FICTION and Social Sciences
International Conference – May 16 & 17, 2024 – MSH-SUD ( Espace Saint-Charles)
71 Rue du Professeur Henri Serre, 34090 Montpellier
Through this conference, we hope to create a space for discussion—a “community of language”—centered on fiction and its potential connections to anthropology, and more broadly to the social sciences. This theme is not new, as a conference was already held in 2014 at the University of Paris 1 titled “Fiction and the Social Sciences. Good and Bad Associations.” That conference explored the relationships of competition, collaboration, and complementarity between fiction and the social sciences. The conference we are organizing will provide an opportunity, on the one hand, to build on these reflections begun in 2014 and, on the other hand, to go beyond them in order to explore certain more recent uses of fiction in the social sciences, particularly through the concept ofthe “fictional investigation.”

The anthology*Le sport, un objet social*, recentlypublished by Éditions de l’Alliance Athéna, traces the effort to establish a national frameworkthathas been underway for several years, spearheaded by scholarly societies in the social and human sciences of sport—of which the December 2022 conference was just one example.
