Challenges of Communication in a Context of Crisis
This book questions the political tools and the basis upon which the values of an informed and objective communication rest, and that nowadays encompass most of the ordinary situations encountered in institutions. What is the fate of the involuntary drifts of communication, such as disturbances, misunderstandings and troubles, in the use of decision-making tools, participatory mechanisms, and the establishment of contractual procedures or informed consent practices? How do they open a discordant and potentially critical gap in the protocols and assessment and categorization measures that govern these institutions? How can the virtues of these drifts, whether in the exercise of sociological research or of scientific discovery be revalued? Crisis situations seem implicitly or explicitly to involve communicative issues. The efforts of normative framing of communication and of information formatting are then numerous. However, as this book shows, one can question not only the effectiveness of these efforts, but also how the actors receive them and how they transform the actual modalities of their communication processes.

Social Matter
This book helps answer a fundamental question: What is the social world made of? It presents a comprehensive ontology of social entities, activities, and relations. Basic building blocks of the social world, from humans and animals to objects and cognitive entities are explored, while also posing open questions about the status of living beings. By introducing more complex social forms, such as networks and collectives, and examining how these emerge through shared resources and interactions the author applies the familiar social science notions like classes and organizations and explores life courses and causality within social phenomena. As a whole, this book offers an innovative framework for understanding the social world, inviting scholars and readers in philosophy, social sciences, and political sciences to rethink the entities and processes that shape our social reality.

En finir avec le Diable ?
Juin 2017. Les salles de presse du monde entier bruissent d'une étrange question : "Le Diable existe-t-il ?" Le pape François évoque souvent le Diable dans son enseignement. Aussi lorsque le père Arturo Sosa, supérieur général des Jésuites, dénommé le "pape noir", déclare n'y voir qu'une figure symbolique, il provoque un émoi prévisible. Le Diable, dont le mot vient du verbe grec diaballo qui signifie diviser, venait encore de frapper, semble-t-il, et cela au sommet de l'Église.
