Facing History & Ourselves

Cartographie de controverses L'objet du cours Le cours «cartographie des controverses» a pour but d’apprendre aux étudiants à se repérer dans l'univers de plus en plus divers de la recherche scientifique et technique. Il est fondé sur la « cartographie » de sujets qui sont l'objet d'une expertise technique poussée et qui, en même temps, sont devenus des affaires, souvent embrouillées, mêlant les questions juridiques, morales, économiques et sociales, au point que ces affaires, « ces choses publiques », deviennent de plus en plus le cœur de la vie politique. L'apprentissage concerne à la fois les méthodes de la sociologie des sciences et des techniques, l'étude de l'argumentation scientifique, l'analyse des médias ainsi que les nouvelles méthodes de «scientométrie» et de «géographie virtuelle» développées de plus en plus sur internet.

Archive We preserve historical records relating to the RSA's activities and administration and make them available for research. A five-year project, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, other donors and the RSA, provided new storage for the archives and ensured that the majority are catalogued. The catalogue is a guide to the records in the RSA Archive. It does not offer a digital version of the records themselves, with the exception of some visual materials that have been digitally scanned in at a low resolution and are for reference purposes only. A number of images from the Archive can be seen at the RSA's Flickr page. Explore Your Archive campaign The national Explore Your Archive campaign’s aim is to raise awareness of archives, their value to society and their impact. Archive Holdings The archives date from the foundation of the Society in 1754 and provide a wealth of information about its history.

Que faut-il faire pour éviter de se retrouver piégé ? ». Les élèves de 4ᵉ qui sont présents ne connaîtront peut-être jamais pareille situation.

Il y a cinquante ans, le 29 novembre 1974, l’Assemblée nationale adoptait, après de longues heures de débats, la loi autorisant l’interruption volontaire de grossesse (IVG). Ce texte, porté par Simone Veil, alors ministre de la santé, a marqué un tournant décisif dans l’histoire sociale et politique du pays, permettant aux femmes d’exercer un droit fondamental sur leur corps et leur avenir. Depuis ce jour, le recours à l’IVG a connu des évolutions significatives, tant sur le plan législatif que sociétal. Cinq décennies après le vote de cette loi emblématique, l’IVG, ses modalités d’accès ainsi que les mentalités ont profondément changé. Une augmentation récente après une longue stabilité Juste après le vote de la loi Veil, le nombre d’IVG a progressivement diminué grâce à la généralisation de la contraception, avant de se stabiliser au début des années 90.

Spatial History Project But what we understand about the creation of cities is limited to the sources available to us. Many sources (even recent ones) are often incomplete, inaccurate, or not easily adaptable to computational methods, no matter the power of the supercomputer. How can you fully describe a process or movement if all you know is the location of Point A and Point B? In our Geographies of the Holocaust project, we have this challenge in our study of the ghettos in 1944 Budapest (Giordano and Cole 20116).
