  Grey linguistics. Appraisals and their contribution to the history of linguistics

  ICHoLS XV / workshop

  L’atelier se propose de délivrer le compte-rendu d’ouvrage (CR) de son statut de genre intermédiaire, marginal et méconnu (« unsung », Hyland 2000 : 43) au sein de l’historiographie linguistique. S’il est vrai que dans la construction du savoir scientifique son rôle n’est pas comparable à celui de l’article, néanmoins le CR constitue un lieu stratégique où les savants, au-delà des jugements techniques, manifestent ou consolident leur allégeance à un groupe particulier, engagent des relations personnelles, bousculent les frontières disciplinaires.

  Conference, symposium - Language

  Political Proust from the Europe of Goncourt 1919 to the Europe of 2019

  Le colloque a pour objectif d’examiner l’écho de l’œuvre de Proust sur d’autres auteurs, contemporains ou postérieurs à lui, pour étudier quelles politiques se dessinent dans les œuvres. Il vise à réenclencher les études proustiennes sur l’histoire, en étudiant les discours, les actions et les affects investis dans l’engagement littéraire, qu’il s’agisse de celui de Proust, de celui qu’il a inspiré ou de celui qu’on lui a dénié. Enfin, on examinera dans quelle mesure Proust peut, ou non, constituer une ressource vitale en temps de désastre.

  Seminar - Representation

  Thresholds III – “Avatar”

  Seminar of philosophy of image

  Recent evolutions in the contemporary iconoscape have enabled the production of pictures that elicit in the perceiver a strong feeling of “being there”, namely of being incorporated into new and autonomous environments. Subjects relating to such environments are no longer visual observers in front of images isolated from the real world by a framing device; they are experiencers living in quasi-worlds that offer multisensory stimuli and allow interactive sensorimotor affordances. In relation to such quasi-worlds, a key role is played by the avatar, a digital proxy through which subjects interact with synthetic objects or other avatars. The notion and the uses of the avatar are becoming crucial in a variety of disciplines, ranging from philosophy to visual culture studies, anthropology, sociology, cognitive psychology, and neurosciences. Also, they are raising relevant issues in the fields of ethics and politics.
