Figures and Perspectives on the Mass and the Individual in Capitalist Modernity (19th-21st century)

How is it possible to use the notion of mass without making it collapse into a complete condemnation of collective action or into an acritical celebration of the crowd? From there on, the relationship between mass and individual can be addressed in many fashions: Are there any specific ways for the mass to organize itself as a political subject? What are means whereby artworks represent and transform the linkage between mass and individual? What are the mutations undergone by the mass qua object of the social sciences? How does capitalist modernity affect the moral and psychic autonomy of individuals?

Stages of Utopia and Dissent, 50 years on...

15 May 1968: the Odeon theatre in Paris is occupied by students and becomes the insurgent headquarters where every night militants recount the days' action in occupied factories to an audience of people camping in the auditorium. Youth rebellion was never as mythologised as that of the French students’ fight against institutional oppression. The effects were felt across the Channel, too – but the nature of those effects was, and remains, disputed. 50 years on… where are we? What remains of autogestion and emancipatory education? What remains of theatre inventiveness and sedition? What remains of a need for participatory audiences? What remains of utopia and dissent?

Marx, Semiotics and Political Praxis

This special issue of Open Cultural Studies will return to the work of Karl Marx to reflect on and engage with his coherent articulation of words and their use, of words and actions, and of the intellectual and the political. The coherence of his discourse and praxis offers tools to think through, if not seek to transform, the alienated semiotic landscape of our times as described by the Frankfurt school philosopheers, Jean Baudrillard, Frederic Jameson, Sloterdijk and Slavoj Žižek. To commemorate the 200th anniversary of Marx's birth, in this special issue we want to honour his 11th Thesis on Feuerbach: "philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point, however, is to change it."

Forms of creative action - what cultural practices for emancipation today?

Cette journée entend interroger le potentiel émancipateur des pratiques culturelles. Quelles sont les manières de faire, les modes d’organisation et de production à l’œuvre dans le champ social, culturel et artistique ? Quelles formes prennent aujourd’hui des activités de création non conditionnée qui amorcent un processus de subjectivation ? Dans quelle mesure de telles pratiques portent-elles leurs propres théorisations et font-elles l’objet de reprises et de réappropriations au sein d’une culture et d’un savoir partagés ? Comment se matérialise un agir créatif collectif ?

Les Causeries du Labocoop journal issue no.2

L’idée de dédier ce deuxième numéro aux liens entre éducation populaire et mouvements sociaux a émergé lors d’une rencontre de chercheur·ses en éducation populaire organisée par le Labocoop en octobre 2015, s’inscrivant pleinement dans les questionnements actuels autour de l’éducation populaire politique. Alors que nous nous demandons quel rôle peut jouer l’éducation populaire dans les luttes sociales et qu’est-ce que les mouvements sociaux produisent en terme d’éducation populaire, les mobilisations contre la COP21 et l’état d’urgence annoncent les prémices d’un mouvement social d’ampleur qui fleurira au printemps 2016 pour protester contre « la loi Travail et son monde ».

What instruments for amateurs in the context of "fablabs"?

Cette conférence coordonnée par l’Institut de recherche et d’innovation du Centre Pompidou s'inscrit dans le cadre du projet FabLab2 (http://fablabsquared.org/). Elle portera sur la figure de l’amateur dans les Fablabs et s’interrogera sur la manière dont on peut l’accompagner (conceptuellement, institutionnellement, technologiquement), ainsi que sur la portée sociétale de ce mouvement de réappropriation des technologies.
