Against the backdrop of austerity\, agricultural restructuring\, and the concentration of land ownership in rural England\, it demonstrates how this discursive shift has reconfigured the moral imaginary of ‘The green and pleasant land’ (William Blake) by creating an unlikely alliance between landowners\, resource economists\, property managers\, and conservationists. This alliance values land and nature itself in terms of future cash flows. \nLise Cornilleau \nThe ‘boundary work’ of financialization in the case of farmland: data\, metrics\, regulation \n  \n\nAlexander Dobeson is Assistant professor at Copenhagen Business School’s Department of Management\, Society and Communication. \nLise Cornilleau is a lecturer and researcher at the Laboratoire Printemps – Professions\, Institutions\, Temporalités [Professions\, Institutions\, Temporalities]\, UFR of social sciences\, University of Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines-CNRS. \nInformation and registration\n\n\n\nVenue: Mines Paris-PSL\, 60 boulevard Saint Michel\, 75006 Paris.

At the turn of the twenty-first century\, Paraguay was undergoing dramatic economic\, political\, and environmental change due to a boom in the global demand for soybeans. Although the country’s massive new soy monocrop brought wealth\, it also brought deforestation\, biodiversity loss\, rising inequality\, and violence. Kregg Hetherington traces well-meaning attempts by bureaucrats and activists to regulate the destructive force of monocrops that resulted in the discovery that the tools of modern government are at best inadequate to deal with the complex harms of modern agriculture and at worst exacerbate them. The book simultaneously tells a local story of people\, plants\, and government; a regional story of the rise and fall of Latin America’s new left; and a story of the Anthropocene writ large\, about the long-term\, paradoxical consequences of destroying ecosystems in the name of human welfare. \nKregg Hetherington\, The Government of Beans.

The new faces of forest exploitatione \nVictims of climate change\, France’s forests are also defined in the climate and forestry arenas as allies in the fight against it. Whether in the context of France’s Low Carbon National Strategy\, or in the discourse of forestry and timber industry professionals\, forests are presented as “carbon sinks”. This symbolic valuation of forests\, which has led to conservationist framing in other latitudes\, as well as to their financial valuation in the form of carbon credits\, justifies another\, more traditional form of economic valorization in France: the intensification of forest exploitation. \nThis presentation shifts the focus away from the emblematic regions of forest industrialization\, and looks at how intensive silvicultural systems are discreetly and technically integrated into the management of more “multifunctional” forests in the Vosges and Mediterranean massifs. It is based on a multi-level qualitative survey of senior civil servants\, researchers and activists\, as well as field forest managers and workers. It will show how the implementation of knowledge rooted in the interactions between workers\, harvesting machines and forests adds substance to the political and silvicultural agendas for French forests. At the crossroads of sociology of techniques\, public action and environmental humanities\, the presentation sheds light on the valorization of forests through a sociology of ecological work. \nNelly Parès \nBetween economy and ecology: hybridizations and value debates in the French Mediterranean forests \nClimate change\, biodiversity erosion\, landscapes and living environments\, since the 1980s and 1990s\, forest areas have become the focus of renewed social and political concern. As debates on silvicultural practices and their institutionalization within public forestry and environmental policy unfold\, the discourse of scientific ecology is taking on an increasingly prominent role. Drawing on an analysis of the design and implementation of public policies\, together with discourse and textual analysis\, this presentation will examine the social work involved in interpreting the central concepts of scientific ecology by the various actors involved in forest management (owners\, managers\, political decision-makers\, associations\, users of forests for leisure activities)\, with a particular focus on Mediterranean forests with ecological\, social and economic characteristics that place them on the periphery of the industrial sector. Based on a typology of three major conceptions of the forest and its management (productive forest\, forest-environment and forest-living-system)\, I will show that\, far from merely opposing each other\, ecological and economic discourses tend to interpenetrate and mutually support each other; and that\, in contrast to the utilitarian and scientific-technical approach agreed upon by the proponents of the first two institutionalized conceptions\, the living-forest-system allows actors far removed from the spheres of public policy-making (users\, forestry associations) to support alternative practices and ways of thinking about the forest and its development. \n  \n\n\n\n  \nCharlotte Glinel is currently completing her PhD at SciencePo’s Center for the Sociology of Organizations (CSO). \nNelly Parès is a researcher at the Museum National de l’Histoire Naturelle (MNHN) \n  \nInformation and registration\nDate: Friday\, November 10\, 11am-1pm\n \nVenue: Mines Paris-PSL\, 60 boulevard Saint Michel\, 75006 Paris.

Based on an idea by Martial Petit\, a work analyst at Airbus Helicopters\, this “ideaspace” dedicated to blue-collar workers is now run by Alexandre Facompré\, himself a former workshop companion. He helps his colleagues to turn their ideas for parts or small tools into reality\, using additive manufacturing.

