This new seminar, organized by the Histoire des technosciences en société (HT2S) laboratory at the Conservatoire national des arts et métiers, offers a regular discussion forum for researchers in the humanities and social sciences interested in aeronautics and space. Its aim is to question the development of these activities in their various forms (aerostation, aviation, missiles and launchers, space) and to place them within the history of human societies.
One of the seminar's key challenges is to shed light on current changes in the air and space industries by tracing long-term dynamics and taking into account the diversity of the players involved. Aeronautics and space are therefore seen as activities that concern a wide range of social and professional groups, including those who work in or for these fields (professionals in the aeronautics and space industries, researchers and engineers in public or private laboratories, etc.), as well as users, the public and the general public, especially those living close to where these activities take place. By considering what these activities do, in time and space, to our societies, the seminar aims to contribute to renewing studies on the relationship between sky and space.
Open to all without registration, the seminar focuses on presentations and discussions of recent works.
Each session is designed as a forum for discussion of works in progress or recently published, and as a space for friendly debate on the themes that drive us, with a fifty-minute presentation followed by exchanges introduced by a discussant.
