SUMMARY:Seminar Economic expertise and environmental actions: Shifting soil
DESCRIPTION:The seminar “Economic expertise and environmental actions” welcomes \nAnastasyia Halauniova and Laure Manach \n  \n  \nShifting soil\n \n  \nThis session will consider soils as the shifting support of human activities\, and as currently alterned by global warming. From the thawing of permafrost to the fate of carbon stored in soils\, how are the transformations of soils retraced and anticipated? How are they taken up in both territorial and atmospheric politics? \nAnastasyia Halauniova (Sciences Po\, CSO)\nMaking Eternity Last: Knowledge\, Thawing Permafrost\, and Stabilisation of Life in the Russian Arctic \nWhat happens when the earth upon which (economic) life unfolds is no longer stable? To answer this question\, I turn to permafrost—a geological phenomenon where the ground remains frozen for years but that is now thawing at an unprecedented scale due to rising air temperatures. As it thaws\, permafrost wreaks all sorts of havoc\, damaging infrastructure and releasing long-stored greenhouse gases into the atmosphere\, framing its thaw as both local and planetary threats. Drawing on archival and ethnographic research with Russian permafrost scientists and practitioners\, this presentation explores the role of permafrost expertise in the Soviet Union and Russia in shaping territorial development and environmental governance. It begins by tracing the emergence of permafrost science in the Soviet Union—a state where 65% of the territory was covered by permafrost—in response to the technical and economic challenges that builders and engineers encountered when realising state-led plans to colonise and industrialise the Arctic. It then unpacks the assumptions of permafrost scientists and engineers about the nature and temporality of this phenomenon\, particularly their expectation that frozen earth is a dynamic yet lasting presence—what I term “strategic eternalism.” Finally\, it examines a recent shift in the political understanding of permafrost\, from viewing it as a stable foundation to acknowledging it as a potentially unstable surface—a transition I call “strategic non-eternalism.”  As a result\, this presentation foregrounds how permafrost scientists and practitioners navigate conflicting expectations of simplifying permafrost processes for economic planning\, on the one hand\, with an acknowledgment of its inherent dynamism and instability\, on the other hand. By examining permafrost\, this talk historicizes and specifies concerns with “shifting soils\,” challenging the tendency to see the current focus on thawing permafrost as an apocalyptic rupture\, and instead offers a more situated account of engagements with the rhythms of freezing and thawing earth shaped by state-led extractivism and colonial aspiration. \nLaure Manach (Centre Alexandre-Koyré)\nThe future of soil carbon on a warming planet. The role of scientists in making soils a sink or source of CO2 emissions \nClimate policies aim to balance the planet’s “carbon budget”\, in particular by increasing the absorption capacity of carbon sinks such as the biosphere\, oceans and soils. Soil is one of the most important carbon sinks that can be optimized. On this theme\, France is playing a crucial role with the launch of the 4 per 1000 Initiative at COP21 in 2015\, which promotes management practices that enable carbon to be stored in soils. Soils are since then the subject of a promise: to make a significant contribution to the fight against climate change. However\, more and more scientists stress the risks that soils will become a source of carbon under a warming climate. How come such different visions of soils under climate change coexists today? Drawing from an empirical investigation into soil science and soil knowledge in France and abroad\, I will explore those claims regarding the future of soil carbon\, and argue that they are grounded in different research communities\, conducting to different anticipations. \n  \n \nAnastasyia Halauniova is an urban sociologist from Belarus studying radical disturbances that cities and their residents undergo\, from state annexation and war to environmental crises. Her work is set in places that we usually call postsocialist\, where she follows city residents’ restless attempts to maintain and upgrade built environments that are either symbolically or materially degrading. Currently\, she is exploring the central role of thawing permafrost in the Arctic urban life. She is conducting a historical and an ethnographic study of Russian and Norwegian settlements on Svalbard to tell the story of places that can no longer rely on the presence of stable and frozen Arctic grounds. \nLaure Manach is a PhD candidate at au CAK – Centre Alexandre-Koyré – EHESS and is preparing a thesis entitled ‘Investigating the reconfiguration of soil science in the era of climate change’. This research has three main objectives: (i) to trace the recent history of soil science\, including the role of technological developments and infrastructures such as mapping and digital modelling; (ii) to analyze the significance of these developments and the way in which they are reconfiguring the role and professional identities of researchers and experts in these fields; (iii) to inform on the evolution of soil science towards a regulatory science on which public and private sector decisions are based\, using the development of measurement tools and standards to account for the storage potential of soils. \n \nInformation and registration\n\n\n\n  \nDate: Friday April 4\, 2025\, 11am-1pm \nVenue: École des Mines\, 60 boulevard Saint Michel\, 75006 Paris\, salle Chevalier. \nThe session will also be streamed by videoconference. The link will be sent upon registration just before the seminar. \nThe seminar is open to all.

