Producing knowledge and technologies at the boundaries of scientific institutions
Morgan Meyer
The exploration of amateurs in natural history, garage biology or the self-construction of agricultural equipment has the common interest of leading to places, practices and collectives that are located outside or at the boundaries of scientific institutions. It is not only because they force us to look beyond laboratories, universities and research centres that alternative ways of producing knowledge, manufacturing equipment and creating networks constitute a relevant research theme. Their relevance also lies in what they afford: another look at science, its limits, its hierarchies, its confinements. […]

The Mushroom at the End of the World. On the possibility of Life in Capitalist Ruins
Nassima Abdelghafour
The Mushroom at the End of the World. On the possibility of Life in Capitalist Ruins, published by Princeton University Press in 2015, is the latest book by anthropologist Anna Tsing. It is about a wild mushroom called matsutake, which has been appreciated as a delicacy and a fine gift for centuries in Japan because of its aromatic qualities. After World War II, as Japan industrialized, forests were felled and peasants stopped tending to the communal woodlands (called satoyama) in the traditional way. The landscapes where matsutake once thrived disappeared, and by the 1970s matsutake had become very hard to come by in Japan. The book follows the global supply chains that procure matsutake to the Japanese market…
Innovation et participation. Approches critiques
Book edited by Brice Laurent, Michael Baker, Valérie Beaudouin and Nathalie Raulet-Croset
“Co-creation”, “open innovation” or “responsible innovation” are some of the new expectations of innovation. This new innovation repertoire is used in companies, public authorities and civil society organisations. It translates into instruments (digital platforms, collaborative spaces, etc.) dedicated to renewing the relationship between innovation and its audiences, and allowing to consider innovation as a participatory process. How does participation manifest itself in innovation processes? What are the economic and political…
« Avec » Antoine Hennion : de la Passion Musicale aux êtres fragiles
A l’initiative de son directeur scientifique Alexandre Monnin, Origens Medialab, dont est membre Antoine Hennion, organise du 24 au 26 septembre 2018 un colloque intitulé « Avec » Antoine Hennion : de la Passion Musicale aux êtres fragiles.
Argument du colloque :
Il y a vingt-cinq paraissait La Passion musicale, illustration par le geste de la sociologie de la médiation d’Antoine Hennion, qui, parallèlement aux travaux développés dans le champ des sciences et des techniques par Bruno Latour et Michel Callon, puis Madeleine Akrich, ouvrit l’ANT (théorie de l’acteur-réseau) à de nouveaux terrains, dans les champs jusqu’alors inexplorés par cette dernière de l’art et de la culture. Cet anniversaire…
