TOPOI. The Formation and Transformation of Space and Knowledge in Ancient Civilizations

Topoi
Two universities – four independent Berlin research facilities – one project: Topoi brings together diverse disciplines from the humanities and earth sciences in common fundamental and theoretical research on the ancient world.

The Cluster of Excellence pursues the goal of researching the interdependence of space and knowledge in the civilizations of the Ancient Near East, the Mediterranean, and Black Sea region and parts of the Eurasian steppe from the 6th millennium BC to around AD 500. This is to serve the more fundamental purpose of investigating the spaces, spatial systems, and various types of space-related knowledge as intertwined factors in the development of ancient cultural systems.

In Topoi, paradigmatic studies are to investigate the foundations of small-scale structures up to large-scale expansive empires and variously defined and constituted spaces as well. Building on this fundamental research, Topoi will work out a theory of space as a constitutive element in the formation and transformation of cultures and societies of antiquity within an interdisciplinary framework.

Maze Design

We've been working on producing mazes by computer, with input from a human designer. We're interested in two complementary questions with respect to maze design:

Complexity: What makes a maze difficult to solve? The more we consider this question, the more elusive it becomes. It's certainly possible to begin defining mathematical measures of a maze's complexity, but complexity must depend on aspects of human perception as well. For example, the eye can easily become lost in a set of parallel passages. Complexity also depends on how the maze is to be solved. Are you looking down on the maze, solving it by eye? With a pencil? What if you're walking around inside the maze? And of course, complexity isn't necessarily what we want to measure. Ultimately we'd like to generate compelling puzzles, which may or may not have a high degree of complexity.
Aesthetics: How do we construct attractive mazes, particularly mazes that resemble real-world scenes? Here, maze design interacts with problems in non-photorealistic rendering. There are many great projects for producing line drawings from images. Our goal is similar, except that our lines must also contrive to have the geometry of a maze. This additional constraint affects how we think about creating a line drawing in the first place.

Philosophie de la machine

Frédéric VENGEON

Philosophie de la machine
La machine est un élément essentiel de notre monde contemporain qui n’a pas encore été l’objet d’un traitement philosophique autonome et synthétique. Il s’agira de dégager la notion de machine de son interprétation philosophique dominante, qui la conçoit comme un dispositif de transformation de la nature.

Or, avant d’être assignée à une transformation de la nature, la technique met en œuvre la puissance productrice par laquelle l’homme construit son propre monde. La machine appartient bien au domaine de la technique et participe à l’artificialité du monde humain. L’analyse de la notion de machine est donc reconduite vers l’élaboration d’une anthropologie philosophique.

Nous proposons de définir la machine comme la mise en place d’automatismes permettant le déclenchement et la répétition d’opérations déterminées.

Cette définition, qu’il faudra confronter à son objet et aux interprétations traditionnelles, vise à dégager la machine de toute matérialité prédéterminée, pour la comprendre comme un agencement et un séquençage d’actions, dont les applications sont nomades et polymorphes. De ce fait, son champ d’application est en droit coextensif à celui de l’agir humain. Cependant, si elle concerne fondamentalement l’agir, elle exige de repenser l’articulation du théorique et du pratique : la machine intervient à la fois dans des réalisations effectives et comme paradigme d’intelligibilité, grâce auquel l’esprit modélise les éléments des complexités à connaître. C’est bien dans cette puissance artificielle, à la racine de la théorie et de la pratique, que nous devons ressaisir les automatismes de la machine.

Nous mènerons donc, en collaboration avec des spécialistes, une série d’études pluridisciplinaires consacrées aux différents champs d’application de la machine. Le fonctionnement des machines concerne donc bien sûr la sphère économique avec la production de marchandises et d’infrastructures (une théorie économique de la machine et des innovations techniques est centrale pour comprendre le dynamisme du capitalisme). Elle concerne encore la sphère des institutions à la fois juridiques et scientifiques avec la mise en place de procédures réglées et impersonnelles qui ont en charge la production de l’objectivité nécessaire pour l’administration de la justice ou la validation collective des preuves ; la sphère de la science proprement dite et des opérations de l’esprit, avec la formalisation du calcul, les dispositifs expérimentaux, les traitement des données et des observations dans des modèles prédictifs ; la sphère bio-médicale avec l’objectivation du corps, l’évolution de l’appareillage prothétique, l’instrumentalisation du vivant ; une théorie de la subjectivité prise dans la tension entre réflexivité et opérativité (avec une théorie des habitudes, la critique deleuzienne de la psychanalyse et une théorie du rituel) ; la sphère esthétique tant au niveau des œuvres elles mêmes (dans les différents arts) que de leur production et de leur mise en circulation ; la sphère de la cybernétique et du traitement des informations avec ses enjeux cognitifs et socio-politiques.

