Organizers: Stefano Gulizia (Milan); Leonie Hannan (Belfast) This project is sponsored by the association Scientiae, and it is proposed as a special issue at Notes and Records, the journal of the Royal Society in London. The submission of complete papers will be expected in February 2025. We will select contributions according to the following outline. In recent years, the study of early modern experiments highlights the importance of individuality and self-preservation, including the preservation of food and scientific materials (Guerrini 2016; Werrett 2019), in connection with empiricism and the art of thinking; similarly, the imagination’s role, solitude, and emotions in general also gained a wider currency. In themselves, these trends represent a significant enlargement in a research field which, for many years, remained anchored to the socio-literary technologies of witnessing or to the display of courtly culture, and which has known only a belated engagement with the structural

Archives of IT (AIT) is organising its second one-day academic-practitioner forum on Norms for the Digital Age. The forum will run from 10am to 4pm on Tuesday 28 January 2025 with spaces for up to 50 in-person participants and more online. It will be hosted at the Livery Hall of the Worshipful Company of Information Technologists in the historic Smithfield area of the City of London. The Forum’s objectives are to: foster more critical, multidisciplinary perspectives on the history of computers, telecommunications, the internet, and related digital media illuminate how people, policies, initiatives, and other social factors have shaped and are shaping technological developments; and identify a variety of competing perspectives on innovations or other key events in the history of information and communication technologies Call for Papers or Panel Proposals We invite essays and research papers that address the role or impact of norms across a variety of technologies and contexts of use. I

Join us for the 12th edition of our political theory conference on the 29th-30th of August 2024. Keynote speakers are Professor Adrian Blau (KCL) and Dr Ida Danewid (Sussex)! The deadline for abstract submission is the 14th of June 2024 (details below). Power is often considered to be the central concept of politics. Accordingly, scholars have examined power in various contexts with the aim of understanding what power is, how it operates, how it is legitimised, how it is contested, and how it relates to concepts, such as authority, justice, or legitimacy. However, today’s rapidly advancing technological age has prompted a set of new and pressing questions about whether technology is changing the ways in which power operates and/or what it is to ‘have’ power. Likewise, many recent international events have reinforced concerns as to who can exercise power, how (or whether) we can constrain power, and the ways in which power is embedded within our international structures. In light of the

We are soliciting applications for a 3 year PhD scholarship (contrat doctoral) in the philosophy of mathematics and/or linguistics to work on the ANR-funded Mathematical Hygiene (MATHY) project. The MATHY project The goal of the MATHY project is to develop a new area of study at the intersection of linguistics and the philosophy of mathematics : (what we call) mathematical hygiene. The term is based on the expression verbal hygiene, developed by the linguist Deborah Cameron (1995), to refer to the set of normative ideas that language users have about which linguistic practices should be preferred. In a parallel manner, we define mathematical hygiene as "the set of normative discourses regulating mathematical practices" (Arana & Burnett, 2023). The project has three main goals : 1) to document mathematical hygiene phenomena, with a particular focus on the history of mathematics; 2) to compare mathematical hygiene and verbal hygiene phenomena synchronically and diachronical
