , CUNP - Maison des sciences de l'homme, 54, boulevard Raspail 75006 Paris
The central aim of normative political theory is to reach justified conclusions on what is morally right and wrong in the political sphere. This encompasses both broad questions about how (domestic and international) society should be organized, including the conditions of legitimacy of political institutions, and moral dimensions of more specific political issues, such as questions related to war, or distributions of social and economic goods.
In recent years, there has been an increased interest in the methodological challenges of political theory, including challenges involved in making political theory relevant in practice: What is the relationship between political theory and political practice? How can one decide what political practices are morally right? What is the proper role or feasibility considerations in normative political theory? And of democracy? This course will give an advanced introduction to some of the most important contemporary debates. In particular, the course will cover:
- The use of reflective equilibrium in normative reasoning, and methodological challenges involved in the use of cases and intuitions.
- Ideal and non-ideal theory, and the debates about feasibility in political theory
- The relation between facts and normative principles
- The relation between political theory and empirical analysis
- The relationship between theory and practice
Learning outcome
The students will acquire:
- Knowledge of the main current methodological debates in political theory
- An understanding of the role of different disciplines in normative political arguments and of the methodological challenges raised by this.
- An ability to apply different methods in one’s own research and to see the relevance of methodological debates for this research.
Admission to the course
The course is open for PhD students in philosophy, political science, sociology, law and other related disciplines.
There is no participation fee, and lunches and one or two dinners are provided for registered participants. Travel and accommodation must be covered by the participants.

Obligatory activities:
- Read the assigned literature in advance
- Participate actively in discussions during the course
- In advance of the course, participants will hand in a written draft of the presentation they will give during the course
- Give a presentation during the course. The presentation should discuss a methodological issue in political theory, or methodological questions connected to the student’s thesis; we recommend that the presentation be on the same topic as the essay to be submitted after the course

Seminar: Joachim Trier - Urban Memories
Organizers: Anne Gjelsvik, NTNU, Frédérique Harry, Sorbonne Université, Diane Arnaud, Université Gustave Eiffel, Avmeric Pantet, Turun Yliopisto, Turku, Christian Bank Pedersen, Université de Caen Normandie
Date et lieu – , Université Gustave Eiffel + CUNP - Maison des sciences de l'homme, 54, boulevard Raspail 75006 Paris
Joachim Trier est aujourd’hui l’un des cinéastes les plus acclamés de Norvège, que ce soit par le public étranger ou la critique. Son œuvre principale, composée de la Trilogie d’Oslo et de deux films indépendants, explore les difficultés des générations X et Y et l’expérience de la fragilité de la vie. Joachim Trier appartient à toute une génération de cinéastes nordiques qui portent haut les couleurs du Nord dans le septième art. Son œuvre, à la fois universelle et singulière, s’inscrit dans la double histoire du modernisme (d’Erik Løchen, notamment) et de l’auteurisme français, s’inspirant régulièrement de la littérature et du cinéma français, de Pierre Drieu La Rochelle à Louis Malle. Ces aller-retours entre la Norvège et la France, entre le cinéma et la littérature, réactualisent le traitement des grandes questions de notre époque, de la sexualité à la mélancolie ou aux addictions, dans un canevas de références et d’expérimentations esthétiques qui font de ce réalisateur l’un des plus innovants de sa génération.
Le colloque du 14 et 15 novembre 2024 « Joachim Trier : Urban Memories » est le premier à proposer une analyse approfondie de l’œuvre de ce cinéaste. Il réunit des spécialistes venus du Nord, des États-Unis, d’Europe et de France et a pour vocation de révéler et explorer plus avant l’empreinte particulière de Joachim Trier et de son scénariste, Eskil Vogt.
Le colloque se conclut avec une masterclass avec Eskil Vogt, scénariste attitré de Joachim Trier et réalisateur lui-même : sélectionné à plusieurs reprises aux festivals de Berlin, de Cannes, de Sundance ou de Toronto, à la fois pour son travail de scénariste et de réalisateur, Eskil Vogt nous fera l’honneur d’une conversation avec Anne Gjelsvik, Professeure en Études cinématographiques de l’Université de Trondheim (NTNU), le 15 novembre 2024 à la Fondation Maison des Sciences de l’Homme.

