DeScripto department
The "DeScripto - L'ob-scène : praxis des écritures et des imaginaires" Department brings together a very large, unusual number of disciplines from the Social Sciences and Humanities, since 12 of the CNU sections are represented: 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 18, 19, 22.
DeScripto focuses on the theoretical and practical study of presentation/representation devices for all forms of writing or enunciation (linguistic, iconic, vocal, corporeal signs) with or without aesthetic value. It intends to interrogate, from processes of ex-pression, mise en scène, transmediality, transgenericity or translation, what makes them possible, motivates them, constrains them, and constitutes them as places of crisis where presentation looking back on itself in representation takes the risk of unraveling.
We will focus on the creative process and the ethical dimension by examining in literary and artistic works a certain spectacularization of the ob-scene (the excessive, the abject) as opposed to the norm which tends towards the imposition of political correctness, or even censorship or self-censorship. The aim is to examine the dialectical relationships between texts, visual spaces, the body and the discourses that underpin the modalities of such an establishment.
The digital dimension, one of the establishment's major axes, will constitute one of the crucibles of research. The members of the unit wish to work on the axes deployed around the narratives of the hyper-human by working on artistic and social narratives and practices, identities, representations (visual arts, performing arts, song, literary texts, works that shape our imagination and major research objects).
The digital dimension, one of the establishment's major axes, will constitute one of the crucibles of research.
Methods and approaches will be those drawn from literature, the art sciences, anthropology, sociology and philosophy. From an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary perspective, the aim is to propose a way of thinking about creation, analyzing and reconsidering narratives, imaginaries and representations, their construction and deconstruction, and the ethical problems this raises. This consideration should lead to a new way of conceiving protocols and new applications for the cultural and creative industries, industrial circles and health fields (disability issues).
While valuing a praxis of languages, voices, bodies at work(s) DeScripto will be attentive to a perception and reconsideration of the world, a thinking and ethics of creation and human design.
