History of 'Economics as Culture' 3rd Workhop
Friday, April 8th, 2011
Université de Cergy-Pontoise (France)
Les Chênes II, Salle des Thèses
10 am - 5.15 pm

This workshop, which is organized on behalf of THEMA (CNRS UMR 8184), 
EconomiX (CNRS UMR 7235) and the Cachan History of Social Science Group 
(H2S), brings together scholars from different disciplines to discuss 
from an historical vantage point, the place of economics in our culture. 
Below are some of topics that exemplify what will be at issue :
- To consider the interactions between art, literature and economics ;
- To discuss the interactions between cultural or artistic objects such 
as magazines, books, maps, photographs, paintings, graphs and economic 
thinking and to consider economic texts as cultural items and to reflect 
upon the consequences their physical form had on their reception.
- To consider economics as part of cultures (political, commercial, 
scientific, etc.) of past (including very recent past) societies ; in 
particular, to discuss the economic representations (or culture) of 
specific social groups such as merchants, workers, businessmen, etc.