Since the mid-2010s\, Europe and France have tried to implement a strategy to accelerate the decarbonization of the concerned sectors. In addition to focusing on the development of thermal renewable energies\, initiatives are also underway to recover so-called “waste heat”\, i.e. heat emitted incidentally by numerous industrial and urban processes\, to supply district heating networks. Heat thus reclassified as “recovered heat” is now a key element in the energy transition strategies of many local authorities. After showing how “waste heat” has gradually moved from the status of waste to that of a “transition resource”\, we will question the nature of the decarbonization and energy decentralization trajectories at play around recovered energies. \nCamille Rivière \nMoney markings and markdowns: the dynamics of greening the electricity industry in Guadeloupe \nThis presentation focuses on the process of greening the electricity industry in Guadeloupe. Since the early 2000s\, this territory has been subject to increasing calls for greater energy autonomy and the development of renewable energies. The financing of these transformations relies on a specific channel\, that of the contribution to the energy public service (CSPE)\, which initially ensured a principle of tariff equalization. We propose to study this particular financing circuit to shed light on the conflicts and controversies underpinning the energy transition. We have identified different groups of actors by analyzing their financing circuit. Within the industrial sector\, there are two distinct groups: on the one hand\, the incumbents\, who are major importers of carbon products\, and on the other\, the challengers\, who tend to promote renewable energies. Our focus is on the struggles between these actors to share the value distributed through the CSPE. In particular\, we are interested in the money-marking and markdown operations that were carried out on this circuit over the last 20 years. \nAntoine Fontaine is a CNRS Researcher at UMR Environnement\, Ville\, Société. \nCamille Rivière is a researcher at Crigen and associate researcher at CEMS. \nThe session will also be streamed by videoconference.

Bomsel\, professor of economics at Mines Paris-PSL\, and F Hartog\, historian at ENS and EHESS. DESCRIPTION:The Bibliothèque de l’Ecole des Mines de Paris-PSL is continuing its program of talks and debates between researchers and experts. \nWe are delighted to invite you to attend a “Rencontre” between Olivier Bomsel\, Professor of Economics at Mines Paris-PSL\, and François Hartog\, historian at ENS and EHESS. \nEconomy\, politics and time \nFor almost three centuries\, it was believed that economics conditioned politics and history. This assumption is still very much alive\, both in public opinion and in the social sciences.\nOver the past twenty years\, however\, new approaches have been challenging this view.\nThese concern\, on the one hand\, the role of institutions in controlling violence and the social orders they establish. And secondly\, the end of progressivism\, in other words\, of an experience and representation of time driven by the future.\nThe theory of social orders and transformations in the order of time are reshaping the relationship between economics\, politics and history.\nThis meeting between François Hartog\, historian of time\, and Olivier Bomsel\, economist of institutions\, will give some examples.” \nThis exchange will be an opportunity to discover the richness of the dialogue between disciplines\, their place in the production of knowledge\, and above all to see the intellectual careers of two researchers whose work is widely recognized. \nA filmed interview will round off the event. \nTo find out more\, go to this page: https://www.bib.minesparis.psl.eu/bibliotheques/evenements-culturels/rencontre-francois-hartog-et-olivier-bomsel-12-octobre-2023/ \nOn-site or remote registration is compulsory to enable us to calibrate the event:\nhttps://framaforms.org/rencontre-francois-hartog-et-olivier-bomsel-12-octobre-2023-1695299880 \nHere’s the zoom link for remote assistance:\nhttps://minesparis-psl-eu.zoom.us/j/93741109292?pwd=OGYyWVkwSXpOVGp0QThYK05QYTlkdz09 >\nID de la réunion / Meeting ID : 93741109292\nMot de passe / Password : 336875 \nWe look forward to seeing you there!

Please register here. \nEvent organized as part of the ALDIWO (Anti-Limits in the Digital World) project (project summary below). This project has received financial support from the CNRS through MIT’s interdisciplinary programs. \nIn French\, no videoconference \n\nOrganizers: Clément Marquet (CSI\, Mines Paris – PSL\, i3) and Florence Maraninchi (Verimag\, Grenoble INP – UGA) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDescription of the event\nThe digital sciences and technological development are dominated by a set of watchwords that are incompatible with the sobriety challenges we face: the race for computing power and the speed of exchanges\, accelerating hardware and software obsolescence\, and the invisibilization of the materiality of the technical device (see summary of the ALDIWO project below). Our aim for the event is to provide a forum for interdisciplinary exchange\, with a view to exploring other avenues of research towards a more sustainable – and possibly more denumerated – technical system. \nTo this end\, the event is structured in two parts: a first part devoted to presentations in sociology\, science & technology studies and computer science on alternative or devalued ways of relating to technological development – which are by no means ready-made solutions! A second part of the program will take the form of workshops aimed at outlining the prospects for interdisciplinary research to explore desirable and sustainable socio-technical-ecological futures\, by examining what ‘the digital’ would become if limits were reintroduced. \nMorning – Presentations (9:30am-12:15pm)\n\n9.15am – 9.30am: Welcome\n9.30am – 9.40am: Introduction – Clément Marquet (CSI\, Mines Paris – PSL\, i3) \n9.45am – 10.30am: Morgan Meyer (CSI\, CNRS\, i3) Low-techs and frontier objects\n10.30am – 11.15am: Jérôme Denis (CSI\, Mines Paris – PSL\, i3) et David Pontille (CSI\, CNRS\, i3) Maintenance and attention to fragility\n\nBreak \n\n11.30am – 12.15am: Florence Maraninchi (Verimag\, Grenoble INP – UGA) *Constraints\, limits\, optimization: a few examples from the inside of IT*.\n\nLunch 12.15am-2pm\nAfternoon – Workshops (2pm-5pm)\nObjective: raise multidisciplinary research questions \nWorkshop format will be announced soon \n  \nALDIWO (Anti-Limits in the Digital World) project rationale\nThe environmental impacts of digital technology are studied in research from two main angles: (1) so-called “Green IT” approaches focus on optimizing the power consumption of digital equipment in the usage phase; (2) so-called “Green-by-IT” approaches aim to reduce the environmental impacts of sectors other than digital technology\, thanks to digital technology. \nThese current approaches do not cover all the possible futures for the role of digital technology in current and future environmental upheavals: (1) there is no example in the history of digital technology where optimizations have not been accompanied by massive rebound effects that cancel out the gains of these optimizations; (2) the theoretical gains hoped for by offering a new generation of digital equipment are not always achieved in practice\, partly because one generation does not replace the previous one but is added to it\, at least for a while; (3) it is very difficult to assess the potential reduction in the environmental impact of the other sectors that are sought to be optimized thanks to digital technology. It’s a risky gamble to bet everything on the fact that these reductions will be significant enough to allow digital technology not to reduce its own impacts. \nIf digital technology is to play its part in the necessary reduction of global environmental impact\, it is essential to look beyond green-IT and green-by-IT. There is a whole area of potential research in computer science that falls under the category *Undone Science* [1]. These topics could be studied from within the discipline of computer science\, through a systematic re-examination of the design choices made for old and new systems alike\, a search for as yet unexplored points of potential optimization\, an assessment of the fragility of digital infrastructures in the face of drastic constraints imposed from outside\, and so on. \nIn our view\, however\, there are two main flaws in thinking that is confined to digital research fields: (a) it is intrinsically limited to the practical and technological aspects of the question\, with no clear idea\, for example\, of how to take into account the uses\, rebound effects and acceleration effects of all the other sectors\, and so on; (b) it suffers\, albeit sometimes unconsciously\, from a framework of thought that sees digital technologies as one (if not the only) means of opening up possible futures\, and any idea of limitation as part of an unrealistic pessimism or a reprehensible lack of confidence. Yet in his article “Predictions Without Futures” [2]\, S. Hong provides a perfect description of how the imaginary of the technological world\, far from opening up futures\, actually closes them up completely. \nIn this project\, we propose to explore the notion of “limit” within a multi-disciplinary framework\, in order to sketch out avenues for a research program that takes the project of digital sobriety seriously. \n[1] S.

