  Techno-realities and affective creations - love simulation games

  Les jeux de simulation amoureuse

  The techno-realities are seen as a threat to human relationships in “real” life, in particular when they relate to love. Such human-shaped products however multiply: domotic spouse, tactile screen’s boyfriend, holographic companion, bride for Virtual Reality glasses, interactive downloadable partner, otome games and bishôjo games characters... The purpose of this symposium is to analyze Love Simulation Devices as signals allowing users to express a variety of messages, even contradictory ones, yet to be deciphered within their specific contexts. Working on the Japanese products will provide a revealing insight of processes that still have not been analyzed and may serve as an eye-opener in the field of comparative studies in the western cultures.

  Men, landscapes and the practices of wine

  « L’homme aime le vin comme l’ami qu’il a choisi, par préférence, non par obligation » Roger Dion, Histoire de la vigne et du vin, Paris, Flammarion, 1959. Ainsi en est-il des Français depuis fort longtemps et, plus récemment, des Japonais. Ces deux journées permettront de s’interroger sur les possibilités de développement du vin japonais mais aussi de considérer dans les deux pays le vin comme un outil de mise en valeur des territoires. Merveilleux outil de dialogue des cultures, il révèle, des paysages à la table, une domestication des pratiques de boisson entre l’Europe et le Japon.