Research seminar: A Hundred Years of The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms
Organizer: Prof. Ingmar Meland, NTNU, Esther Oluffa Pedersen, Roskilde University
Date et lieu Oct. 16, 2023 – Oct. 17, 2023, CUNP/FMSH, 54, boulevard Raspail 75006 Paris
To celebrate the centenary of the publication of Ernst Cassirer’s seminal work, volume one of The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms, Language, a conference is to be held at the Norwegian Research Center in Paris (Le Centre universitaire de Norvège à Paris) on October 16th and 17th 2023. We are reaching out to all the researchers engaged in Cassirer studies in general and specifically in his philosophy of language to contribute at the conference.
In their much-acclaimed book, Wittgenstein’s Vienna, Alan Janik and Stephen Toulmin suggest that we are today in the position to “pursue, further than Wittgenstein himself [in Philosophical investigation] ..., the functional considerations underlying the historical development of our methods and modes of thought, in different fields of life or inquiry. If we do this, indeed, we may well find ourselves seeing in, say, a man like Ernst Cassirer [...] a kind of Mahler of philosophy – that is to say, a writer whose more conservative-looking arguments can perhaps provide as many clues to the way ahead in philosophy as the writings and teachings of Wittgenstein himself” (Wittgenstein’s Vienna, p. 261-62). Since the first edition of Wittgenstein’s Vienna came out in 1973, the interest in Cassirer’s philosophy has been rekindled and revived. Though no one since has seen in Cassirer “a kind of Mahler of Philosophy”, new generations of scholars have taken to Cassirer’s perspective in The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms, and efforts to employ his philosophical perspective and reintegrate it into contemporary philosophical discourse are increasing.
The first volume of The Philosophy of Symbolic Forms focuses on language, and for that reason, we want to start the conference with a session on the topicality of Cassirer’s philosophy of language, i.e., on what he saw as principal clues “towards a phenomenology of the linguistic form”. Next, we want to follow up on the remarks of Janik and Toulmin and invite Cassirer scholars who address aspects of Cassirer’s philosophy from the perspective of the history of ideas or the history of philosophy to “the functional considerations underlying the historical development of our methods and modes of thought, in different fields of life or inquiry”. Lastly, we want to round off the conference with some clues to the way ahead in philosophy, i.e., contributions pertaining to the question of how Cassirer’s philosophy can provide clues to the way ahead in philosophy.
Before and After the Linguistic Turn – Ernst Cassirer’s Philosophy of Language Today.
Perspectives on the historical development of our methods and modes of thought
Clues to the way ahead in philosophy
To join the conference, please, send in an abstract to either Ingmar Meland (ingmar.meland@ntnu.no) or Esther Oluffa Pedersen (estherop@ruc.dk) no later than August 7. 2023 stating which of the three topics of the conference you wish to contribute to.
Research seminar: Speculative cameras and visual technologies
Organizers: Prof. Liv Hausken, UiO, Prof. Asko Lehmuskallio, Tampere University
Date et lieu Oct. 12, 2023 – Oct. 13, 2023, CUNP/FMSH, 54, boulevard Raspail 75006 Paris
The seminar will ask what can we gain by turning our attention away from single photographic images, and rather focus on the assemblages within which they are embedded? This turn towards the camera allows us to ask what kinds of interrelations are to be found between photographic practices and the assemblages of devices, people, rules and forms of imaging that they are embedded in? This turn is intended to question the role of the photographer, as well as the role of a single image in understanding the ranges of expanded photographies within which we are embedded.

Research seminar: The Cost of Politics: Gender Aspects of Political Violence
Organizer: Prof. Ragnhild Louise Muriaas, Universitetet i Bergen
Date et lieu June 19, 2023 – June 20, 2023, CUNP/FMSH, 54, boulevard Raspail 75006 Paris
Across the globe, there has been a substantial increase in gender equality in political life. Women have more than doubled their presence in national parliaments from 1995 (11.3 %) to 2018 (23.4%) (Inter-Parliamentary Union). However, there are indications that women’s political gains may have come at a high cost. Practitioner organizations as well as academics seek to raise awareness about physical attacks, intimidation, and harassment aimed at women politicians. This project aims to better understand how gender shapes the scope, form, and consequences of political violence targeted at politicians, and to develop strategies to reduce the problem.
There is a lack of systematic analyses that compare men’s and women’s experiences. Because of this, we do not yet know if the cost of doing politics is higher (or different) for women than for men, or if violence against women, as relative newcomers to the political sphere, draws increased attention to the cost of politics for all political actors. Violence against political actors has the potential to undermine democratic practices and deny both men and women their civil and political rights to engage in decision-making. If women cannot access, participate in, and influence politics on the same terms as men, then these hurdles require particular attention in order to ensure political equality in political processes. Studies of violence traditionally deal with men’s experiences. If violence deters or limits women’s political participation we must rethink our methods and question conventional knowledge in order to fully understand this.
In this research project, an international research team will provide a comprehensive, multi-method examination of if and how gender shapes political violence targeting politicians in carefully selected countries in two regions (Africa and Europe).

