*Call for Papers*
*Workshop*
*Missions, Museums and Scientific Collections: When Missionaries Spread the
Word of Science*
*University of Le Mans, Le Mans/France*
*November 25 – 26, 2016*

With the organization of this international workshop, we hope to gather
historians, anthropologists, sociologists, philosophers and other
researchers to come back on the ambiguous ties that might have brought
missionaries and scientists together in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Missions and sciences have long been considered as irreconcilable opposites
in the study of missions and sciences alike – whether we speak of natural
sciences or the study of man and mankind. European missionaries often were
under the suspicion of reading the world and its inhabitants with “Biblical
spectacles”, which necessarily led to biased, erroneous, unscientific
analyses and conclusions. Yet many Christian missionaries stationed
overseas nourished an unbounded interest in anthropology, ethnology,
botany, or geology, both as amateurs and professionals, and therefore
contributed to the development of those sciences at home. Can one be a
thorough scientist and an avowed Christian? This question lies at the heart
of the many tensions and collaborations that led missionaries and
scientists to work together and confront their scientific materials and
findings, notably at the end of the 19th century and the turn of the 20th
century. Missionaries could sometimes be precious sources of data for
armchair scientists, or even theoreticians of natural and human sciences,
thanks mainly to their privileged position as “in-betweeners”, which
allowed them to collect information, artefacts, stories and other specimens
that were widely sought after by European institutions. Such collaborations
could be translated into the integration of missionaries to scientific
networks that welcomed them on a national and international stage (clubs
and societies) and published their findings in their journals and bulletins.

One of the most obvious manifestations of this growing interest in
collaboration was probably the active role that some French, British or
Swiz missionaries played in collecting artefacts directly from their
mission field, which was of course made easier by their linguistic skills
and their connections among the indigenous populations studied: among their
potential converts, they could find willing contributors who would help
them fill the stocks of European museums of anthropology for instance. This
workshop wishes to examine those overseas collaborations, those comings and
goings between Europe and overseas territories, which have not yet been
thoroughly looked into by historians of missions, historians of science and
historians of museums. Another aspect this workshop will echo is the
interest missionaries often nourished in the cultures and environment they
came from, leading them to collect both material and immaterial artefacts
when they were on furlough. This practice corresponds to the emergence of
the study of folklore in many European countries, which borrows its methods
to the burgeoning sciences of anthropology and ethnology in the second half
of the 19th century.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
·         Missions and natural sciences
·         Missions and the study of man and mankind
·         Missions and museums (both at home and in the colonies)
·         Missions and European folklore
·         Collaborations between missionaries and scientists, scientific
institutions and museums
·         Missionaries and professional and amateur networks of science
·         Joint history of missions and sciences

Funding is available to cover travel expenses and your staying in Le Mans.

Please send paper proposals (300-500 words, in French or in English) and a
short bio before *September, 15, 2016*, to Maud Michaud (
Maud.Michaud at univ-lemans.fr), Serge Reubi (serge.reubi at gmail.com), and
Vincent Vilmain (Vincent.Vilmain at univ-lemans.fr).
