AAC (CFP) « Savoirs olfactifs : Connaître par l'odorat du XVIIIe siècle à nos jours » / "Olfactory knowledge: Learning through smell from the 18th century to the present day" (22-23/10/2026) - Chaire Santé SHS
Appel à communication pour le colloque « Savoirs olfactifs : Connaître par l'odorat du XVIIIe siècle à nos jours ».« Dis-moi ce que tu sens, je te dirai ce que je sais ». Organisé du 22 au 23 octobre 2026 à la Maison française d'Oxford (Royaume-Uni), le colloque « Savoirs olfactifs : Connaître par l'odorat du XVIIIe siècle à nos jours » propose d'interroger la place de l'odorat dans la constitution des savoirs au cours de l'époque contemporaine en s'intéressant à ses rapports avec les usages et les pratiques.Les savoirs olfactifs font partie partie intégrante de nombreuses pratiques qu'elles soient savantes, médicales, artisanales ou encore domestiques. Le recours aux expertises organoleptiques et aux appréciations olfactives est déterminant dans la caractérisation des matériaux, des espèces végétales et fongiques ou encore à l’élaboration d’un diagnostic médical. Dans le domaine des artisanats, l’olfaction constitue le plus souvent un savoir tacite, mais les documents tels que les traités techniques rappellent que l’odeur a aussi bien souvent été convoquée pour signaler une matière frelatée ou l’état d’avancée d’un processus de transformation chimique. Malgré ces usages, l'odorat reste considéré comme un sens inférieur aux autres dans l'économie générale des savoirs : il ne permettrait d'accéder qu'à une connaissance approximative. L'expertise olfactive devrait être complétée par l'instrumentation pour accéder à la connaissance. Cette conception reste profondément ancrée jusque dans la langue où le flair demeure une métaphore privilégiée pour désigner une connaissance intuitive.En questionnant ce lieu commun, ce colloque interdisciplinaire ambitionne de reconsidérer la place ambivalente accordée à l'odorat dans la constitution des savoirs. Les nombreuses pistes de recherche empruntées - la respiration, la physiologie, l'olfactométrie, les méthodes d'enseignement ou les enjeux de genre, - doivent permettre de stimuler une riche réflexion collective. La mobilisation de différentes disciplines - depuis les arts, les sciences humaines et sociales jusqu'à la médecine, la chimie, les neurosciences ou encore l'architecture - doit quant à elle permettre de multiplier les angles d'approches en plus d'élargir le champ des objets étudiés, depuis les textes (traités, ouvrages...), les images (illustrations, photographies) jusqu'aux objets (olfactomètres, etc...).Le comité d'organisation attend les contributions de jeunes chercheurs et chercheuses comme celles des spécialistes confirmés dans leur domaine. Les propositions de communication en français ou en anglais, d’environ 3 000 signes, accompagnées d’une courte bio-bibliographie, sont à adresser à Rémi Digonnet (remi.digonnet@univ-st-etienne.fr) et Érika Wicky (erika.wicky@univ-grenoble-alpes.fr) avant le 15 avril 2026. Ce colloque international est organisé par la Chaire de Professeure junior « Olfactions » (Université Grenoble-Alpes / LARHRA). Il sera accueilli par la Maison française d’Oxford (CNRS). Il bénéficie du soutien du Centre Alexandre Koyré (CNRS/EHESS/MNHN, Paris), du laboratoire ECLLA (Université Jean-Monnet de Saint-Etienne), de la Chaire Santé-SHS de Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne et de l’Institut universitaire de France.(Informations-clés au bas de l'actualité) Call for papers :  "Olfactory knowledge: Learning through smell from the 18th century to the present day" (English)Held on October 22-23, 2026, at the Maison française d'Oxford (United Kingdom), the international conference "Olfactory Knowledge: Learning through smell from the 18th Century to the present day" will examine the role of smell in the constitution of knowledge in the contemporary era, focusing on its relationship with customs and practices.Olfactory knowledge is an integral part of many scholarly, medical, artisanal, and domestic practices. The use of organoleptic expertise and olfactory assessments is crucial in the characterization of materials, the classification of plant and fungal species and even in the development of medical diagnoses. In the field of crafts, olfaction is most often tacit knowledge, but documents such as technical treatises remind us that smell has also often been used to indicate adulterated materials or advanced chemical transformation processes. Despite these uses, smell is still considered inferior to the other senses in the general economy of knowledge: it is thought to provide only approximate knowledge. Olfactory expertise must be supplemented by instruments in order to access knowledge. This conception remains deeply rooted even in language, where flair remains a favored metaphor for intuitive knowledge.By questioning this commonplace, this interdisciplinary conference aims to reconsider the ambivalent place accorded to smell in the constitution of knowledge. The numerous avenues of research explored (breathing, physiology, olfactometry, teaching methods, and gender issues...) should stimulate rich collective reflection. The involvement of different disciplines, from the arts, humanities, and social sciences to medicine, chemistry, neuroscience, and architecture, should make it possible to multiply the angles of approach and broaden the field of objects studied, from texts (treatises, books, etc.) images (illustrations, photographs) to objects (olfactometers, etc.).The organizing committee welcomes contributions from young researchers as well as established specialists in their field. Proposals for papers in French or English, approximately 3,000 characters in length, accompanied by a short bio-bibliography, should be sent to Rémi Digonnet (remi.digonnet@univ-st-etienne.fr) and Érika Wicky (erika.wicky@univ-grenoble-alpes.fr) before April 15, 2026.This international symposium is organized by the Junior Professorship Chair “Olfactions” (University of Grenoble-Alpes / LARHRA). It will be hosted by the Maison française d’Oxford (CNRS). It is supported by the Alexandre Koyré Center (CNRS/EHESS/MNHN, Paris), the ECLLA research laboratory (Jean Monnet University of Saint-Etienne), the Health-SHS Chair of Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne, and the Institut Universitaire de France. Contributors’s travel and accommodation expenses will be covered.- Informations-clés / Key information :Organisateur·trices / Organizers : Rémi Digonnet, Université Jean Monnet de Saint-Étienne / ECLLAJudith Rainhorn, Paris 1 / CHSMarie Thébaud-Sorger, CNRS / CAKÉrika Wicky, Université Grenoble-Alpes / LARHRALieu / Location : Maison française d’Oxford (Royaume-Uni / United Kingdom)Date :  22/10/2026 - 23/10/2026

1/10: The paper employs a poststructuralist lens to interrogate scientific knowledge production. Drawing on Foucault, it challenges the neutrality of science, revealing its embeddedness in power structures. #ScienceStudies #Poststructuralism das.ubernerden.com/ott-physik-d...
