Presentation of the colloquium
Troubles in Transitions
This final symposium of IFRIS and LabEx SITES offers an opportunity to observe the evolution of the various research domains that have intersected since its inception. Given that IFRIS has, for 15 years, represented a major hub for research on science and innovation in society, this symposium aims to open the discussion on the future of this research domain.
Social and historical studies of science and technology have occupied a central place from the beginning and have significantly influenced the activities of IFRIS, even though numerous research efforts not necessarily aligned with Science and Technology Studies (STS) have also been present. Thus, we position this symposium midway between an inventory of the research conducted and an observatory of the shifts that have occurred, whether in terms of research objects, methods, or relations to the world.