This proposal is based on an observation: the effects of climate change\, the mass extinctions whose list is growing daily\, the democratic wobbles and social and political crises that our societies are going through\, reveal the fragility of the Earth’s ecosystem and the human organization of the world. Faced with these multiple challenges\, we need to ask ourselves not only what we need to pay attention to\, but what we can do with our attention. \nSpeakers will attempt to answer this double question by combining the knowledge and practices of researchers\, philosophers\, historians\, sociologists\, anthropologists and environmental specialists with the work of artists from all fields (visual artists\, writers\, dancers\, musicians\, filmmakers). \nFrom political\, post-colonial and “nature-cultural” struggles to conditions of habitability\, from the health of landscapes to the study of object maintenance and upkeep\, from stories of microbes to interspecific relations\, from the hybridization of expert and lay knowledge to the reappropriation of living environments worthy of being lived in\, particularly in care settings\, the aim is to better grasp how ecology and care correspond through these experiences and reflections. \nwith the participation of Jérôme Denis : \nFriday August 25th \n \n6:00 pm dialogue\n \n \nwith Jérôme Denis | Jeanne Guien\nPrendre soin des choses\nModerator : Julie Clarini\, editor-in-chief  Idées de L’Ob \nWhile the humanities and social sciences are now turning their attention to non-human beings and calling for care to be taken of the living\, they seem to be neglecting “things”\, whose central place in our lives was noted as long ago as 1965 by novelist Georges Perec. But why should caring for living beings mean disregarding objects and those who care for them? Are we even capable of describing the relationship between humans and things? Sociologists Jérôme Denis and David Pontille focus on maintenance activities and the all-too-frequently invisible people who perform them. Jérôme Denis will debate the ethical stakes and political implications of this delicate art of making things last\, with Jeanne Guien\, a specialist in obsolescence and the history of consumer society. At a time of hyper-productivism and the race to innovate\, they will tell us how this “care for things” can establish a new relationship with time and the world. \n \nUpload the programme-2023 \nTicket sales open to non-members from July 15: \n\nBilletterie URL:https://i3-cnrs.fr/en/evenement/la-manufacture-des-idees/ LOCATION:Château d’Hurigny\, 87\, rue des Verchères\, Hurigny\, 71870\, France CATEGORIES:Conferences ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://i3-cnrs.fr/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/Manufacture-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20230711T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20230711T170000 DTSTAMP:20230703T124432Z CREATED:20230703T123759Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230703T124432Z UID:17582-1689084000-1689094800@i3-cnrs.fr SUMMARY:Invitation to the defense of IC students in the Design Engineering option DESCRIPTION:Students in the Design Engineering option at Mines Paris – PSL will be presenting their research work\, carried out in pairs and supervised by teachers from the Centre de Gestion Scientifique. \nThis year\, the presentations will take place on Tuesday July 11\, starting at 2:00 pm in hybrid mode.\nYou’ll be able to listen to our students in person or remotely. \nIf you would like to attend these remote presentations\, please send us a registration request by e-mail (chaire-tmci at minesparis.psl.eu).