Doctoral course: Theorizing in Social Research
Organizers: Professors Håkon Leiulfsrud and Peter Sohlberg (ISS) in collaboration with Associate Professors Eli Smeplass and Anna Rapp (Dept of Teacher Education- ILU, NTNU), Professor Hilde Bjørkhaug (ISS) and Professor Johs Hjellbrekke (University of Bergen, UiB).
Date et lieu June 12, 2023 – June 15, 2023, CUNP/FMSH, 54, boulevard Raspail 75006 Paris
The narrative of theory in much of social science research tends to retell the tale of major theorists or theories in a static way; treating theories as fixed worldviews and static icons. The aim of the course is an alternative approach where we explore the dynamic and generative potential of the sociological heritage and exemplify how theoretical and conceptual constructions may be actively used in social sciences.
This course includes as major topics:
Theorizing in the intersection between the context of justification and context of discovery in the social sciences.
Conceptual formation as a matter of “constructing the research object” in the social sciences.
Theoretical strategies and their knowledge generating applications in the social sciences.
The course will elaborate on concrete examples of theoretical and conceptual construction-work. The course will provide an opportunity to problematize and elaborate on theoretical and conceptual issues related to the participant’s own research.

Conference: Sentralbanker i krisetider og internasjonal rett
Organizers: UiO, Université Paris I, Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences, Pluricourts
Date et lieu June 5, 2023 – June 6, 2023, Université Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne, Paris
The central bank is the normally the highest monetary authority of a state. In the last decades, central bank policymaking has predominantly operated within a specific framework: central bank independence as the institutional set-up; price stability as the primary target of its monetary policy; interest rates as the operational tools. Traditionally, the choice of monetary policy is often considered to be at the core of states’ sovereignty and therefore traditionally little regulated in international law. It is therefore tempting to assume that international law tendencies do not influence central banks’ evolving policies and legal framework.
However, the challenges that central banks are asked to deal with are increasingly of a global nature. In response to the global financial crisis starting in 2007, even more so under the current global covid-19 pandemic crisis, as well as in response to the ongoing climate crisis, we see that central banks across a vast number of jurisdictions have gained an expanding role in crisis management. Price instability and financial instability – whether influenced by reckless subprime loan practices, hurricanes or global pandemics or climate crisis related events such as hurricanes, or wars – are global in nature and have to be dealt with globally through cooperation.
This conference on central banks and international law will seek to shed light on how international law shapes central bank policies and how central banks shapes international law, including whether central banks are a clear and consistent concept under international law. It will discuss more traditional topics on central banks and sovereign immunity and topics of an increasing relevance such as sanctions against central banks. It will also explore how the expansive role of central banks is influenced by the availability of other viable crisis resolution measures in international law related to in particular the climate crises and sovereignty debt crises.
The conference is a part of the research project Central Banks’ expanded role in financial markets. The project is a collaboration between the faculty of law at the University of Oslo and Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences. The project and the conference benefit from funding from the Finance Market Fund (managed by the Norwegian Research Council). The conference also benefits from generous funding from Centre Universitaire de Norvège à Paris – CUNP.

Annual Conference of the Nordic Society for Aesthetics
Organizer: The Nordic Society for Aesthetics
Date et lieu June 1, 2023 – June 2, 2023, Maison de Norvège, Cité universitaire Internationale de Paris, 7 N Bd Jourdan 75014 Paris
The organizers warmly invite abstract submissions for the 2023 Annual Conference of the Nordic Society for Aesthetics, with the leading topic, “Aesthetics and the body”. Aesthetics is inextricably linked with the body; with the body as sensing and as sensed; with objects as embodied, forming the shape of artworks, gestures and rhythm. As bodies we sense the world, at the same time as our experience is mediated, opening up a field of tension and distance, of the object as ‘the other’, as an opening for the sensuous.
Temporary ecological concerns also upon up reflections concerning the reconfiguration of relationship between the body and the sensitive world. Through his concept of force, Christoph Menke grounds aesthetics in an anthropology of difference, a difference between force and faculty, between human and subject, where aesthetics is defined as a force belonging to the human not the subject. In line with this, genealogical anthropology has become aesthetic anthropology leading behind the subject to man. This opens up reflections on aesthetics in relation to the human as embedded in nature, or aesthetics in relation to the Anthropocene.
The conference is an invitation to consider:
the relation between phenomenology and aesthetics
the relation between aesthetics and cognition
the status of “applied Aesthetics” (Analysis, Interpretation, Criticism, Commentary...) within discussions and reception of artworks and art-phenomena today
methodological questions related to aesthetics as an approach to artworks as ‘the other’ aesthetics as embodiment, performance, rhythm, and time.
the relation between aesthetics and the gendered and situated body
the relation between aesthetics and the political
aesthetics and the Anthropocene
questions related to aesthetics as providing a perspective “from the outside”
the aesthetics of practice