SUMMARY:Invitation to the launch of the third cycle of the Business Theory Chair
DESCRIPTION:The chair was created in 2015 with the ambition of rethinking corporate law based on its creative power and the responsibilities associated with it. The notion of the “mission-driven company” was one of its key proposals. Introduced by the 2019 Pacte law\, there are now almost 2\,000 mission-driven companies\, and research can now discover the diversity of their workings as well as the originality of the systemic dynamics they generate. But the deployment of mission companies is also enabling us to explore new avenues for bringing about the necessary collective transitions. \nThe third cycle of the Chair will continue the study of mission-driven companies\, their functioning and impact\, and their possible applications on a European scale. In addition to looking at individual companies\, the Chair will also broaden its scope of research into the conditions that foster collective transitions. Today\, uniform regulations and coordination around major scenarios are increasingly contested. To what extent can we design collective transitions on other bases\, based on local trajectories or differentiated modes of governance? What principles could guarantee sustainable management of activities\, at individual\, ecosystem and global levels? \nWe invite you to the launch of this third cycle\, at which we will present a review of past research and the three axes of the new scientific program: \n\nDevelopments in mission-based companies: what practical inventions and what effects? How do they relate to sustainability regulations? European perspectives?\nNew models for collective transitions: what management principles? Between “double materiality” and planning\, what other criteria can be proposed to assess sustainable\, efficient and fair management? Can the analysis of interdependencies between activities and ecosystems suggest principles – of reporting\, investment\, solidarity – adapted to the transitions to be led?\nTowards a new normative order: management standards and “interpellation rights”. From the responsibility of the legal entity to the status of the manager\, the notion of “mission” invites us to rethink the frameworks that make up creative collectives\, with control mechanisms\, but also based on management standards that allow them to be contested or challenged by third parties.\n\n  \nTo register \nProgramme\nOuverture\nGodefroy Beauvallet\, Directeur Mines Paris\, PSL Université \nPrésentation du programme de recherche : avancées et nouvelles perspectives \nKevin Levillain et Blanche Segrestin\, Mines Paris – PSL\, coordonnateurs de la chaire  \nSociétés à mission : nouvelles dynamiques et horizons européens \nValérie Brisac\, déléguée générale de la Communauté des Entreprises à Mission \nMickael Ristaniemi\, Legal and Policy Officer\, Commission européenne \nGouvernances locales\, transitions globales : nouveaux enjeux pour la recherche  \nJeroen Veldman\, professeur de corporate governance\, Nyenrode Business Universiteit  \nJérémy Lévêque\, post-doctorant\, Mines Paris – PSL   \nTransitions écologiques : le défi des nouvelles compétences  \nAntoine Frérot\, Président de Veolia  \nArmand Hatchuel\, professeur émérite\, Mines Paris – PSL \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Seminar ‘Maintaining. Architecture and maintenance\, what we care about’
DESCRIPTION:  \nMaintaining in common: \nco-ownership beyond the infraordinary \n  \nFor this second session entitled ‘Maintaining in common: co-ownership beyond the infraordinary’\, we propose to investigate together the field of housing maintenance by focusing on co-ownership and its actors. \nAs the PUCA (Plan Urbanisme Construction Architecture / Urbanism Construction Architecture Plan) research program points out\, condominiums remain little studied by the social sciences\, even though they represent a third of French housing. Examining the notion of commons through the prism of wear and tear rather than use\, this session explores\, through stories and the figure of the condominium architect\, the forms of diplomacy and resistance forged between a building\, a community of actors\, and a relationship to time defined primarily by legal continuity. \n \n\nParticipation is free but registration is required. Please register here.\nAttendance is limited. Kindly let us know if you are unable to attend. \nThe seminar will be held in French. \n\nOrganized by architectural agency SCAU and Jérôme Denis.\nLearn more about the objectives and the program of the seminar \n \n\nPhoto : Wim Wenders\, Perfect days\, 2023\, Master Mind.

