Trajectories of evidence

What are the techniques, discourses, temporalities and actors involved in the elaboration, performance and dissemination of evidence? In the wake of philosophy and pragmatic sociology, which have long concerned the question of investigation and evidence, this dossier explores the multiple trajectories of evidence in the legal, journalistic, medical, scientific and artistic spaces in which it takes shape. It examines the collection of traces and their transformation into evidence in the light of their singular topographies - intimate (the body), material (images, archives), or more abstract (mathematical operations). This processual approach pays particular attention to the uncertainty inherent in the stages of qualification, verification, debate and narration, which may or may not transform a trace into evidence. The fields of investigation approached here go beyond the judicial sphere. They involve intermediaries in the work of proof, whether informally or more institutionally. Moreover, the dossier look at the new techniques of identification, monstration and demonstration, which can reconfigure the role of the witness and the expert. The aim is to better understand how the multiplication of actors, forms and areas of investigation change investigative practices and the epistemology of evidence.

Social sciences and humanities at work (II): The politics of research data

Faced with a number of contradictory injunctions, researchers have engaged in controversies and debates. Given the many questions and concerns that the current "data moment" provokes, this special issue proposes to take a step back and reflect on our trade and practices.