Workshop: Literature as a social resource
Organizers: the research group “’Bildung’ in the Age of Algorithms” and the project “Caregiving and Literature as a Remedium” (NTNU, Norway)
Date et lieu Apr. 25, 2023 – Apr. 26, 2023, CUNP/FMSH, 54, boulevard Raspail 75006 Paris
Literature is often more conceived of as a witness than as a resource in times of crisis, be it aging, illness, injustice, or violent conflicts. While the ability to thematize and describe critical events is a function often assigned to literature, it is much harder, but important, we think, to try to pin-point how these representations become social resources in our lives, societies, and cultures and how they contribute to the finding of personal and collective directions in art, applied ethics or law.
Several fields are involved in this exploration: While memory studies point out the role of literature in the production of memories, identities and shared futures, recent phenomenological approaches of digital genres emphasize the participatory dimension in reading and writing as crucial to the understanding of literature as a collective resource. Contemporary approaches in the fields of ‘literature and medicine’ as well as ‘law and literature’ explore further the social relevance of literary genres and their affordances in the dealing with community life, social tensions, and traumatic events. The French literary scholar Alexandre Gefen speaks of a development in literary studies that could bring us to “renew both our objects of study and our methods of analysis by opening us to a new interdisciplinarity in which literature becomes closer to us by the recognition of its objects as ordinary.” (Gefen 2021).
Considering such traditions and tendencies, the workshop will explore literature’s ability to shape and reshape the social fabric by enabling new orientations and forms of attention. Participants are invited to share their on-going research while keeping in mind the following questions: How does literature, as a specific social resource, shape the way critical issues such as health, injustice, or sense of community can be grasped today in the various scholarly and national traditions we come from? How do we locate our own approaches in the broader field of literary and cultural studies today?

Doctoral course: Radical science in the Anthropocene: Prospects and perils
Organizers: Prof. Bjørn Enge Bertelsen, UiB and Prof. Randi Gressgård, UiB
Date et lieu Apr. 17, 2023 – Apr. 20, 2023, CUNP/FMSH, 54, boulevard Raspail 75006 Paris
Critical social sciences and the humanities have typically framed the relation between science, state and society in a straightforward manner: science provides totalizing, universalizing truth claims that rewrite socio-ecological reality in abstract terms that facilitate dispossession, capital accumulation, and state rule. The role of critique, in this framing, is to demonstrate the partiality of these truth claims, and show that they reflect geo-historically specific interests and power dynamics. Science and critique become oppositional practices, with critique even taking on the character of an 'anti-science', and the veracity of critique often judged by the extent to which analysis questions and contextualizes scientific truth claims.
However, this opposition has become increasingly difficult to sustain with the emergence of the Anthropocene. In this workshop, we seek to problematize the relation between science and critique by exploring, through a variety of cases, how the problematic of the Anthropocene is transforming conditions of both science and critique.
We are particularly, although not exclusively, concerned with the way that the prospects for and perils of radical science are being worked out in the context of growing interest in resilience, posthumanism, new materialism, affects, speculation, indigenous knowledge, ontology (the material entanglements of interactive life), etc. This increased interest, we note, occur in the context of so-called global challenges, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, sustainability, international migration, urban sustainability, and so forth.

Doctoral course: Human Environment Interaction: Adapting, Coping, Marking,
Transforming
Organizer: Dialogues with the Past. The Nordic Graduate School in Archaeology
Date et lieu Mar. 27, 2023 – Mar. 30, 2023, CUNP/FMSH, 54, boulevard Raspail 75006 Paris
The study of human-environment interaction is crucial for dealing with the present day challenges in the age of the «anthropocene» starting with the industrial revolution, such as the expansion of cities, infrastructure, industrial parks and recreation areas. While this expansion meets «the needs» of modern societies, they reduce at the same time important natural and cultural landscapes including arable and forested environments and the coastal zone. Through such activities past remnants of human engagement with the surroundings are uncovered, but often also destroyed. Modern industrial development thus transforms and overlays [past] life worlds of people, plants and animals, while at the same time uncovering the human long-term engagement within the same areas.
This PhD seminar seeks to explore human-environmental interaction in the past in a long-term perspective. It is directed to all PhD-students who do research on natural as well as cultural environments and social space, and their interconnectedness, across time, including both foraging and farming societies – in coast and inland areas. The seminar will deal with the study of environment and/or social space from a variety of perspectives such as environmental archaeology, material culture studies or ethnoarchaeology. The PhD-students will present aspects of their own research in these fields, which then will be discussed in the group, the discussions being chaired by experienced lecturers in the field of (landscape-) archaeology, ethnoarchaeology and environmental archaeology.
The aim is to discuss the notion environment in its broadest sense. This spans from a natural science perspective to a definition of social space/cultural landscape as a world in which people exist, live and move, and which not only consists of animated and non-animated materialities, such as vegetation, fauna and surface/geology, but also of humans and human interaction with the surroundings, as well as their material manifestations.
We want to explore different ways of how people dealt with, coped with and adapted to their surroundings – economically, socially and spiritually, and how we can investigate this. We will touch on a broad range of questions on the possible reciprocities between humans and their surrounding as well as certain requirements that different environments present. Did the engagement with the same areas change over time, depending on specific requirements, socio-cultural relationships, and distinct perceptions, and if yes, how and why did they change, and what were possible triggers? To what extend can this be related to environmental change? In the long durée, can we identify continuities and long-term traditions in the use of the same areas? What types of human involvement with the environment can be disentangled by which methods? In how far is human engagement with the surroundings active or passive, spanning from adaption to (intended?) manipulation and comprehensive transformation? And, how do environmental transformations rebound on humans and in which way do they affect the perception of landscapes and social space?
These questions will also touch on the big issues such as the nature-culture-dichotomy – and address the question if there is a division between culture and nature at all, and, at what stage cultural landscapes emerged. We will address different strategies of human engagement with environments between the poles of exploitation and sustainability and the “dwelling within” in Ingolds sense, and their possible socio-cultural and economic consequences.

