The dazzling progress of artificial intelligence, the metaverse and digital twins is pushing back the frontiers of possibilities in fields as diverse as advanced medicine, the conquest of space, smart cities, quantum computing and ecological transition. Although the advent of the In...

How to lead and govern in an uncertain world.From health crises to a series of financial bubbles, from geopolitical tensions to climate disasters, from societal upheavals to technological breakthroughs, decision-makers are faced with continuous shocks that make the world less predictable than in the past. As worrying as this situation may be, it is also an opportunity: risk is not only a threat, it is also -and above all- an opportunity for pr...

Africa is a continent brimming with talent. Some recognize its undeniable economic potential and are already investing in it. Its resources, natural and human, are as diverse as they are abundant. But for this bright future to become a reality, the continent must address a number of challenges. Africa is facing many obstacles: economic, social, political, demographic, ecological, energetic and cultural. I wrote this book to prepare decision-ma...

Widespread disinformation, use of social and state media, news agency hacking, fake news broadcasts, constant pressure on international organisations… all the modern means of communications are being put to use to influence public opinion and governments. Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and their allies are attempting to subjugate the state of Qatar through these means and by deploying an economic blockade. But the country has shown su...

Medicine exists "as the art of life" because individuals have come to identify certain states as being in need of correction "in relation to the dynamic polarity of life." Written in wartime by French philosopher Georges Canguilhem (1904-1995), The Normal and the Pathological offers a powerful and unparalleled critique of biological and medical thought. Drawing on the OEuvres complètes and on unpublished manuscripts, this collection of new ess...

The reputation of the city street has long been ambivalent. From ancient times to the threatening events in the twenty-first century, it has been seen as a potentially dangerous gathering spot. Everything was done in our industrial world to reserve the street exclusively for fast mobility by leaving immense space for cars and transportation. It is now time for us to reinvent the street, to help it recover its original identity as a place for s...

The object of the Hebrew Bible supports what it calls choosing life in a collective that it names Israel. It supports mixing subjective existence in a society which envisages justice, tsedeq, and symbolic fraternity, society governed by alliance, brith. This mixing obliges everyone to be on guard against incest and of its impure atmosphere, which annuls the subject. The latter, by not sacrificing prohibited jouissance, by not expiating the fau...

I am trying to make headway in the problematic of temporality in the unconscious that Freud has barely sketched out. How to grasp the differences in temporality between the time in repetition of unconscious contents -that Freud designated as timeless- and the time for the passage to the conscious? Modalities of temporality under which Freud exerted himself to think what I am calling structure and what I take from Lacanian psychoanalysis.Let's ...

Technical communication is a fast-evolving discipline that focuses on helping users of products and services perform tasks in an organizational context. This discipline requires connections across organizational functions. During a conference at Université Paris Diderot, technical communication professionals and academics explored the various aspects in which technical communicators collaborate beyond silos. Authors reflected on methodologies ...

The unconscious according to Freud is neither Lacan's first teaching, the unconscious coextensive with language, nor that of his second teaching, the unconscious linked to the Borromean structure and its effects on the body and speech. What is it? In fact, the unconscious is the object of a science that develops through different hypotheses. In this essay, I wanted to show the consistency and the coherency of these hypotheses, from their topol...

To the question, "why is topology necessary to psychoanalysis?", one can answer that it is necessitated by the extension of psychoanalytical theory, as an answer to the problems both Freud and Lacan handed down. Fundamentally, one has to grasp that topology in psychoanalysis is not a mathematical application, but the invention of a method. Indeed, said method enables the construction of structural analogies, in other words structural similarit...

Present times reveal a disturbing paradox: our supposedly hyper-connected post-modern societies had never stretched the social link this thin. The fault lines are so deep that we aren't far from a potential failure. To remedy this, the French Academy came up with a new word in 2004, namely convivence -this proves that words have the power to build and transform reality, - to restore hope of living together. This composition not only analyzes t...
