Tarde/Durkheim Conference @Cambridge
タルド／デュルケム：社会的なものの経路
英文指導を行ってくれているTadさんが教えてくれました。感謝。
知っていればなんとしてでもエントリーしたのに。。。
自分の情報収集力のなさが悲しい。でも、終わる前でよかった。
Bruno Latour(Tarde役)とBruno Karsanti (Durkheim役) がタルド-デュルケムが直接対峙したEHESでの講演の模様を再現するらしい。
参加者やオーガナイザーからして、社会学と人類学とで活躍している人がおおいけど、この間のEconomy and Societyのタルド特集で中心的な役割を果たしてそうだったAndrew BarryやNigel Thriftもくるようだ。
ただし、まだ知らない人も多い。
しかしちょうど帰国予定の日。どうするか。

Tarde/Durkheim Trajectories of the Social (cambridge 14th-15th March 2008)
Tarde/Durkheim: Trajectories of the social aims to bring together major actors in the recent rediscovery of Tarde with participants from a range of disciplines including anthropology, sociology, STS and philosophy who acknowledge a continuing or productively re-imagined debt to Durkheim. Participants will investigate the way these rival 19th century projects for the social sciences were formed and what remains of the ways each thinker proposed to define 'the social' and partition it across one or many 'disciplines'. They will ask what light this century-old debate between the two sociologists might shed on the very different (and yet sometimes uncannily parallel) concerns facing the arts, humanities and social sciences, at the beginning of the 21 st century, such as inter-disciplinarity, the "ontological turn", empiricism, affect and scale.
theme
• How much of Tarde's sociology can be reclaimed for present use, and in what form?
• What remains of the Durkheimian legacy, and what elements of his thought have not been deployed?
• What light can Tarde and Durkheim's divergent definitions of "sociology" throw on
• the promises and dangers of (inter)disciplinarity?
• the use of 'domains' and the treatment of scale in social science?
• What can Tarde and Durkheim respectively tell us about the place of affect in the social?
• How should sociology and anthropology interface with philosophy and with metaphysics?
• What would a Tardean ethnography look like?
• How might we rethink empiricism, explanation and method, beyond self-running social theories?The Debate
