  Mental maps": between memory transcription and symbolic projection

  TRANSCRIPT

  The notion of "mental maps" will therefore be considered according to two different meanings and uses: 1) the internal representation of a space travelled through (cognitive map) and 2) the representation of a set of entities or concepts (mind map). The terms "memory transcription" can be understood as the translation and recording on a graphic support of elements present in the mind. The terms of "symbolic projection" are conceived as the fact of externalizing by the means of signs or symbols on a graphic support, the two types of representation: the representation of a traversed space or the representation of a set of entities or concepts. The points of contact, crossover, reversal, between what could be called "representation of space" and "space of representation" are little explored. How can we better apprehend the complex notion of "mental map"? The question of memory transcription? Of the "symbolic projection"? Can we identify meeting points between these two polarities and if possible a continuum?

  Paradigms, models, scenarios and practices in terms of strong sustainability

  While the notion of sustainability continues to be associated with the Brundtland Report (1987) and the concept of sustainable development, a community of sustainability researchers and practitioners increasingly seeks to emancipate the concept to be consistent with the knowledge and aspirations of the moment. The enthusiasm and expectations for more sustainability go beyond mere environmental issues. They touch on crucial social issues as well. The symposium papers intends to question the paradigms, models, scenarios and practices that embody sustainability. One may wonder what meaning should be given to the very idea of sustainability and the representations it conveys.

  René Thom day (2nd part)

  The morphological dimension of the sciences today

  Ce colloque international constitue la seconde partie du colloque Actualité de René Thom de décembre 2018 (voir ici). Dans les suites de ce premier évènement, il vise à approfondir les résultats entrepris au séminaire 2018-2019 autour de l’actualité de René Thom (Morphologies et dynamiques qualitatives : un projet interdisciplinaire) disponibles en ligne et d’autre part, à interroger la dimension morphologique et son actualité pour les sciences d’aujourd’hui. Il s’agit d’organiser un espace de réflexion en établissant une culture scientifique commune autour du concept dynamique de forme, étudiée en tant que déploiement, tout en proposant un dialogue avec l’œuvre de René Thom.
