Iconoclash is when there is an uncertainty about what is committed when an image –from science, religion or art- is being smashed. The paper presents the rationale and the scene of an exhibit taking place in Germany and which aims at turning iconoclasm –and more generally the critical gesture- into a topic rather than a ressource. It contrasts the different pattern of confidence and diffidence into image in the three contrasted realm of science, religion and art.</p> Mon, 12 Sep 2011 12:20:09 +0000 admin 64 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/93 <p><a href="http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/93" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Technology Viualization Théorie de l'acteur réseau <p>Paris se donne si facilement au regard des peintres et des touristes, on l’a si souvent photographiée, on a publié sur la Ville Lumière tellement de beaux livres, qu’on oublie les difficultés des milliers d’ingénieurs, de techniciens, de fonctionnaires, d’habitants et de commerçants, pour la rendre visible. Ce petit livre voudrait, par le texte et par l’image, cheminer à travers la ville en explorant quelques unes des raisons qui empêchent de l’embrasser facilement d’un seul coup d’oeil.</p> Thu, 29 Sep 2011 16:46:05 +0000 admin 93 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/95 Actor-Network-Theory Semiotics & Literature Studies Social Theory Viualization <p>A photographic enquiry into social theory about the city of Paris with special attention to its technical &laquo;oligoptica &raquo;, a concept necessary to replace that of &laquo; panoptica &raquo;.

By resorting to a very original semiotic and constructivist method, it manages to redescribe entirely the practice of deduction in the beginning of Greek geometry. It shows how this practice bears almost no connection with the various theories of abstraction and conviction that have been offered by philosophers from Plato onwards. It offers the first systematic non-formalist description of formalism at its early historical stage.</p> Tue, 04 Oct 2011 13:03:32 +0000 admin 156 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/161 <p><a href="http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/161" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Epistemology Philosophy Viualization <p>It has become of great interest to inquire into the history of what Whitehead called « bifurcation of nature ». This history is possible provided we connect art history with science history to dig into the reasons why the distinction between primary and secondary qualities has been thought so central since the time of Locke all the way to the present debates around « naturalism ».</p> Tue, 04 Oct 2011 13:47:58 +0000 admin 161 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/167 Modes of Existence Religion Studies Viualization <p>Like other articles (43), (79), this article pursues the comparison between the religious and the scientific regimes of enunciations ; it tries in particular to explore the conditions of felicity of religious talks by distinguishing it from information ‘double click’ and shows that the link between belief and religion is a category mistake ; drawing on some of the iconograpy assembled for Iconoclash, it shows how scientific and religious images differ in the path they establish between successive images.</p> Tue, 04 Oct 2011 14:34:44 +0000 admin 167 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/196 <p><a href="http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/196" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Art History Religion Studies Viualization <p>Starting from the work done in the last fifteen years on the scientific vizualization, the paper connects both with art history -comparing the treatment of mediation in both fields, and from there to theology. The paper argues that it is possible to reopen the science/religion debate if religion is stripped of its belief in belief which has no other ground than a mistaken view of scientific information production. The case study is then deployed of the iconography of the Assomption. The transformation of information is then compared, in a systematic way with that of person transportation.</p> Wed, 05 Oct 2011 16:46:19 +0000 admin 196 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/255 <p><a href="http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/255" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Modes of Existence Semiotics & Literature Studies Sociology of Science Viualization Epistémologie Modes d'existence Visualisation <p>A gauche une grande savane, à droite la lisière abrupte d’une épaisse forêt. On dirait que des paysans ont créé ce partage entre deux mondes, l’un sec et vide, l’autre humide et plein, par la hache et la scie. Pourtant personne n’a jamais cultivé ces terres. Aucun cordeau n’a jamais servi à tracer la lisière qui s’étend sur des centaines de kilomètres. Si la savane sert bien de pâturages aux boeufs d’un latifundiste, elle s’arrête naturellement aux limites de la forêt que ne borne aucune barrière artificielle.</p> Tue, 11 Oct 2011 13:14:08 +0000 admin 255 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/280 Modes of existence Religion Studies Viualization <p>Outline of the religious regime of enunciation through the study of four religious paintings; the comparison between the scientific representation and the religious re-presentation is illustrated through the work of Holbein.</p> Wed, 12 Oct 2011 17:05:07 +0000 admin 280 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/293 <p><a href="http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr/node/293" target="_blank">read more</a></p> Anthropology History of Science Viualization <p>It would be nice to be able to define what is specific to our modem scientific culture. It would be still nicer to find the most economical explanation (which might not be the most economic one) of its origins and special characteristics. To arrive at a parsimonious explanation it is best not to appeal to universal traits of nature.</p> Wed, 12 Oct 2011 18:11:52 +0000 admin 293 at http://cms-brunolatour.sciences-po.fr
