The question of temporality is at the heart of the 2021 thematic school:
- What role does temporality play in the understanding of complex systems?
- How is temporality defined and treated in the disciplines?
- Which scientific objects are completely free of time?
- How can we account for non-temporality, timelessness, timelessness?
- What links can be made between temporality and the perception of "time", traces and memory?
- What are the revelators or vectors of temporality, their properties and roles, their different forms, individual or collective, fixed or variable, explicit or not?
Faced with these questions, which transcend disciplines and objects of study, the 28th Rochebrune 2021 conference aims to draw the contours of a reflection on the notion of temporality in complex systems in order to establish both an inventory and an understanding of their interdisciplinary appropriation.
The school must allow participants from different backgrounds, and facing problems that can be categorized in complex systems, to exchange on their practices and methods relating to the notion of temporality and the different modalities of its apprehension. It is expected, on the one hand, that these crossings will give rise to exchanges that will feed into the respective disciplinary practices. These crossovers can operate by complementarity, as the notion of temporality of a particular discipline can be used by another discipline, or can be totally different. On the other hand, it is a question of discussing how temporality can be expressed according to disciplines and for what purposes. Finally, it is necessary to resituate this notion in the complex systems sciences, in the light of the crossovers made by the participants. The speakers will attempt to explain the similarities and differences that may exist between the various meanings of temporality, their representations and methods, in relation to complex systems.
Submission Guidelines
The following contributions are welcome:
- Workshop on a specific tool
- Doctoral course
- Presentation of a fundamental paper or research in progress
List of Topics
- in physics: a priori or a posteriori time of motion, Newtonian and relativistic time, dynamic systems, time measurements, time arrow, entropy and negentropy ;
- in mathematics and computer science: mathematical representation of time, logic of time, reasoning about time, algorithmic complexity, parallelism and distribution, time and simulation, temporal ontologies, temporality in Artificial Intelligence;
- in biology and cognitive sciences: time of life, situated cognition, perception of time, memory, articulation of the notion of time with the notions of ontogenesis and phylogenesis;
- in geography: spatio-temporal GIS, the representation of time in geography and the dynamics of geographical change, chronotopes and the coincidence of time and space;
- in history, archaeology and anthropology: epistemology of time and temporalities in history, the trace and the archive in the historical sciences, collective and individual memory, anthropology of time, uses and conceptions of time across history and cultures;
- in linguistics: the question of temporality in the act of enunciation, and that of the form of temporality in the enunciation itself. What form does this production take in signifying practices of all kinds? How are these practices in turn dependent on temporality?
- in law: the times of normative production, of the interpretation and application of norms and the modalities of their interactions in the legal order and in a situation of legal pluralism;
- and in any other dicipline.
