  XVIII International Symposium on Civilizing Processes

  The National University of Colombia and the Department of Citizen Culture of the Secretary of Culture, Recreation and Sport of Bogota, Colombia have joined forces to organize the upcoming XVIII International Symposium on Civilizing Processes (SIPC). The SIPCs were born in 1996 on a Brazilian initiative and have been held every two years in Latin America to encourage the exchange of ideas and research results among scientists from various disciplines who find in Norbert Elias’ work a source of guidance in facing the challenges of today’s world and who share an interest in social sciences adjusted to reality.

  The brains that pull the triggers

  The transformation of groups of previously nonviolent individuals into repetitive killers of defenseless members of society has been a recurring phenomenon throughout history. This apparent transition of large numbers of seemingly normal, “ordinary” individuals, to perpetrators of extreme atrocities is one of the most striking variants of human behavior, but often appear incomprehensible to victims and bystanders and in retrospect even to the perpetrators themselves and to society in general. This transition is characterized by a set of symptoms and signs for which a common syndrome has been proposed, Syndrome E (Fried, Lancet, 1997). The purpose of such designation is not to medicalize this form of human behavior, but to provide a framework for future discussion and multidisciplinary discourse and for potential insights that might lead to early detection and prevention.

  The Brains that pull the Triggers

  Paris Conference on Syndrome E

  The transformation of groups of previously nonviolent individuals into repetitive killers of defenseless members of society has been a recurring phenomenon throughout history. This apparent transition of large numbers of so called “psychologically intact”, “ordinary” individuals, to perpetrators of extreme atrocities is one of the most striking variants of human behavior, but often appear incomprehensible to victims and bystanders and in retrospect even to the perpetrators themselves and to society in general. This transition is characterized by a set of symptoms and signs for which a common syndrome has been proposed, Syndrome E (Fried, Lancet, 1997). The purpose of such designation is not to medicalize this form of human behavior, but to provide a framework for future discussion and multidisciplinary discourse and for potential insights that might lead to early detection and prevention. The Brains that Pull the Triggers, a special conference under the auspices of the Paris Institute for Advanced Studies, will bring together scientists and scholars from the human, social and brain sciences along with guests from literature, politics, and law to bear upon this tragic invariant of the human condition.

  Réévaluer la gouvernance de l'internet. Éthique et politique dans les réseaux d'hommes et d'objets

  Journée d'étude Vox Internet II

  Réunion d'ICANN à Paris, lancement des Assises du numérique, l'internet et sa gouvernance sont fin juin sous les feux de l'actualité . Mais malgré le SMSI, l'objectif d'une gouvernance "transparente, multilatérale et démocratique" est confronté au statu quo. Le projet de recherche Vox Internet voudrait proposer un autre cadre d'analyse que la gouvernance procédurale pour aborder les promesses et limites de la participation de la société civile et celles de l'internet du futur. Une journée d'étude publique, organisée autour de quatre communications innovantes, vise à ouvrir des pistes pour la recherche et le débat.
