Toute l’information imaginable semble accessible en quelques clics et nos appareils nous sollicitent sans cesse pour orienter nos choix dans cet univers infini. Ce faisant, le numérique change la manière dont nous sommes attentifs à ce qui nous occupe et à ce qui nous entoure. Nous avons interrogé Yves Citton sur la portée de ce changement et sur le rôle propre qu’y jouent les nouveaux médias. Ils s’y révèlent ambivalents, et laissent dès lors prise au politique et à l’engagement.
Cet article propose une sélection de bonnes feuilles du livre de 2013 The Undercommons , actuellement en voie de traduction pour une publication française en 2021. Y sont abordés les thèmes de la politique « encerclée » ( surrounded ), de la gouvernance, du planning et de la policy , de la logistique, ainsi que de ce qui fait de l’étude consacrée aux undercommons une philosophie du toucher.
International audienceThis article suggests that our supposedly “post-theoretical” age is more than ever in need of the intellectual gestures which characterized theory in its various guises. After a brief historical schematization of the recent evolutions of theory, it distinguishes four dimensions of intellection (accounting, modeling, storytelling, speculating), which are constantly weaved together whenever we attempt to make sense of our world. It then shows that these four dimensions are all included in the activity of interpretation, which deserves to appear as a continuation of theory by other means. In dialogue with Wlad Godzich, Steven Knapp and Walter Ben Michaels, Daniele Giglioli or Claude Lévi-Strauss, it re-describes interpretation as a form of indiscipline closer to the bricolage of “the savage mind” than to the unrealistic idealization of modern “Science”. It concludes, however, by rejecting such dichotomies and by calling for “theoricolage” as an indisciplinary and cheerful mix of theory and bricolage
