• Modernization on Lignes de Temps

This seminar wants to be a break-through from the traditional lecture model, by the direct manifestation of its subject. Recent technologies are thus applied to valorize a collective modern intelligence at work.

Diverging from the tradition wich tries to define from Baudelaire to Walter Benjamin what is “modernity”, this seminar asks itself what is “modernization”, within an original framework and challenging views.

Guests from various fields (philosophs, historians, artists) are successively asked three question :

• What is modernity ?
• What is modernization ?
• What is post-modernity ?

As their answers are collected, they are recorded, indexed, tagged and put online so that the debate may profit from the new models of auto-production and user-generated content where participants log in and take positions through consensus or dissensus with the views displayed.

This enables the emergence of a searchable and open database..