SUMMARY:CERNA Research Seminar will welcome Nicolas Schutz (Mannheim)
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce that Nicolas Schutz (Mannheim) will be the next speaker in our CERNA Research Seminar. The seminar will take place on Tuesday\, April 15\, 2025\, at 12 AM in Salle Vendôme. \n\nNicolas will present his paper: \n  \nOligopoly\, Complementarities\, and Transformed Potentials \n(joint with Volker Nocke) \n  \nWe adopt a potential games approach to study multiproduct-firm pricing games where products can be local complements or substitutes. We show that any such game based on an IIA demand system admits an ordinal potential\, giving rise to a simple proof of equilibrium existence. We introduce the concept of transformed potential\, and characterize the class of demand systems that give rise to multiproduct-firm pricing games admitting such a potential\, as well as the associated transformation functions. The resulting demand systems allow for substitutability or complementarity patterns that go beyond IIA\, and can resemble those induced by “one-stop shopping” behavior. \n  \nThe paper Nicolas will present is below in case you want to have a look at it in advance. \nPaper of  Nicolas Schutz-Jan2025 \n

SUMMARY:We are pleased to announce that Clément Malgouyres (CREST) will be the next speaker in our CERNA Research Seminar
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce that Clément Malgouyres (CREST) will be the next speaker in our CERNA Research Seminar. \nClement will present his paper: \nEscaping Labor Scarcity: Innovation and Human Capital after WW1 in France \nWe use quasi-random local variations in the number of young men who died as a result of World War I to estimate the impact of this demographic shock on innovation and structural change in France. Our analysis shows that excess mortality led to an increase in patenting activity in counties with high pre-war education levels\, driven predominantly by innovations in labor-saving technologies. Our estimates imply that an additional 6\,000 patents were filed in the 15 years following the war\, amounting roughly to the average annual number of patents filed pre-war. On the contrary\, we show that the direct death of inventors (as opposed to general mortality) has a negative effect on subsequent patenting activity. We find a positive association between war-related mortality and wage growth as well as with the adoption of machines in the agricultural sector\, providing additional evidence that incentives to escape labor scarcity are driving the innovation response to mortality. \nThere will be an opportunity to schedule individual meetings with Clément before the seminar. \nPlease enter your preferred time slot here

SUMMARY:Seminar Digital environmental policies: Laura Kocksch (Aalborg University Copenhagen)
DESCRIPTION:The seminar ‘Digital environmental policies’ welcomes \n  \nLaura Kocksch \nThe Techno-Anthroplogy Lab at Aalborg University Copenhagen \n  \nFragile computing: \nDirections for developing post-optimistic technologies \n \n  \nOne easily identifies both optimistic and pessimistic stories of digital technologies in science\, policy and public: Some say\, technologies aid development\, help monitor climate change\, are agents of optimisation and efficiency and therefore inevitable to prevent more harm to the planet. Others content\, technologies enforce Northern ideals of progress\, they are heating and energy eating machines\, and humankinds’ reliance on them has rendered us suspectable to various cyber attacks.  \nIn this talk\, I attempt to develop post-optimistic\, yet not pessimistic\, directions for developing digital technologies. Drawing on STS and Environmental Anthropology\, I argue that engineers and social scientist can find inspiration in frugal yet not heroic technological practices. Digital technologies are neither omnipotent dangers\, nor are they cosy companions; they decay\, require attention\, are patched\, insecure\, well-known\, bite back\, are uneasy and remain broken. \nI present two empirical examples: cybersecurity practices in small- and medium-sized companies in Denmark and fibre optic data cable repair on the lithic seabed of the Faroe Islands. The first example unfolds how companies with limited resources and aging technologies handle perpetual attacks and anxiety in one of the most digital countries of the world. The second example engages with digital infrastructures as contested materiality in the North Atlantic\, both an object of security and climatic conditions. \nFragile Computing attends to the pain points of digital technologies: encountering dilemmas between security and sustainability\, robustness and fluidity\, planning ahead and perishing. The outcome is neither naïve hope\, nor depression; it is neither praising the local heroes\, nor shaming incompliance. The outcome are complicated normativities and theories\, fragile in themselves\, responsive to more than one way of creating digital technologies. STS is the place to start this development of post-optimistic\, yet not hopeless\, digital technologies. \n\nLaura Kocksch is Assistant Professor in the Techno-Anthropology Lab of Aalborg University in Copenhagen. She is author of “Fragile Computing – How To Live With Insecure Technologies”\, an ethnographic study of cybersecurity in critical infrastructures. Her current work focuses on digital infrastructure in the warming North Atlantic (Greenland\, Iceland and the Faroe Islands) and cybersecurity in small companies and communities. \n  \n \n \n  \nThe seminar will be held by videoconference. Participation is upon registration only. \nLearn more about the seminar’s objectives and program \n  \n  \n \nPhoto source : Laura Kocksch\, Aalborg University Copenhagen.\nBigOakFlickr (2015). “Computer Keyboard”.
