«Trans» Approaches: from Myth to Realities
The conference will highlight the work and guiding ideas of transdisciplinarity specialists, emphasizing their current relevance. The speaker will propose a methodology for recognizing how the notion of a “hidden third” makes itself apparent within theory, practice, and the arts. The “hidden third” is particularly visible at the crossroads of personal, professional, and collective development actions. The presentation will thus explore the question of «subjects» and «objects», those acted and those acted upon, in the context of how digital and technological tools (i.e., technontologies) are evolving, in order to determine whether each of us should favor transdisciplinarity or instead take a step further by embodying newer paradigms.