Ces analyses devront permettre de problématiser l’institution du monde humain.

Third Conference of the ESHS

Vienna, September 10 - 12, 2008
Hosted by the Austrian Academy of Sciences

The Third Conference of the European Society for the History of Science is devoted to the topic Styles of Thinking in Science and Technology.

In 1994 the late Alistair Crombie published his monumental work ‚Styles of Scientific Thinking in the European Tradition’. He distinguished between six „styles of inquiry, demonstration and explanation diversified by their subject-matters, by their general conceptions of nature, and by scientific experience“ (publisher’s prospectus): postulation, the experimental argument, hypothetical modelling, taxonomy, probabilistic and statistical analysis, historical derivation.

Fourteen years later it is time to reconsider this fascinating topical subject, in order to broaden earlier, Eurocentric approaches. Which philosophical, cultural, religious, political, economic influences can be identified that led to certain styles of thinking in science and technology all over the world and that influenced their further development ? Cross-cultural influences and interrelations are of special interest. How are such traditions of thinking transmitted to later generations, to other cultures ? How are they modified in the course of history ?

The Third Conference of the European Society for the History of Science would like to give a platform to all historians and philosophers of science and technology who are interested in these questions. Vienna with its scientific and cultural institutions that played a crucial role in the history of science is an ideal city for such an event.

Eberhard Knobloch, President of the ESHS

Western Medieval Manuscripts in the Bodleian Library

The Cataloguing of Western Medieval Manuscripts in the Bodleian Library: a TEI approachwith an appendix describing a TEI-conformant manuscript description.

There are three main series of published catalogues of the western manuscripts at the Bodleian Library: the so-called `Quarto' catalogues, published between 1845 and 1900, in quarto format, which cover the major collections acquired (for the most part) in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries (Coxe 1845-1900); the Summary Catalogue , published between 1895 and 1953, which covers the manuscripts acquired from 1602 to 1915, except those already described in the Quarto catalogues (Madan 1895-1953); and the Summary Catalogue of Post-Medieval Western Manuscripts , published in 1991, which covers most post-medieval manuscripts acquired between 1916 and 1975 (Clapinson and Rogers 1991). In January 1996 the Library began a four-year project, funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), under the Non-Formula Funding Specialised Research Collections initiative, the purpose of which is to make available descriptions of the medieval western manuscripts acquired by the Library since 1916, for which no full published catalogue yet exists. For more detailed bibliographical information on the catalogues of western manuscripts at the Bodleian, see http://www.bodley.ox.ac.uk/guides/wmss/wmss02.htm.

Associazione Italiana Informatica Etica

L’Associazione Italiana informatica Etica Onlus nasce con l’intento di coinvolgere istituzioni, enti, associazioni, scuole, aziende e persone comuni ad abbattere tutte le barriere che si interpongono tra il Computer e l’Utente.
Abbattere l’esclusione digitale e sociale è il nostro obiettivo. Questa strada è percorribile attraverso l’informazione, la sensibilizzazione e la diffusione di tutti quegli strumenti utili alla comprensione ed alla sperimentazioni di nuovi orizzonti informatici. Come ottenere questo? Attraverso la divulgazione delle informazioni; abbattendo le barriere architettoniche ed economiche; facendo inchieste, denunce, interviste; raccogliendo opinioni idee e proposte; sviluppando progetti e studi, in collaborazione con l’università ed enti di ricerca. Aiutateci a divulgare i nostri intenti, ad abbattere le barriere sociali, culturali, economiche e strutturali per dare un aspetto più umano all’informatica e per abbattere l’esclusione sotto tutti i punti di vista. Ne possiamo discutere insieme?

