  De l'insécurité numérique à la vulnérabilité de la société

  En s’hybridant avec les télécommunications, puis avec l’audiovisuel, l’informatique a favorisé le développement des techniques d’information et de communication (TIC) et la mise en réseau. Ces techniques qui se diffusent dans les espaces privés, publics ont une caractéristique commune : elles individualisent / autonomisent autant qu’elles accroissent notre dépendance. Appel à communications, colloque, Paris, 14-15 juin 2007.

We intend to focus on three interrelated themes. One theme concerns craft practices and the development of visualising technologies. The second theme concerns the historical relation between theory and image in the formation of scientific arguments.Third, there are the cognitive claims about reality that are made through images.

  Professions et société au Maghreb et au Machrek arabes

  Professions and society in the Arab Middle East

  L’élargissement de l’accès à l’enseignement supérieur depuis trois ou quatre décennies, dans les pays du Maghreb comme du Machrek arabe, s’est traduit par une évolution très importante de professions dont le statut était fondé autant sur la nature des savoirs détenus, que sur la mission qui leur était conférée dans le projet de développement. Le présent numéro de Savoir, Travail et Société voudrait rassembler quelques contributions significatives rendant compte des évolutions en cours dans le contexte particulier des pays arabes, tout en s’attachant à rappeler les conditions historiques d’émergence et de structuration des professions de niveau supérieur et intermédiaire, fondées sur l’acquisition d’un savoir spécialisé. Echéances: décembre 2006 et mars 2007
