  Does the automation of mathematics, intrinsic to computers, make it impossible for the human brain to apprehend the essence of computational reason? We routinely trust computers with the task of calculations we cannot even comprehend, and whose formalism necessitates a level of abstraction distinct from all discernible particular realities. The end-results of these formal calculations then necessitate an act of translation/treason into natural language. In other words, the understanding of situations considered "complex" can only be attained today through a series of formal calculations which are absolutely unintelligible.

  Socio-linguistics and urbanisation. The foundations / refoundations of a discipline

  Doctoral seminar for the epistemological questionning of socio-linguistics

  Si l’on peut admettre que la sociolinguistique urbaine procède (comme d’autres disciplines du champ des recherches sociales) du tournant de la spatialité et de ce fait d’une quasi-médiation épistémique des concepts de la sociolinguistique générale, on ne doit pas, par ailleurs, faire l’économie de conceptualisations spécifiques la concernant tout autant que de la penser dans une tradition de recherche fructueuse. Les ateliers de recherche ont pour objectif d’organiser régulièrement des moments de réflexion collective autour des questions fondatrices de la sociolinguistique confrontées à des dynamiques socio-langagières émergentes et à des réalités sociales prégnantes. Il sera question de construire l’épistémologie de la sociolinguistique urbaine en tant que sociolinguistique des discours etdes formes de pluralités.