If this risk is known\, pooling it within an insurance system loses its meaning\, and a move towards individualized contracts is a plausible option. \nAt the same time\, massive data processing makes it possible to monitor recommended behaviors using connected tools. With a connected watch\, for example\, it’s possible to know whether a given policyholder is following recommendations on physical exercise or other matters. Contracts can be modulated according to compliance behavior. Prevention\, both in terms of risk prediction and compliance with the measures implemented\, therefore seems an additional dimension for insurers to integrate. But the adoption of such an approach depends on cultural contexts. \nIs it possible to envisage individual forms of insurance based on greater control of policyholder behavior in contexts such as France? If this seems more plausible in liberal contexts\, isn’t there a French-style model to be created to take account of these new forms of prevention in the insurance world? If so\, what are its foundations? \nhosted by Etienne Minvielle \n  \nTo register\, click here \n  URL:https://i3-cnrs.fr/en/evenement/prevention-du-risque-et-impact-sur-la-couverture-assurantielle-en-sante/ LOCATION:Académie Nationale de Médecine\, 16 rue Bonaparte\, PARIS\, 75006\, France CATEGORIES:Seminaires ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://i3-cnrs.fr/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/S2MINAIRE-e1686118576746.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20230627T170000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20230627T190000 DTSTAMP:20230616T081156Z CREATED:20230616T080623Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230616T081156Z UID:17545-1687885200-1687892400@i3-cnrs.fr SUMMARY:Physical Internet Chair DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce the date of the Internet Physics Chair’s annual public event\, which will focus on presenting the results of our research.

Across these diverse landscapes\, many species of crow are doing well: their intelligent and adaptive ways of life have allowed them to thrive amid human-driven transformations. Indeed\, crows are frequently disliked for their success\, seen as pests\, threats\, and scavengers on the detritus of human life. But among the vast variety of crows\, there are also critically endangered species that are barely hanging on to existence\, some of them the subjects of passionate conservation efforts. \nThe Wake of Crows is an exploration of the entangled lives of humans and crows. Focusing on five key sites\, Thom van Dooren asks how we might live well with crows in a changing world. He explores contemporary possibilities for shared life emerging in the context of ongoing processes of globalization\, colonization\, urbanization\, and climate change. Moving among these diverse contexts\, this book tells stories of extermination and extinction alongside fragile efforts to better understand and make room for other species. Grounded in the careful work of paying attention to particular crows and their people\, The Wake of Crows is an effort to imagine and put into practice a multispecies ethics. In so doing\, van Dooren explores some of the possibilities that still exist for living and dying well on this damaged planet. \nThom Van Dooren\, The Wake of Crows.

Les enjeux des cultures de la réparation\nDoing ‘with’ to repair the world? The challenges of repair cultures\nCoordinators of this study day of the “Living in Transition” workshop:\nLaurence Allard[1]\, Clément Marquet[2] and Jérôme Boissonade[3] \nFaced with the challenges of the new climate regime\, the massive destruction of biodiversity and the economic\, cultural and social damage caused by neo-liberal globalization\, the critique of the consumerist model\, co-constitutive of the rise of industrial society\, calls for a profound transformation of the modes of production and use of objects\, and especially the practices of discarding. Consideration of our daily consumer objects’ life cycle on a planetary scale involves redefining the modalities of use and the development of infrastructures to ensure the maintenance and the repair of all things. The imperative of sobriety\, omnipresent in the situation of energy crisis\, intends to capture this call for the slowdown of consumption and the alleviation of the pressures on fossil and mineral resource extraction and the reduction of the accumulation of tons of waste. In this context\, a growing number of actors emphasize the pressing need for a reversal of values: sustainability versus disposability\, reuse versus abandonment\, repair versus destruction\, robustness versus obsolescence\, maintenance versus innovation\, redirection versus transition. \nFor this session of the “Living in Transition” workshop\, we propose to study the multiple facets of this impulse towards sustainability\, and to carefully analyze the tensions that this inversion of value may provoke. Making things last or repairing them are not “hypergoods” in themselves. After a period marked by “sustainable development”\, how can we question both the possibilities and the limits of maintenance and repair brought about by ecological transition policies? While receiving new attention\, with the emergence of socially valued sites\, the practices of repair\, waste sorting and reuse are also old practices: what can we learn from what is often played out at the margins\, and how can we avoid the sudden spotlight on third places\, makerspaces and other repair cafés from producing an exclusion of the most marginal social actors? How can we give a legitimate place to situated knowledge and infra-ordinary gestures alongside technical expertise? Moreover\, the problem of obsolescence cannot be considered only from the consumers’ point of view\, it is actively dependent on designers: how does the urgency of sustainability redefine design and production practices? To what extent does appropriation through transformation allow for a re-examination of the relationship to things and for overcoming the opposition between market value and use value? Finally\, to what extent can the relationship to others and to time characteristic of most “cultures of repair” take a part in ways of doing and living that have environmental and social justice as their horizon? \nTo address these questions\, we will welcome researchers in the sociology of science and technology\, in anthropology and in design sciences. \nProgramme \nMatinée (9h30-12h) “Maintenir et concevoir” \nIntroduction de Clément Marquet \n\nJérôme Denis[4] & David Pontille[5] : « Qui prend soin des choses ?

