  The utopia of globalised culture and the reality of local communication practices

  Communication and digital technology in Francophone sub-Saharan Africa

  The imaginary world surrounding digital communication seems to impose a vision that crushes cultural diversity. The Symposium aims to jointly explore the heterogeneity of uses, productions and issues raised by the meeting of globalised technology that is often Western-centred, with various cultures. The first edition will focus on Francophone sub-Saharan Africa, a multicultural territory where contemporary geopolitical contexts pose particularly vital issues for communications research. These issues are of interest mainly to the information and communication sciences community, but the contributions of researchers from various cultural and disciplinary horizons will make it possible to tackle this very broad problem of communication, especially digital, in sensitive areas, according to different complementary approaches.

  Breaking boundaries: academia, activism and the arts

  The international conference Breaking Boundaries: Academia, Activism and the Arts proposes to bring into focus and critically question common grounds and boundaries between and within the Humanities, political activity and aesthetic production.​At a time when boundaries are simultaneously questioned and reinforced – for example between geographical territories, political states, public and private spheres, gendered bodies, creative media, theory and practice, local and global, human, non-human and post-human – the question of what such frontiers stand for, and how and why they might be transgressed offers itself for and, indeed, urges discussion.

  Believing in technology - mediatisation of the future and the future of mediatisation

  Ce dossier se propose d’identifier, de mettre en exergue et d’interroger les caractéristiques et les enjeux de la médiatisation du futur de l’homme et de la société dans le contexte spécifique des croyances et dogmes de la foi en la technologie. Entendue comme une partie du processus de construction communicative de la réalité socio-culturelle actuelle d’un monde dans lequel la science conquise par l’intelligence artificielle est rattrapée par la religion, la médiatisation du futur, d’une part, agglutine les craintes d’une apocalypse où la prise technologique du contrôle sur la vie serait le sens de l’avenir de l’humanité, et, d’autre part, suscite l’espérance quasi évangélique d’une percolation salutaire de la technologie dans le corps humain et dans son environnement.
