EXPERIENCE - EXPERIMENTATION - CRITICAL THINKING
Conference by Daniel Estevez

In digitalized post-pandemic human activity, the weakening of experience, failing its complete cancellation, seems to be an inevitable horizon. For pragmatist approaches to architecture, this perspective is inadmissible, things exist by the fact that we experience them. In any situation, knowing and doing are the same thing, the practitioner, the poet, the artist and even the scientist, technician and architect tell us.

Regional and global recompositions within and across the Eastern fringes of the European Union: new frontiers, territorial ambitions and mental maps

SEMINAR MSH Bordeaux Project AAP 2022
Regional destructuring and recompositions in the East of the European Union: borders, territorial ambitions and mental maps (DESRUATE)

Regional dynamics within and across the Eastern borders of Europe have undergone a succession of path-breaking transformations since the invasion of Ukraine. These range from increasingly overt support to the Ukrainian war effort to decouple from the Russian economy and an unprecedented boost to the expansion of the European Union's security architecture. The inflow of millions of Ukrainian exiles into Eastern Europe has also and simultaneously triggered the de facto transformation of their disregard for immigration, while the EC and member-states have formally agreed to fast-track the opening of negotiations towards a full membership of Ukraine and Moldova. The war in Ukraine represents in this respect a particular set of challenges to processes of (de)bordering in the EU and their conceptualization. By contrast, yet closely related, Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine has combined unyielding disregard for international law, with commitment to patterns of regional integration that, while formally aspiring to be the nemesis of the EU, remain evocative of the governance and mental maps associated with the coercive (hub and spoke driven) integration practiced within colonial federations or, more specifically, within the Russian empire and, subsequently, the Soviet Union.

THE LIVING ARTS FIELD
Stories, methods, practices

International conference

Project MSH Bordeaux AAP 2022
The Field in living arts: stories, methods, practices (ARTSTERRAIN)

In recent years, numerous research projects have been based on “field” work at the crossroads of the performing arts and the human and social sciences.
The field, as it is defined in anthropology and sociology, is both a method, a way of producing data, and a concrete experience which reflects the complexity of practices and lifestyles. The conference will question the place of the researcher, their positions and their commitment in the field. Participant observation, observant participation, the objectification of participation, commitment and restitution methods will constitute the heart of the methodological reflection. Rituals and festive practices, spectacular practices, notably dance, circus and music, will thus be studied, as well as the question of areas under tension in several cultural areas (Asian, American, African and European).

Educational Theaters in the 18th Century:
the child, the stage, the languages ​​(THED18)

Based on the anthology L'Enfant rêve (dir. M.-E. Plagnol-Diéval, Garnier; 2022), the THED18 project, “Educational theaters of the 18th century: the child, the stage, the languages ” invites to the dialogue on the educational discourse carried by the theater written for childhood and adolescence during the 18th century. At this time, the status of the child and pedagogy were profoundly transformed. THED18 will raise questions of dramaturgy and theatricality, aesthetic and linguistic questions, and social, moral and educational questions. Knowledge of theatrical literature intended for youth and that of its representations in the 18th and 19th centuries is still too fragmentary: THED18 aims to fill in the gaps. The European sources of the works and their sometimes international extensions in the 19th century also reveal an open field of study.

For an ethology of “voluntary servitude”
Interdisciplinary study day MSH Bordeaux

According to La Boétie, “custom” (habit) is a second nature that makes enslavement acceptable. The analogy between human behavior and animal behavior helps support this argument, but raises a question that has remained largely unanswered: is it possible to identify the anthropological or, conversely, ethological presuppositions of “voluntary servitude” ? The objective of this interdisciplinary workshop is to test this key notion of political philosophy by bringing together disciplines and researchers who question the foundations of the “human” and the “social”.

Paul Claval
New essay on the evolution of human geography.
Space, social sciences and philosophy Presses de l'Université de Pau et des Pays de l'Adour
"Sp@tialités" Collection

Taking advantage of the analysis of the positions of Carl Ritter and contemporary evolutionism, human geography grants, under its classic form, a large place for the long duration and the way in which the ways of life allow men to draw their subsistence from the environment. It is less attached to cities and the role of distance, although they are on its agenda, and which the New Geography of the 1950s and 1960s developed. The discipline, which then moved closer to the social sciences, was shaken by the challenges what they know. Poststructuralist geography draws from the analysis of Foucault's discursive formations and that of Bourdieu's habitus the place it grants to matrices of domination. The cultural approach breaks with functionalism, explores communication in greater depth, the role of imagination and the social institutionalization of the world, which allows it to shed light on current events.