Rather than a technical reflection on the eco-design of digital services\, this study day proposes to discuss the challenges encountered when addressing with students the more global issues raised by the place of digital technologies in the climate and environmental crises. These issues require teachers to step away from the primary focus of their expertise to delve into other bodies of knowledge\, which are not always easy to identify or to master. Moreover\, the complexity and systemic nature of these problems confronts us with difficulties uncommonly encountered in digital education\, such as uncertainty or even controversy around existing knowledge. Thus\, the teacher’s posture but also the possible reactions of discomfort of students confronted with these issues raise many questions that deserve being discussed. \nThe objective of this event is therefore to share knowledge\, questions and experiences regarding the teaching of the environmental consequences of digital technologies\, whether it is taught by educators in the digital sciences or in the humanities and social sciences. Exchanges will focus as much on content\, interdisciplinary issues and epistemological difficulties as on pedagogical experiences related to the  subject. \n\n\nPhoto source : DocChewbacca (2007). « Salauds ! » (CC BY-SA 2.0) URL:https://i3-cnrs.fr/en/evenement/journee-detude/ LOCATION:CNRS site Pouchet\, 59-61 rue Pouchet\, Paris\, 75017\, France CATEGORIES:Conferences ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://i3-cnrs.fr/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/31-mai-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20230531T083000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20230531T183000 DTSTAMP:20230515T094726Z CREATED:20230510T145419Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230515T094726Z UID:17423-1685521800-1685557800@i3-cnrs.fr SUMMARY:First edition of the TTI.5 Environmental Controversy Award. DESCRIPTION:Best case study of an environmental controversy from the course Description of controversies \nThe Transition Institute 1.5 launches its first edition of the TTI.5 Environmental Controversy Award. The prize will be awarded to the best case study of a controversy dealing with an environmental topic\, selected among the papers written by students of the civil engineering program of Mines Paris–PSL. These controversy studies are carried out as part of the course Description of Controversies supervised by Madeleine Akrich\, sociologist and Research Director at the Center for the Sociology of Innovation (CSI). \n\n\n\nThe award will be granted to the best project\, based on the vote of the public\, after the presentation of the 5 nominated projects during the 1st TTI.5 Forum “Security issues related to climate change”. The event is on May 31st\, 2023 at the Maison de l’Océan\, 195 Rue Saint-Jacques\, Paris 75005. The award will be presented by Matthieu Mazière\, Director of the Civil Engineering Education Program at Mines Paris-PSL. \nLimited Seats\, registration to 1st TTI.5 Forum is required here. Discover the full program. \nControversy projects at Mines Paris – PSL\nThe course Description of Controversies is part of the curriculum for third-year students in the Civil Engineering program at Mines Paris-PSL. This course aims to educate engineering students about the evolution of their professional and civic context. The aim is to introduce them to the uncertain world of scientific and technical research by describing an object: a socio-technical controversy. \nThe topics proposed to the students have the following characteristics: an ongoing controversy\, on a targeted subject (for example: not “GMOs” but “the problems raised by the authorization of the cultivation of a transgenic potato plant which is controversial in a specific period and in a specific territory”)\, involving a diversity of protagonists (scientists\, experts\, jurists\, institutions\, members of parliament\, associations\, etc.)\, for which various sources of information are available (general press\, scientific press\, professional press\, discussion forums\, blogs\, websites\, parliamentary reports\, etc.). \nThe controversy study consists in a case study. A group of students follows a controversy in real time to discover its complexity and singularity.