Despite the historical uniqueness, and the political, legal and social importance of the Code of the Norwegian Realm of 1274 (N: Landslova, short: 'Code of 1274'), and later legislation, it is virtually unstudied. We aim to produce empirical and comparative knowledge on how politics, law and society changed with the introduction of legislation as an instrument of governance in the High and Late Middle Ages. Legislation, governance and the legal situation for marginal groups was debated in Europe in the High Middle Ages. Legislation was used to expand legal rights, and this changed the character of governance and society, and hence the legal culture. In the Norwegian realm the comprehensive and long lasting legislation of King Magnus VI the Law Mender 1274-1281 had a large potential to cause such political, social and legal change.
In Social governance through legislation, we will investigate not only the legal situation for marginal groups, but how politics, law and society changed with the introduction of legislation as an instrument of governance in the Middle Ages. This will be done by examining the role of law in political rhetoric and dialogue, the structures of governance and appliance of law, and the legal situation for marginal groups in society. The Law played an increasing role as a symbol and foundation for a Norwegian society and kingdom throughout the Middle Ages. Through a legal cultural approach, the different subthemes will be linked together and compared with the situation in the other Nordic countries and Scotland, and in other legal regimes in the Middle Ages.
We also have an ambition to develop the methodology for studying legal historical change by using a legal cultural approach to link law in politics, structures of governance and substantial and procedural law, and to compare change in different legal entities. To this, there will be added an historiographical investigation of the methods applied as a critical correction.

Research seminar: Valuation and critique in the “good economy”
Organizers: Kristin Asdal, UiO, and Liliana Doganova, Université Paris Sciences & Lettres.
Date et lieu Jan. 12, 2023 – Jan. 13, 2023, CUNP/FMSH, 54, boulevard Raspail 75006 Paris
This Valuation Studies theme call proposes to investigate contemporary attempts at perfecting economic practices by bringing together the pursuit of profit with the pursuit of other forms of “good”. We use the term “the good economy” to refer to a wide array of initiatives, discourses and models that aim at entangling the production of economic and social value(s) (Asdal et al., 2021; Doganova & Karnoe, 2015; Nicholls, 2009). They include envisaging markets as the relevant locus for addressing collective concerns and solving public problems (Frankel et al., 2019; Neyland et al., 2019) but also a striking variety of innovations that have proliferated under the motto of “doing well while doing good”: social and clean-tech entrepreneurship, impact investing and purpose-driven organizations, shared value, environmental accounting and the triple bottom line, circular economy, bioeconomy and natural capital.
The good economy raises many interesting questions for valuation studies which the papers in this theme issue are invited to address. What is “the good” in these new economic practices? What are the tools and procedures by which valuations of not only the quantitative, but also the qualitative and normative, happen? In other words, how is “the good” being brought into the economy? How to study such doing well while doing good endeavours while taking into account not only the tools involved, but also the very objects of valuation (Asdal, 2015)? What kind of objects, natures and subjectivities does a good economy produce? And what is the theological nature of an economy that engages with the good and the bad (Schwarzkopf, 2020)?
Of particular interest for this theme issue is the role and registers of critique in the good economy. An earlier Valuation Studies editorial note suggested that “critique and valuation are two angles for considering the same thing” (Doganova et al., 2014). Attention to moments of critique is indeed a distinctive analytical characteristic of two lines of literature that have been foundational for the field of valuation studies: the analysis of controversies and the “de-scription” of technical objects in science and technology studies (Akrich, 1992; Latour, 1988), and the focus on practices of justification that appeal to manifold, and sometimes conflicting, “orders of worth” (Boltanski & Thévenot, 2006). The question we ask here is: how does critique happen in the good economy? How is critique fuelling the good economy, being experimented on or done by new means and capacities?
We invite empirically grounded papers that examine how different sites, procedures and tools of valuation are involved in the good economy and how different registers of critique can be seen to be part of these good economy endeavours. What happens when valuation devices and discourses blend economic value with other forms of value deemed inherently good? Do they run the risk of disarming critique? Is it possible to create a dialogue between studies examining how the economy is opening up to social and environmental issues in a move towards “responsibilization”, and studies examining the “economization” of society and the environment (Çalışkan & Callon, 2009; Shamir, 2008)? Can rendering visible different versions of economization perform critique by other means (Asdal et al., 2021)? How can we extend the critical repertoire of economization beyond “marketization”, “financialization” or “neoliberalization” (e.g., Birch, 2019; Cooper et al., 2016; Berndt, 2015; Chiapello, 2015)? And finally, what happens to valuation studies when it turns to empirical settings in which actors routinely perform its distinctive analytical gesture: bridge the divide between “value” and “values” in the practice of valuation (Dewey, 1939; Helgesson & Muniesa, 2013; Muniesa, 2011; Stark, 2009)?
Expressions of interest shall be submitted in the form of an extended abstract (about 1,000 words) to the editors (Kristin Asdal, Liliana Doganova) by September 15, 2022. Selected authors will then be invited to submit first drafts of full papers for a discussion at a workshop that will be organized in Paris on January 12-13, 2023, and then full papers for peer review by the end of March 2023.

