777Area 1. Sensorialities: limits, materialities, and interactions/en/research-topics/research-topics-2025/777-axe-1-2025-EN
This theme is a continuation of research conducted at the Lesc on the exploration of forms of expression of sensoriality and emotions, as well as their materialities and bodily manifestations.
Work in this thematic area extends to the emotions and sensations as modes of expression and communication, as well as to perceptual apprenticeship and the incorporation of movement. It also raises the question of the limits of these experiences or their atypical forms, their performance as an object and tool of inquiry, and as a place of experimentation for anthropology.
Between sensory anthropology, medical anthropology, anthropology of science and technology, between linguistic anthropology and ethnomusicology, at the crossroads of cognitive, pragmatic, phenomenological, and interactionist approaches, this research area approaches sensoriality as a heuristic phenomenon that allows us to understand the interconnection of the biological, sensory, and social dimensions of human forms of life, at the level of inter-individual and infra-individual phenomena, grasped through temporalities spanning from experience captured in the moment through to that of geological depth.
Area 1. Sensorialities: limits, materialities, and interactions
Soutien à l'un de nos doctorants
Alors que les travaux de l’un de nos doctorants sont l’objet de violentes attaques sur internet, le Lesc tient à lui apporter publiquement son complet soutien. Ces attaques anonymes substituent au débat scientifique la manipulation, la malhonnêteté et le mépris. Cette expérience nous oblige dans un horizon proche à un travail collectif de clarification concernant les perspectives et les ambitions des pratiques associant sciences, design, arts et création. Ce travail ouvrira également, nous l’espérons, à la discussion scientifique que ces recherches et pratiques méritent.