We provide a novel view on the role of common ownership in mitigating information asymmetries on the quality of borrowers and the resulting contractual distortions in the terms of the loan. Our empirical evidence shows that high common ownership decreases loan rates\, lowers the share of the loan retained by the lead bank\, and mitigates rationing at issuance. Further investigations lend support to the hypothesis that common ownership serves as a device for information transmission: common ownership especially affects the terms of loans for new borrowers\, when the lead arranger is likely to hold an informational advantage. As information flows from the lead arranger to syndicate members\, we show that member-to-lead and member-to-member common ownership does not affect the terms of syndicated loans. \n  \nA link to the paper can be found here. \n  URL:https://i3-cnrs.fr/en/evenement/cerna-seminar-will-welcome-emanuele-tarantino-luiss/ LOCATION:Mines ParisTech\, 60 Boulevard Saint-Michel\, Paris\, 75006\, France CATEGORIES:Seminaires ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://i3-cnrs.fr/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Cerna-Research-seminar-e1684852191913.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20230517T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20230517T160000 DTSTAMP:20230427T114027Z CREATED:20230425T135856Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230427T114027Z UID:17397-1684332000-1684339200@i3-cnrs.fr SUMMARY:The next session of the Seminar on Digital Environmental Policies organized by the Center for the Sociology of Innovation (CSI Mines Paris – PSL) and the Center for Internet and Society (CIS) will be held on DESCRIPTION:The next session of the Seminar on Digital Environmental Policies \norganized by the Center for the Sociology of Innovation (CSI Mines Paris – PSL) and the Center for Internet and Society (CIS) will be held on \n  \nWednesday\, May 17\, 2023 – 2pm to 4pm \nby visioconference \n  \nFanny Lopez \nLaboratoire Architecture\, Infrastructure Territoire (LIAT)/ \nÉcole d’architecture de la ville & des territoires à Marne-la-Vallée (Éav&t Paris Est) \n  \nIn the vast park of electrical and digital machines \n  \n\n\n\n  \n\n\nSummary: This contribution proposes to shed light on the spatial and electrical impacts of digital infrastructure\, and in particular of data centers in Europe and the United States. The electrical-digital continuum is merging into an infrastructure whose inner workingsre are hardly distinguishable\, too large\, too complex. Whilst digital technology goes hand in hand with a massive electrification of uses (all kinds of connected objects and digitization of services)\, the electrical system is increasingly dependent on digital technology to operate (maintenance\, flexibility\, real time control). All of this requires increasingly more infrastructure to interconnect and process the data\, but also more power generation and distribution infrastructure to run it. The analysis of the digital infra-territorial connections’ architectures reveals an electrical infrastructure stretched to the limit. Understanding the digital technology through its electrical matrix involves recomposing a material intelligibility. Shedding light on this spatiality and the issues of its design and deployment places the disciplines of spatial planning in the front line. \n  \n\n\n\n  \nParticipation is upon registration only\, please use this form to register. \nLearn more about the seminar’s objectives and program. \nContact: Clément Marquet \nPhoto source: Fanny Lopez\, Academia \n\n\n\n\n\n\n         \n  \n         \n\n\n\n\n \n\n  URL:https://i3-cnrs.fr/en/evenement/seance-du-seminaire-politiques-environnementales-du-numerique/ LOCATION:Séminaire en visioconférence\, séminaire en visioconférence CATEGORIES:Seminaires ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://i3-cnrs.fr/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Clement-Marquet_Chantier-du-data-center-Par8-dInterxion-La-Courneuve__2021_CC-BY-4.0-003.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Cl%C3%A9ment Marquet":MAILTO:clement.marquet@minesparis.psl.eu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20230517T093000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20230517T163000 DTSTAMP:20230418T135507Z CREATED:20230417T141900Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230418T135507Z UID:17334-1684315800-1684341000@i3-cnrs.fr SUMMARY:Doctoriales i3 DESCRIPTION:Download the full programme \nPlease confirm your participation via this form no later than Wednesday\, May 3\, specifying if you intend to have lunch on site\, this will help us to organize the buffet. \n \n  \nContact : catherine.gayda@polytechnique.edu URL:https://i3-cnrs.fr/en/evenement/17326/ LOCATION:Mines ParisTech\, 60 Boulevard Saint-Michel\, Paris\, 75006\, France CATEGORIES:Conférences i3 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://i3-cnrs.fr/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Doctoriales-i3-2023-1-e1730272972825.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20230511T170000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20230511T190000 DTSTAMP:20230511T085421Z CREATED:20230421T124732Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230511T085421Z UID:17373-1683824400-1683831600@i3-cnrs.fr SUMMARY:The seminar “Economic expertise and environmental actions” will welcome Sébastien Chailleux and Andreas Folkers DESCRIPTION:The seminar “Economic expertise and environmental actions” will welcome \n \nSébastien Chailleux and Andreas Folkers \n \nGeoengineering \n \nThis session will explore the promises of geoengineering through analyzes of eco-modernist projects promoting innovations designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. \nSébastien Chailleux (Centre Émile Durkheim-UMR5116\, Sciences Po Bordeaux) – Geological carbon storage: instability of coalitions and discourses in relation to a negative carbon technology \nEcological modernization tends to dominate institutional definitions of low-carbon transitions in industrialized countries\, but a lot of studies provide a homogeneous view of ecomodernist projects based on market solutions and technological innovation. This presentation challenges this view of a homogeneity of ecological modernization through a micro-level analysis of the development of an eco-modernist coalition advocating for the development of carbon capture\, utilization and storage (CCUS) in France. Focusing on the construction and erosion of a common framework within the coalition\, we highlight both the ambivalence of the solution’s framing and the instability of the coalition supporting it. Drawing on interpretive policy analysis and the sociology of innovation\, we emphasize that eco-modern innovations are co-constructed between public and private actors. We argue that the ambivalent frameworks developed by the French promoters of CCUS initially legitimized the deployment of the technology but in the long-term led to a misalignment of actors. \nAndreas Folkers (Justus-Liebig-Universität Giessen) – Symbiotic (Geo)Engineering \nCows are not only one of the earliest forms of capital\, but they are also terraformers. They helped to colonize the Americas by occupying the land formerly inhabited by Bison herds and are still responsible for the transformation of rich forest ecologies into farmland. According to the FAO ‘livestock production accounts for 70 percent of all agricultural land and 30 percent of the land surface of the planet’. In addition to changing the land\, cows also change the chemical composition of the atmospheres by burping out methane. In last couple of years\, a series of technoscientific and bio-capitalist projects emerged that seek to reduce bovine methane emissions by altering the symbiotic microbial metabolism in the cow’s digestive track. These projects promise that their intervention at the microbial level will have an immediate effect on the planet and thus to constitute a form of microbial or symbiotic geoengineering. However\, this imaginary abstracts from the mediators that make such effects possible. The talk will show the various technoscientific\, calculative\, and economic steps necessary to connect the microbial to the planetary and to turn microbial engineering into geoengineering. \n \n\n\n\n \nSébastien Chailleux (Centre Émile Durkheim-UMR5116\, Sciences Po Bordeaux) is a lecturer at Sciences Po Bordeaux. His work focuses on the dynamics of politicization of energetic transition. For the past ten years\, he has studied how the extractive industries have adapted to the injunctions of the transition. He studied the ban on shale gas in France\, the failure of the mining revival and the development of geological carbon storage. His publications include L’Etat sous pression (2021) co-authored by Philippe Zittoun\, and Ressources Minérales et Transitions (2022) with Sylvain Le Berre and Yann Gunzburger\, as well as many other articles on these topics in Revue Internationale de Politique Comparée\, Revue Française de Sociologie\, Natures Sciences Sociétés\, Critical Policy Studies\, Environment & Planning C or Extractive Industries and Society. \nAndreas Folkers (Justus-Liebig-Universität Giessen) is a sociologist with research interests spanning political\, economic\, and environmental sociology\, social theory and science and technology studies. He is a post-doc at the Justus-Liebig University Gießen\, Institute for Sociology where he heads a research project on climate risks in finance. He is currently (Sep 2022 – June 2023) Fellow at the Princeton Institute for Advanced Study\, School of Social Science. His work investigates the bio- and technopolitics of contemporary societies from a perspective that combines the analytical sensibilities of STS with approaches in (critical) social theory. He has worked on topics such as disaster preparedness and critical infrastructure protection\, the energy transition\, and symbio-socialities. He is currently PI of a DFG-funded research project on stranded assets and climate risks in finance. The project looks at the “pipelines” between fossil and financial capital and analyses attempts to govern financial risks associated with decarbonization. In addition\, I’m writing a (second) book tentatively titled “Fossil Modernity. A Natural History of the Present” on the rise\, fall\, and afterlives of the cataclysmic ligature between modern societies and fossil fuels. \n \nInformation and registration\n\n\n\nDate: Thursday May 11\, 2023\, 5 pm – 7 pm \nVenue: EHESS\, 54 bd Raspail 75006 Paris\, room BS1_28. \nThe session will also be streamed by videoconference.