Roma nel Rinascimento

Roma nel Rinascimento promuove un’attività di studio e di ricerca sulla cultura e la società romana dal tardo Medioevo al Rinascimento (dall’inizio del Trecento fino alla metà del Cinquecento), svolta prevalentemente dai soci, che sono studiosi di discipline diverse (storici, storici dell’arte e dell’architettura, filologi, paleografi, storici della letteratura) inseriti in differenti realtà istituzionali: archivi, biblioteche, scuole, università.
Come linee di ricerca sono state sinora privilegiate: a) il censimento di materiali prevalentemente inediti (manoscritti, epigrafi e documenti) prodotti a Roma; b) lo studio della stampa romana del Quattrocento e del primo Cinquecento: tipografi operanti a Roma; manoscritti utilizzati in tipografia; costo del libro manoscritto e a stampa; c) lo studio della realtà socio-economica romana attraverso l’esame dei protocolli notarili dal pontificato di Martino V (1417-1431) a quello di Sisto IV (1471-1484); d) lo studio dei rapporti politici, culturali, socio-economici tra Spagna e Roma all’epoca dei re Cattolici; e) lo studio dei pontificati di Martino V, Sisto IV e Alessandro VI; f) lo studio del Trecento romano attraverso l’analisi dei rapporti tra Francesco Petrarca e Roma; g) l’Accademia romana e Pomponio Leto.

Roma nel Rinascimento organizza cicli di conferenze, corsi di specializzazione, seminari e convegni, sempre fortemente caratterizzati da un approccio multidisciplinare.
Tra le iniziative più significative si ricordano:
i due seminari dedicati a Scrittura, biblioteche e stampa a Roma nel Quattrocento (realizzati nel 1979 e nel 1982), il seminario Fonti per la storia del Lazio (svoltosi nel 1989), i convegni relativi ai pontificati di Sisto IV (Un pontificato ed una città. Sisto IV. 1471-1484, realizzato nel 1984) e Martino V (Alle origini della nuova Roma. Martino V. 1417-1431, realizzato nel 1992), una serie di convegni dedicati al pontificato di Alessandro VI (1492-1503), il convegno su Petrarca e Roma (Roma, 2-4 dicembre 2004), la giornata di studi su Pomponio Leto e la prima Accademia romana (2 dicembre 2005), la giornata di studi Per un Bilancio storiografico della ricerca su Roma in età rinascimentale (6 novembre 2006).

RM Calendario

RM Calendario (già Calendario della Medievistica) si propone come una banca dati aggiornata sull'attività storiografica internazionale legata ai convegni e agli incontri di studio che si tengono ogni giorno nel mondo nell'ambito degli studi medievali, e come un archivio digitale - percorribile attraverso un apposito motore di ricerca - per reperire informazioni essenziali, e spesso preziose (resoconti, uscita degli atti, etc.), che altrimenti rischiano di andare perdute non appena trascorso l’incontro.

Progetto DELOS

DELOS is a Network of Excellence on Digital Libraries partially funded by the European Commission in the frame of the Information Society Technologies Programme (IST). The main objectives of DELOS are research, whose results are in the public domain, and technology transfer, through cooperation agreements with interested parties.

Database machine drawings

The database DMD is part of the research project The Relation of Practical Experience and Conceptual Structures in the Emergence of Science: Mental Models in the History of Mechanics, a project pursued by Department I of the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (MPIWG), Berlin, headed by Jürgen Renn. In its context, a large number of original sources concerning the history of mechanics have been made available on the Internet as a digital research library, the Archimedes Project. In this broader context the database DMD is especially devoted to studying the practical knowledge of early modern engineers.

Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative

The Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative (CDLI) represents the efforts of an international group of Assyriologists, museum curators and historians of science to make available through the internet the form and content of cuneiform tablets dating from the beginning of writing, ca. 3350 BC, until the end of the pre-Christian era. We estimate the number of these documents currently kept in public and private collections to exceed 500,000 exemplars, of which now nearly 225,000 have been catalogued in electronic form by the CDLI.

Mathematical Sciences in the Medieval Islamic World by Jeff Oaks

Antikythera

More than a hundred years ago an extraordinary mechanism was found by sponge divers at the bottom of the sea near the island of Antikythera. It astonished the whole international community of experts on the ancient world. Was it an astrolabe? Was in an orrery or an astronomical clock? Or something else? For decades, scientific investigation failed to yield much light and relied more on imagination than the facts. However research over the last half century has begun to reveal its secrets. It dates from around the 1st century B.C. and is the most sophisticated mechanism known from the ancient world. Nothing as complex is known for the next thousand years. The Antikythera Mechanism is now understood to be dedicated to astronomical phenomena and operates as a complex mechanical "computer" which tracks the cycles of the Solar System.

The Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative (CDLI) represents the efforts of an international group of Assyriologists, museum curators and historians of science to make available through the internet the form and content of cuneiform tablets dating from the beginning of writing, ca. 3350 BC, until the end of the pre-Christian era. We estimate the number of these documents currently kept in public and private collections to exceed 500,000 exemplars, of which now nearly 225,000 have been catalogued in electronic form by the CDLI. learn more
