For this session, Catherine Gibson and Déborah Dubald will share their experience and issues encountered with ethnographic lists and museums’ inventories of natural objects in the nineteenth-century. Leaning on some case studies and one very short reading, this month’s session will try to explore the cognitive and social effects of list-making in the sciences. Looking at the wide range of practices of list-making and the conditions of its materialisation, we will try to think of ways to use lists efficiently to build a bigger story.Time &#38; venue:  14 November 2016 at 17:00 – Sala dei Levrieri, Villa Salviati, Via Bolognese 156, 50139 Florence, ItalyThe session will be followed by a dinner at Antica Badia.