Using data on the full population of reimbursed prescriptions in Slovakia in 2017\, we examine whether outlets of pharmacy chains perform better than their independent counterparts in terms of consumer preferences and operating costs. Our preliminary findings indicate that consumers perceive pharmacy chains as having higher quality on average than independent outlets\, although there is substantial heterogeneity in the effects\, both across chain brands and across consumer types. We do not find evidence for substantial productivity gains due to chain affiliation. The growth of chain formats appears to be driven by an optimized location selection policy\, which allows companies to realize substantial economies of scale.” \nSee you there! \n  \nBest wishes\,\nSven URL:https://i3-cnrs.fr/en/evenement/cerna-seminar-with-biliana-yontcheva-dice/ LOCATION:Mines Paris PSL\, 60 boulevard saint Michel\, Paris\, France CATEGORIES:Seminaires ORGANIZER;CN="Sven HEIM":MAILTO:sven.heim@minesparis.psl.eu END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20230510T103000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20230510T120000 DTSTAMP:20230425T130717Z CREATED:20230425T125742Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230425T130717Z UID:17390-1683714600-1683720000@i3-cnrs.fr SUMMARY:Joint seminar session of the working groups Digital Capitalism and Ideologies and Digital Environmental Policies of the “Internet\, AI and Society” research group DESCRIPTION:Joint seminar session of the working groups Digital Capitalism and Ideologies and Digital Environmental Policies of the “Internet\, AI and Society” research group \n \n\n\nWednesday\, May 10\, 2023 – 10:30am to 12pm \nAt IRISSO (CNRS\, INRAE\, Dauphine-PSL)\, 59-61 rue Pouchet\, Paris 17e\, salle 255 \nand by visioconference \n\n\n \nChristo Sims \nCommunication Department\, University of California\, San Diego \n \nGreen Magic: \nenchantment technologies at Apple’s headquarters \n \n\n\n\n  \n \n \n \nParticipation is upon registration only\, please use this form to register. \nLearn more about the seminar’s objectives and program. \nContact: Clément Marquet \nCredit Photo : Christo Sims\, Communication Department\, University of California\, San Diego URL:https://i3-cnrs.fr/en/evenement/seance-commune-aux-groupes-de-travail-capitalisme-numerique-et-ideologies-et-politiques-environnementales-du-numerique-du-gdr-internet-ia-et-societe/ LOCATION:Paris et en distanciel CATEGORIES:Seminaires ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://i3-cnrs.fr/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Politiques-environnementales-du-numerique.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20230420T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20230420T160000 DTSTAMP:20230403T135546Z CREATED:20230403T135102Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230403T135546Z UID:17270-1681999200-1682006400@i3-cnrs.fr SUMMARY:Session of the Digital Environmental Policy Seminar will welcome Stéphane Crozat DESCRIPTION:The next session of the Seminar on Digital Environmental Policies \norganized by the Center for the Sociology of Innovation (CSI Mines Paris – PSL) \nand the Center for Internet and Society (CIS) will be held on \nThursday April 20\, 2023 – 2-4pm \nby visioconference \n  \nStéphane Crozat \nCOSTECH – Connaissance\, Organisation et Systèmes Techniques\, Compiègne University of Technology \n  \n  \nLow-technicisation et numérique \n \nLe séminaire est accessible sur inscription\, merci d’utiliser ce formulaire. \nEn savoir plus sur les attendus et le programme du séminaire \nContact : Clément Marquet \n\nCredit Photo : Stéphane Crozat\, COSTECH\, UTC.