Research seminar and doctoral course: Translational and Narrative Epistemologies
Organizers: Prof. John Ødemark, Universitetet i Oslo and Prof. Mona Baker, Universitetet i Oslo. With the Bodies in Translation Research Project in Collaboration with the Genealogies of Knowledge Research Network.
Date et lieu Nov. 22, 2022 – Nov. 25, 2022, CUNP/FMSH, 54, boulevard Raspail 75006 Paris.
Participants in this workshop are invited to reflect on the growing use of translation and narrative in a range of scholarly domains as tropes and lenses through which scholars in a variety of disciplines have attempted to reflect on their respective objects of enquiry, and on the interrelations between different kinds of knowledge.
Different notions of narrative have long been deployed in a variety of disciplines, from poetics and ethnography to psychology, law, political science and history. The appeal to narrative was fundamental to structuralism, and closely aligned with the attempt to establish a universal, positive human science on the basis of the study of myth and narrative, on the assumption that narratives were cross-culturally translatable. This universalizing trend, however, gradually mutated into what is best understood as part of a broadly ‘interpretive turn’, which has dissociated the humanities in particular from realist paradigms and a traditional preoccupation with establishing ‘objective truths’, in favour of a constructivist, reflective and self-critical understanding of experience, linguistic and otherwise.
The appeal to translation in a growing range of humanistic and scientific disciplines has followed a more complex course, at times in line with the same ‘interpretive turn’ that explains the growing appeal of narrative, and at others directly in conflict with it. Thus, for example, while the turn to translation in the humanities could be seen as an index of contemporary epistemological predicaments and the almost obligatory requirement to cross disciplinary and cultural boundaries, medical translation is of a different nature. Here, so-called knowledge translation refers to a set of research activities that are bound together by the common goal of bridging the gap between science in laboratories and clinical application, harking back to the traditional, restricted understanding of translation as meaning transfer.
Across a range of human sciences, then, translation has emerged as a key theoretical concept that is deployed to deal with epistemic and cultural difference. Medical knowledge translation, in contrast, denotes a scientific and purportedly non-cultural practice that defines the social and cultural as a ‘barrier’ to the transmission of true and valid knowledge. The materializing of ‘translation’ in medicine thus contrasts with the attention accorded by the humanities to epistemic and cultural difference, and to the productivity of texts and translational chains. Translation, moreover, is also a key concept in Actor Network Theory and Science and Technology Studies, which have asserted that the productivity of translation is the very condition for knowledge. By following ‘science in action’, researchers in these fields hope that the material, ideational and practical means by which ‘truths’ move from locally produced experimental phenomena to those that can putatively command universal assent can be identified. While debates about cross-cultural understanding and the (in)commensurability of knowledge claims from different times and places have long been labelled as inquiries into cultural translation, Actor Network Theory has often denounced the concept of ‘culture’ as a Eurocentric instrument of mistranslation. This instrument, according to ANT, reproduces the asymmetrical opposition between the unified logos of science and the notion of a plurality of cultures that offers divergent representations of the universal nature accessed by Western science.
Such diverse expansions of the concept of translation have underscored the fact that translation is never simply a discursive process: it is a complex material and cultural process, even when the objects transported are words. At the same time, these expansions have highlighted the continued influence of realist paradigms on the way translation is understood and practised in some disciplinary contexts. The emergence of translational epistemologies further illustrates how taken for granted values of scientific endeavour – such as objectivity and universality – may be productively “replaced by problematization, agonism, and contradiction in the genealogical method” (Rimke 2010:251), in part by problematizing the concept of translation itself in scientific and scholarly practices, and between different forms of knowledge and epistemic cultures.
The organizers of this workshop seek contributions that engage productively and critically with these related turns to narrative and translation, which are evident across many disciplines, especially in the humanities but also in the field of medicine – as illustrated by the increasing ubiquity of narrative medicine, knowledge translation and translational research activities that attempt to put research-based knowledge into practice (Ødemark and Engebretsen 2022).

