  Medicine through the microscope

  Les savoirs médicaux sont de plus en plus souvent soumis à l'épreuve de la délibération. Réunions de concertations pluridisciplinaires sur des clas cliniqes, comités éthiques dans les hôpitaux, commission des agences sanitaires, groupes de travail pour l'élaboration des recommandations médicale, expertises collectives ou réunions de synthèse entre équipes médico-sociales : les espaces dans lesquels des collectifs discutent de la médecine se multiplient. Qu'ils traitent de situations individuelles ou statuent sur des normes générales, édictant parfois des recommandations et des orientations, ces espaces ont en commun de répondre à une demande d'expertise et de mobiliser des savoirs scientifiques, au premier rang desquels les savoirs médicaux. Ils répondent également à une double exigence de participation (convoquer les parties prenantes de la question traitée) et de délibération.

  The design of interactive works and design methodologies

  Avec le développement massif des outils et supports numériques connectés, on assiste ces dix dernières années à la production, la diffusion et la circulation d’une grande variété d’œuvres interactives : web-documentaire, fiction interactive, narration ludifiée, serious game, livre augmenté, installation immersive et performative, dispositif de réalité augmentée, virtuelle, mixte, etc. Au-delà de leurs spécificités, ces interface-films (Di Crosta, 2009) mélangent un flux audiovisuel linéaire et une interface graphique propre aux médias informatisés (Jeanneret, 2007).

  Constructing Kurgans

  Burial mounds and funerary customs in the Caucasus, Northwestern Iran and Eastern Anatolia during the Bronze and Iron Age

  The tradition of burying the dead in burial mounds (kurgans), usually consisting of a funerary chamber limited by stone or brickslabs and covered by dirt and gravel, started in the fourth millennium BCE in the northern Caucasus and then spread south to the rest of the Caucasus regions, eastern Anatolia and northwestern Iran during the Bronze Age and Iron Age. The spread of the kurgan tradition, as well as the territorial, political, social, and cultural values embedded in their construction and their symbolic relation to the surrounding landscape are under debate. The workshop aims to examine chronological issues, cultural dynamics at inter-regional scale, rituals and burial patterns related to these funerary structures. The beliefs and ideologies that possibly connected the "kurgan people" over such a wide geographical area, as well as past and present theoretical frameworks, will also be discussed.

  The Aesthetic Potential of the Virtual: Device, Form, Idea

  Le concept de virtuel est une notion très riche et polysémique, qui s'étend de l'esthétique aux domaines scientifiques. Sa plasticité conceptuelle rend donc nécessaire de tracer une cartographie méthodologique de ses problématiques philosophiques pour mieux s’orienter dans l'histoire des théories esthétiques, des technologies et des arts contemporains. Les propositions pourront entre autres être axées sur : la question de l’origine philosophique du virtuel; la définition d'une esthétique cinématographique du virtuel; les enjeux aussi bien esthétiques, éthiques que politiques d’une nouvelle économie virtuelle.

  Post-doctorate researcher – The psychology of the ancient world: cognition, social psychology, emotions

  Anchoring Work Package B

  The concept that is central in “Anchoring Innovation” is “anchoring”, connecting what is perceived as new to what is deemed already familiar. “Anchoring” has a substantial social-psychological component. It may depend on the way in which relevant social groups categorize conceptually and linguistically what they perceive as new; it relates to the way in which new input (of whichever nature) is processed cognitively, including what emotional reactions such input elicits; and to the way in which “the new” fits into the value systems of such groups (this includes the ways in which they relate to the past).

  Post-doctorate researcher in Coinage in Ancient Greece

  Anchoring Work Package 4

  The use of minted coins was one of the major innovations in the ancient world of the first millennium BCE. Invented in Lydia in the seventh century, coinage spread rapidly throughout the Greek world, first in the Greek cities in Asia Minor, next to Aegina and Athens and soon to the other cities across the Aegean and Mediterranean area. Before the introduction of minted coins, exchange was largely based on weights of precious metals, in smaller amounts weighed on scales, a practice to which striking fixed weights of metal seems just a small and logical step. Yet the swift success of coinage, evidenced by rapidly increasing number of Greek poleis adopting the new medium, shows that the potential of coins to surpass weighed bullion in practical use for all kinds of transactions was recognised early on.

  Post-doctorate researcher in Anchoring in/of Greek lyric poetry

  Anchoring work package 2

  The Hellenistic scholars canonized a group of nine lyric poets who composed their poetry in the archaic and early classical period (Alcaeus, Alcman, Anacreon, Bachylides, Ibycus, Pindar, Sappho, Simonides, Stesichorus). At least by this period, but probably earlier, they became the standard of Greek lyric compositions or themes in Greek literature, such as love (Sappho), drinking (Anacreon) or praise (Pindar). The aim of this post-doc project is to investigate how these poets relate to earlier or later traditions of Greek literature.

  Post-doctorate researcher in "Roman women: legal changes and finances"

  Anchoring Work Package 4

  The transition from republican to imperial rule is one of the main turning points in the history of the ancient world, which had profound consequences for the lives of Roman men and women. As the first emperor, Augustus anchored his multiple political innovations by presenting them as the restoration of the Roman Republic. As part of this restoration programme he posed as the restorer of traditional Roman moral values, issuing legislation to stimulate marriages within the elite and to curb adultery (the Leges Juliae de maritandis ordinibus and de adulteriis coercendis). The ius trium liberorum, which was part of this legislation, gave women sui iuris with three or more children full legal capacity over their property, thus paving the way for women’s civic engagement and public visibility, for instance as benefactresses in numerous cities of Italy and the provinces.

  Post-doctorate researcher in Anchoring Devices in Ancient Rhetoric

  Anchoring Work Package 1

  Ancient rhetoric offers a number of devices to anchor what is new, unfamiliar, dangerously attractive or perhaps even threatening in what is old, tried and tested, and familiar. Two concepts immediately spring to mind and they will determine the approach of this project. In the first place, loci communes in the sense of clichés, i.e., universal sayings or timeless expressions of moral beliefs commonly shared by people belonging to the same cultural community or society. These can form a background against which a particular new or controversial event or person can be framed in a positive or negative way. The second concept is oratio figurata, the umbrella term for theories and methods for phrasing particular new or controversial messages in acceptable terms, for purposes of safety, decency, or amusement.

  Africa narrates itself: media, opinions, influential figures

  These days communication and information are characterized by immediacy, speed, and interactivity. Facebook and Instagram accounts, YouTube channels, and blogs transmit a perpetual flow of information, shared videos, pictures, and other content which creates networks and incentivizes sharing in a constantly evolving language. Contemporary mass media therefore ensures that, today more than ever, people in African countries are at the same time autonomous producers and users of a debate, through partly traditional, partly innovative channels, about life in Africa and African communities’ identity, with a tale that travels across the borders of individual countries and the continent itself.

  Inequalities, marginalities and solidarities

  2017 - 2018

  Dans un contexte particulièrement troublé par la radicalisation du processus de mondialisation, par le développement de politiques d’inspiration néolibérale en Europe privilégiant des logiques de compétitivité plutôt que de solidarité et de redistribution équitable des richesses, par le développement d’antimouvements culturels prônant la violence…, nous assistons au retour de l’incertitude de l’existence. Les acteurs de l’intervention sociale doivent donc s’armer intellectuellement s'ils veulent identifier et comprendre les nouvelles questions sociales et culturelles et ainsi renouveler leurs pratiques sans renier les valeurs humanistes émancipatrices intrinsèques du « travail social ».