The seminar will take place on Wednesday 05 April 2023 at 16:00 in Salle Vendome. \nClaire will talk about here research on: \nRacial Inequality\, Minimum Wage Spillovers\, and the Informal Sector \nThis paper studies how a national minimum wage affects wages\, and in particular\, racial earnings disparities in a middle-income country with a large informal sector. Our context is the Brazilian economy\, characterized by persistently large racial disparities and the availability of detailed labor force surveys and administrative matched employer-employee data with information on race. We analyze the effect of large increases in the minimum wage that occurred between 1999 and 2009. Using a variety of research designs and identification strategies\, we obtain three main findings. First\, the increase in the minimum wage erased the racial earnings gap up to the 10th percentile of the national wage distribution and up to the 30th percentile in the lowest wage region\, the Northeast. Second\, there is no evidence of significant reallocation of workers from the formal sector to the informal sector. This can be explained by the fact that the minimum wage is de-facto binding in the informal sector (excluding agriculture\, domestic workers\, and the self-employed). Third\, we do not find evidence of significant dis-employment effects\, or of white-nonwhite labor-labor substitution. As a result\, the minimum wage increases of the 2000s led to a large decline in the economy-wide racial income gap in Brazil. \nPaper: http://www.clairemontialoux.com/files/DGLM2021.pdf \nSlides: https://www.dropbox.com/s/weql5poukahyyjk/DGLM_slides_NBERSI.pdf?dl=0 URL:https://i3-cnrs.fr/en/evenement/cerna-research-seminar-will-welcome-claire-montialoux-uc-berkeley/ LOCATION:Mines Paris PSL\, 60 boulevard saint Michel\, Paris\, France CATEGORIES:Seminaires ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://i3-cnrs.fr/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Cerna-Research-seminar-e1684852191913.png ORGANIZER;CN="Dennis Rickert":MAILTO:dennis.rickert@mines-paristech.fr END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Paris:20230331T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Paris:20230331T160000 DTSTAMP:20230321T160741Z CREATED:20230321T160257Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230321T160741Z UID:17253-1680271200-1680278400@i3-cnrs.fr SUMMARY:The seminar Economic expertise and environmental actions will welcome François Thoreau and Bregje van Veelen DESCRIPTION:This session will explore the tentative ecological transformation of agricultural business by focusing on cattle breeding. It will consider the assemblage\, promises and limits of two infrastructures oriented towards the greening of farming: genomic infrastructure and green finance.   \nFrançois Thoreau (SPIRAL\, University of Liège) – Genomic infrastructure as ecological remediation ? \nGenomic infrastructure proposes to redefines bodies and the ways to approach them. However\, it does so in very different fashions for humans (medical endeavors) and for animals (livestock farming). Genomic infrastructure performs a distinct way of approaching life by decomposing it into large data ensembles and subsequently re-compositing it according to various uses – therapeutic\, productive\, etc. Focusing on the case of cattle breeding\, the presentation proposes to characterize this infrastructure as re-mediation\, that is as the manufacturing of peculiar kinds of relations\, hence\, as a proposal for new relational ethics. Specifically\, it will interrogate the ecological promises of genomic infrastructure: healthier animals with better resistance to stress and diseases and longer life-expectancy\, more biologically diverse herds\, or less greenhouse gas emissions. Would genomic infrastructure be\, finally\, the perfect technofix? \nBregje van Veelen (LUCSUS\, Lund University) – Milking the system? The role of green finance in decarbonizing agriculture \nDespite growing calls to make financial flows consistent with Paris Agreement goals\, to date little is known about the environmental and climate impact of ‘green finance’. Drawing on literature which explores how resources are assembled for investment\, I explore where green finance ‘lands’. I do this by tracing the implementation of a green financial instrument\, the Green Schuldschein\, issued by a multinational dairy company. I show that flows of green finance in the agricultural sector are unlikely to land in places where they can have the most significant climate impact\, but rather in places where they remain distant from nature’s unruly qualities. This highlights the importance of examining both financial and the extra-economic relations of the wider fields in which new ‘green’ financial instruments are situated to assess their potential environmental impact.   \n \nFrançois Thoreau (SPIRAL\, University of Liège) is Associate Professor at Liège University and a Research associate from the F.R.S.-FNRS with Spiral (ULiège). He works on  interdisciplinary issues with sciences and technologies in society\, at the locus between social sciences and health-environment issues. He was funded with a Starting Grant from the ERC (2021-2026) for the project “The BoS” (The Body Societal: Unfolding Genomics Infrastructure in Cattle Livestock Selection and Reproduction).

She researches how low-carbon transition pathways emerge and evolve\, and how they can be implemented in a way that is democratic and fair.

Grâce à la mise au travail intense des « ficelles du métier » de la communication déployées lors des formations offertes par toutes les institutions universitaires engagées dans le concours\, les participants s’affrontent entre eux dans un tournoi où la vulgarisation scientifique régresse à mesure que s’affirme le geste promettant dorénavant si commun dans l’organisation néolibérale des sciences sur projet. Mais là où le show « fun et sexy » l’emporte\, que reste-t-il de l’éthique du travail ? \nMy thesis in 180 seconds. When science becomes a spectacle \nAt a time of scientific controversies through tweets and Facebook messages\, why a long-term sociological investigation dedicated to “My thesis in 180 seconds”? Three researchers answered affirmatively. This book\, which results from four – unquiet – years of work\, details the rapid installation of a competitive and playful device in the field of higher education that encourages doctoral students to question their relationship with the rules of the scientific profession. Thanks to the intense work of communication “tricks of the trade” deployed during training courses provided by all the academic institutions involved in the competition\, the participants compete against one another in a tournament where scientific popularization regresses as the promising gesture\, so common in the neoliberal organization\, of project-based science takes hold. But where the “fun and sexy” show prevails\, what remains of the work ethic? \nJean-Marc Corsi\, Jean Frances et Stéphane Le Lay\, Ma thèse en 180 secondes.
