Un colloque est organisé par le Rachel Carson Center (Munich) autour du thème "Science, space, and the Environment". Il se tiendra les 17 et 18 juillet 2012 à Munich.Although the sciences have provided critical resources in environmental debates, their own role in environmental change has been little studied. This conference will explore how the sciences have affected the physical environment. How have scientific practices and ideas impacted on nature – for example do practices such as voyages of exploration or natural history collecting exploit plants and animals and their environments? Does scientific activity cause pollution, depletion of resources, or other forms of damage to ecosystems? How are such practices to be evaluated, and how are they related to scientific and other ideas of nature and the environment, e.g. notions of conquest, mastery, or interrogation?Les propositions de communication (500 mots) doivent être envoyées à Simon Werret ( werrett@u.washington.edu. ) avant le 31 décembre 2011.L'appel à communication est téléchargeable dans son intégralité ici.