Research seminar: Habitable Air: Urban Inequality in the Time of Climate Change
Organizer: Ass. prof. Kerry Chance, Universitetet i Bergen.
Date et lieu Sep. 14, 2022 – Sep. 15, 2022, CUNP/FMSH, 54, boulevard Raspail 75006 Paris.
“Habitable Air” is a project that addresses the under-analyzed relationship between three urgent issues: (1) the rapid growth of urban inequality; (2) the amplification of political divisions in major democracies; and (3) the increasing impact of pollution and global warming. Our project’s primary objective is to examine how the urban poor, living on the margins of a jointly-owned petrochemical company in South Africa, Germany, and the U.S., manage the cultural and corporeal effects of chemical air pollution. Our secondary objective is to analyze how long-standing struggles over industrial toxicity are newly being shaped as climate science becomes increasingly integral to contemporary governance. The project uses qualitative methods – including ethnographic participant observation and the analysis of historical archival documents – at a scale that only quantitative studies of climate change have yet achieved by working within a clear network of scientists, policymakers, workers, and residents in transnational sites. The project makes a theoretical contribution about the complex ways industrial toxicity intersects with global warming by shifting the focus to ordinary citizens, their practices and interactions, as they grapple with an industry that is at the center of their lives and community debates about their own health and that of the planet. By studying networked citizen practices and interactions as key drivers for reordering urban life and politics, as well as in what ways they fail or are effective, we may better be able to dismantle a homogenized view of air pollution across borders to help create more equitable and sustainable cities.
Through major publications, teaching and training, a documentary film, policy briefs, media outreach, public workshops, and an international symposium, the project will produce actionable knowledge to build cooperation between the public, governments, and marginalized communities. The project workshop serves a critical twofold purpose: to enable research exchange, while developing a shared approach to comparative analysis. During the first day, researchers will present a 15-minute talk about their work to-date and their contribution to the project. Members of university communities, in particular the University of Bergen in Norway and the University of Paris in France will be invited, along with affiliates in South Africa, Germany, and the U.S. The second day will be a closed session dedicated to building a shared approach to the project, focusing the following questions: What literatures inform our shared theoretical framework? What methods will each of us use in ethnographic fieldwork? How will we best accomplish comparative analysis in both the field and our written work? The end of the workshop will be dedicated to a strategic discussion of project outputs: publications, policy briefs, and public outreach.
Meeting project: Theorizing in Social Research
Organizers: Professors Håkon Leiulfsrud (NTNU) and Johs Hjellbrekke (Universitetet i Bergen)
Date et lieu Sep. 7, 2022 – Sep. 9, 2022, CUNP/FMSH, 54, boulevard Raspail 75006 Paris.
The narrative of theory in much of social science research tends to retell the tale of major theorists or theories in a static way; treating theories as fixed worldviews and static icons. The aim of the course is an alternative approach where we explore the dynamic and generative potential of the sociological heritage and exemplify how theoretical and conceptual constructions may be actively used in social sciences.

Figures of Chance. Imagining Chance and Contingency in the West.
Le congrès ALEA III marquera la clôture des travaux du Projet de Recherche Collaborative ANR - ALEA , dirigé depuis 2019 par un consortium composé six chercheuses spécialisées en Littérature comparée (P.I. Anne Duprat (CERCLL-UPJV/IUF), Partenaires : Karin Kukkonen (U. Oslo), Anne-Gaëlle Weber (Textes et cultures-U. Artois),Fiona Mc Intosh- Varjabédian (ALITHILA-U-Lille), Alison James (U. Chicago), Divya Dwivedi IIT Dehli), et consacré à la composition d’une histoire culturelle des représentations du hasard en Occident.
Ce projet, lauréat de l’AàP 2019 de l’Agence nationale pour la Recherche a été préparé depuis 2017 par plusieurs collaborations antérieures avec le CUNP (organisation de la journée d’études Improvisation and Design le 16 mars 2018 par K. Kukkonen). Il a débouché sur l’écriture d’un ouvrage collectif [Figures of Chance I et II, 1200 p.] qui sera publié en open access en version anglaise et française (éditions CNRS [2023]), principal livrable du projet ANR ALEA.

