Géologie des âmes

Géologie des âmes (“Geology of Souls”) evokes the idea that human subjectivities—both individual and collective—are as complex, profound, and stratified as the geology of the Earth.

Créateur.ices urgence climat

Créateur.ices Urgence Climat brings together the perspectives of artists, designers, and scientists to foster the emergence of new ways of thinking and concrete actions to combat the environmental crisis we face. This book stems from the conferences and podcasts held at the École nationale des arts décoratifs in 2022. These gatherings facilitated the exchange of artistic, scientific, anthropological, and philosophical practices by confronting them with major contemporary issues: habitat, eco-mobility, biodiversity, inclusion, and eco-feminism.

It's to “connect”, a term referring back to that of “religion” (from the Latin religare), a disposition conveyed by faith in something. Faith, on this occasion, in a new contract, the Social Contract of the 21st century, the Socio-Ecological Contract.

The second meeting, on Tuesday December 12 at 6.30pm, will define the culture, or rather cultures, of the Anthropocene through this methodological obligation: to qualify and specify its foundations: historical foundations, societal foundations, psychological foundations. When and how is “green consciousness” born? How does ecological thinking emerge? How does it affect our minds and bodies?
