Subject: Workshop "Writing the History of Computer Visualizations in the Sciences (1940-1990)"
Dear colleagues,
We're very excited to announce an upcoming two-day event, "Writing the History
of Computer Visualizations in the Sciences: Production, Uses, Circulation
(1940-1990)", taking place on May 2nd and 3rd 2024 at the École des Hautes
Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris (54 boulevard Raspail, 75006 PARIS).
The event aims to bring together historians of science in order to explore the
extent to which the use of computer display technologies for producing, reading,
interacting and sharing visualizations has affected the production of scientific
knowledge. A keynote presentation by Janina Wellmann (MPIWG) will be held on
Thursday, May 2.
This event is organized by the team of the ANR project DESIGNSHS (Design
Graphique, Recherche et Patrimoine des Sciences Sociales. Le laboratoire de
Graphique de Jacques Bertin - ANR-20-CE27-0023), supervised by Charlotte Bigg
(CNRS, EHESS, Centre Alexandre Koyré).
We invite you to join us either in person or online. For the latter option,
please send an email to edgarlejeune@hotmail.fr and to edgar.lejeune@ehess.fr
Below you can find the schedule for the event. Please find attached the complete
program of the event!
Best regards,
Edgar Lejeune (on behalf of the organizing committee)