Technological innovation in human-computer interfaces, medical breakthroughs in nano- and biotechnology, infrastructural transformations of urban orders, algorithmic government, new technologies to intervene in anthropogenic climate change, all seriously challenge established understandings of the human being and its environment. Mind- blowing questions are now being asked, namely:
What will be the nature of the human being in the future? What are the potentials of new genetics? Of cloning? Can Artificial Intelligence (AI) develop and enhance human qualities? What happens to social relations when we are primarily living in digital, virtual spaces? What social, legal and political status do robots, avatar and digital selves acquire? What is the future of cities when scientists predict radical life-threatening climate disasters, and even their extinction? And, what do the new technologies of surveillance, climate regulations and “greening” policies entail for the institutional frames for human life?
As reflected by these questions and in the age of technoscience, the very idea of what a human being is, has come to be fundamentally challenged: in new human-machine interfaces, in human enhancement technologies, in synthetic biology and genetic engineering, as well as new nature/culture relationships. Active transhumanist movements work for ideological and political backing for investments in science that can bring about a new and potentially enhanced and even immortal human form. The idea of a future where humans live in space are not only the fantasies of California billionaires like Elon Musk, or sci-fi movies, but has become imaginative grounds for social movements, especially in the U.S. and Russia but also across the globe.
One might argue that the notion of futurity – i.e. the horizon and orientation towards a time yet to come - is fundamental for understanding contemporary society. It might be key for an understanding of the larger structural aspects of the major issues and crises of our time. However, futurity, we propose, is also key to how people orient their own lives – in relation to for instance death, kinship, or generational shifts – as well as to their ideas of a failing environment or a less viable society at large. Perhaps paradoxically, the increased interest in technological sciences, apparently giving us direct access to the ‘future’ (e.g. political prognoses, economic models, weather and climate scenarios etc.), has created a blind spot for the social and human sciences in our understanding of what such futurity
represents for the human being. We encourage students to contribute to the course with empirically based, hands-on analyses of technological innovations and futurity at the ground level of people’s lived lives and their relationship to larger economic, political, social, and historical processes.
How should we understand this turn to re-defining the human, re-defining life, and re-defining habitable space and sociality? We welcome students who are open to thinking about such a reconfigured human being – when facing all sorts of societal challenges such as ecological crises, economic uncertainty, deprivation and dispossession, food and energy management, urbanization, as well as rising trends of being placed inside new regimes of digital infrastructures, AI controls, pharmaceutical and medical doctrines, in new labor regimes, monetary regimes, and environmental protocols.

Archives, and their underlying databases and ontologies, are deeply political and value-laden and foster power imbalances. This PhD course explores how ‘traditional’ ontologies and epistemologies hard-bake structural fault lines into the very creation of our knowledge of the past. These issues are more relevant than ever in a heritage context, as practitioners in the field, in the museum sector and within the academy, work to redefine the fundamental value of cultural heritage and represent a wider, more inclusive world in their research narratives. This course also aims to extend debates around the weaknesses and possibilities of the digital and analogue archive by exploring emerging efforts to reconfigure archival practice.

Literary Geographies and Infrastructure 1814-1905. Prof. Knut Ove Eliassen NTNU, Anders Malvik, NTNU
Time and place: Jan. 8, 2020 10:00 AM–Jan. 9, 2020 6:00 PM, 54, Bld Raspail, 75006 Paris, Salle B1-18
The seminar will study relations between literary representations of space/place and the development of historical infrastructures. Participants will present works in progress related to the theme, as well as discuss and revise the research project proposal “Literary Geographies and Infrastructure 1814-1905”.
LitGIS will visually map and critically examine descriptions of geographical space in the National Library’s archive of digitized literature from 1814–1905. Our main objectives are: to build a geographical information system (GIS) that visualizes the year-to-year geographical distribution of place names in the archive on a digital map; to investigate patterns on the map of which countries, regions and places that did and did not receive literary attention throughout the period, and identify sociopolitical biases in literary descriptions of geographical space; to identify, from the macro-scale of the digital map to the micro-scale of single literary descriptions, if and how the rise of 19th century communication infrastructures made an impact on how writers imagined their geographical surroundings; to develop a new didactics of literary history, where pupils explore the digital map for critical knowledge of how 19th century authors imagined their local, regional and global surroundings.
