Academic views: Seminar actualité critique européenne 4901-ASKAC-OG
The seminar is part of the network of debates taking place in many countries in Europe. It was initiated by the École Normale Supérieure Paris as part of the Actualité critique européenne interdisciplinary seminar. This seminar brings together researchers and students around issues of key importance to politics, science, economics, society and the arts.
The analysis of contemporary world events more and more often leads to manipulations, transformations and false interpretations. Seminar participants will analyze current events in a critical way from a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives.
This formula aims to become a place of reflection and critical analysis.
