Cycle of conferences on crises, mutations and anticipations: thinking about futures in the Humanities and Social Sciences (December 2021 to June 2022), organized by the Institut SoMuM
Session 5 - Exploring possible imaginaries: futures, arts and fictions
January 27, 2022 - 10 am to 12:30 pm
For this last session, we will be interested in the ways in which the Humanities and Social Sciences mobilize hybrid approaches, between arts, fictions and sciences, to debate social problems and imagine possible futures. The four papers question, in their own ways, our imaginations by proposing sensory, fictional and playful experiences to their audiences.
Open to doctoral students (registration on ADUM), researchers and teacher-researchers. This lecture series is part of the Institut SoMuM 's Mediterranean Studies doctoral program.
