Dear Colleagues,
We are inviting submissions to the international conference on “Nuclear
Revivals and Legacies” that will take place on 21st-22nd October 2024 at
the Ecole des Ponts ParisTech, Champs sur Marne (Paris). This conference
aims to bring together social science and humanities perspectives on
nuclear issues in an unprecedented context. Sociology, history,
philosophy, anthropology, geography, political science, economy, and
Science and Technology Studies approaches can complement each other to
provide new insights into developments in this sector.
Short Abstract: In the context of climate change and geopolitical
tensions over energy supply, calls for a nuclear « revival »,
« relaunch » or « renaissance » are reviving and reconfiguring
justifications and promises that have accompanied nuclear technology
since the post-war years. Nuclear futures are framed by categories,
practices and materials inherited from the past and perpetuated until
today. What happens when the nuclear industry is simultaneously faced
with issues of decline and renewal? How does this configuration shed
light on the challenges of managing infrastructures that are presented
as crucial in the context of climate change?
Please find the complete call attached to this email.
Abstracts should be submitted before May 31st 2024. Notification of
acceptance will be given by mid-June.
We very much look forward to receiving your submissions. Please feel
free to share this with your colleagues and networks.
Best wishes,
Martin Denoun (Spiral, Université de Liège)
