Axis Interdisciplinary Research in History and Philosophy of Science

Machines and Imagination 2013–2014



The seminar aims at investigating the intersections between the history of machines and different discourses on imagination from the early modern period onwards. The seminar consists of 3-4 one day workshops per year, each on a different topic. Participants in the workshops will give a presentation on a concrete or imaginary machine and they will trace the circulation of this machine in different discourses in a specific time period. Workshop languages are French and English.



Organisation : Pierre Cassou-Nogues (Université Paris 8), Koen Vermeir (CNRS, SPHERE).
