🔵 Ressourcer les imaginaires par la vulgarisation en bande dessinée
Masterclass de Ludivine Stock - le 28 mars 2025 à Lyon

Quels choix structurent une bande dessinée lorsqu’elle parle d’économie contemporaine ou de figures historiques ? Comment ce médium peut-il raconter le passé, le présent, et inspirer l’avenir ?

"Baker noted that "there's long been this very human-centric idea of intelligence that only humans are intelligent." That's fallen away within the scientific community as we've studied more about animal behavior. But there's still a bias to privilege human-like behaviors."

A #longread by @arstechnica about the #anthropocentric #bias of #AGI and #AI companies - money versus nature.

"As an eternal testament of humanity, plastic bags, cheap clothes and chicken bones are not a glorious legacy... [but] fast food and fast fashion will be our everlasting geological signature."

A really good article, with lots of fascinating speculations on the nature of the 'WTF?!' layer we are in the process of creating for future cockroach geologists.

riz fermenté + #eau -> saké + Shinto -> plante/boisson sacrée / communion avec les esprits et la #Nature

rituels alimentaires/lithurgiques : partage du pain par le père de famille + croix tracée sur la miche + mangé même rassis et dur (soupe, pain perdu, farce...).

Symbolise le travail : 'gagner son pain'

jus de raisin fermenté -> levures transforme le sucre -> vin
farine + eau = pâte à pain -> à fermenter + farine + eau = pain

avant la science, la fermentation est un don de Dieu. Elle permet au produit frais de 'renaître' (ex : le pain). Ainsi le raisin revit après s'être métamorphosé en vin (cf eucharistie : "Ceci est mon corps"/"Ceci est la sang du Christ")

=> maîtrise de la fermentation = marque de la civilisation.

[New call for papers]

"#Mountain #Huts in the #Anthropocene Era"

> We welcome contributions from the following non-exclusive fields: human and social sciences, architecture, economics and marketing, civil engineering and resource management. Comparative perspectives are strongly encouraged in so far as they enable us to address the issue of huts, especially those that deal with places that allow people to stay in a remote environment that is difficult to access and requires shelter or logistical support (such as scientific laboratories in Antarctica).
