This is the central question that the PoLiCÉMIES laboratory’s annual seminar aims to explore in this edition.

The call is open to all disciplines concerned with these issues, with a particular focus on the disciplines represented within PoLiCÉMIES: philosophy, political science, law, literature, cultural studies, urban planning, information and communication sciences, the arts, design, and research-creation.
