  Access to Material and Immaterial Goods

  The Relationship between Intellectual Property and its Physical Embodiment

  This conference aims to look at the relationship between intellectual property and its physical materialisations, with a particular focus on the issue of access and the challenges of new technologies. Though intellectual property protects the intangible, it is indisputable that intellectual property goods classically had to be physically materialised in order to been joyed or used. This materialisation can, however, challenge our theoretical notion of the intangible and the tangible as constituting discrete forms of property and can have serious consequences on access to intellectual property goods. Our aim is to address the divide between the intangible and the tangible from the perspective of issues of access and problems relating to new technologies.

  À quel âge devrait débuter l’éducation sexuelle à la maison et à l’école ? Qui devrait se charger de l’éducation sexuelle : les parents et/ou les institutions ? Quelle éducation sexuelle les parents d'aujourd'hui pratiquent-ils durant la petite enfance de leurs enfants? Quels sont les thèmes qui devraient faire partie de l’éducation sexuelle des jeunes enfants (0-6 ans) ? Quelles sont les caractéristiques des programmes d’éducation sexuelle à l’école qui ont fait leur preuve ? Comment s’établit la collaboration entre les professionnel-le-s de l’éducation et du soutien à la famille avec les parents ? Sur quelles bases scientifiques et sur quels droits se fondent les expert-e-s et les décideurs pour institutionnaliser l’éducation sexuelle à l’école ? Telles sont les questions que ce colloque scientifique souhaite aborder à travers des conférences en la matière, des ateliers présentant les programmes d’éducation sexuelle effectivement mis en œuvre à l’école ainsi que des recherches en cours ou terminées dans le domaine.

  Visibility Matters: Rendering Human Origins and Diversity in Space and Time

  The conference aims at bringing together scholars from various disciplines who work on the visualization of human origins and diversity. A particular focus will be on the diagrammatic forms of representation. Strategies of diagrammatic representation typically employ a series of textual, symbolic, and pictorial elements. Such strategies may include, among others, specific ways of subjectification; the serialization, spatialization, and temporalization of data; the storage of standardized data sets; and staging techniques of protagonists, events, and processes, notably in the architecture of exhibitions, parks and museums, and through the medium of film and animation.
