Cette matinée d'études permettra à trois de ses figures principales (Anne M. Lovell, Stefania Pandolfo et Veena Das) de présenter leurs recherches, conduites sur trois terrains extrêmement différents (la Nouvelle-Orléans après la catastrophe de Katrina, un bidonville de Rabat au Maroc et un quartier pauvre de Dehli), en dialogue avec une philosophe (Sandra Laugier) et un psychiatre (Richard Rechtman).
