Histories of Science/Histories of Art: Workshop to be Held in Boston November 3-5, 1995

Peter Galison：科学史/艺术史11月，哈佛大学和波士顿大学将举办一系列活动，旨在将学术注意力集中在科学史和艺术史之间的接口上，并引起公众对文化和技术问题的关注--既包括文化如何看待技术，也包括创造的技术如何产生特定的文化形式。根据这笔赠款，哈佛大学的加里森教授和波士顿大学的卡罗琳·琼斯教授将就这些问题召开一次国际研讨会。与会者将讨论关于跨越学科界限的特定主题的预先分发的文件。科学史学家、艺术史学家、文化史学家和哲学家参加了将于11月3日至5日在两所大学举行的研讨会。这个研讨会承诺加强艺术和科学历史学家之间日益增长的智力交流，从而弥合国家科学基金会和国家艺术和人文基金会之间的项目之间的差距。讲习班将为这一新兴的跨学科领域提供一个论坛，并促进丰富的思想交流，这可能成为评估过去成就的基础，并为探讨正在出现的大量新问题提供机会。

Peter Galison: Histories of Science/ Histories of Art In November, Harvard and Boston Universities are holding a series of events designed to focus scholarly attention on the interface between histories of science and histories of art, and to bring public attention to the issues of culture and technology -- both how culture views technology and how created technologies produced specific cultural forms. Under this grant, Professor Galison of Harvard and Professor Caroline Jones of Boston University are convening an international workshop on these issues. Participants are to discuss precirculated papers on specific themes that cross disciplinary boundaries. Historians of science, art historians, cultural historians and philosophers are participating in the workshop to be held November 3-5 at the two universities. This workshop promises to enhance the growing intellectual exchange between historians of art and science, thus bridging the gap between programs in NSF and the National Endowments for the Arts and the Humanities. The workshop will provide a forum for this emerging interdisciplinary area and promote a fertile exchange of ideas which may form a basis for assessing past accomplishments and an opening on the wealth of new questions that are appearing.
