The Spectrum of Memory : Animated Documentary In-between Self-Narration and Social Criticism

Chunning Maggie Guo

EPISTÉMÈ :: Vol.16 pp.171-190

Abstract
The Spectrum of Memory : Animated Documentary In-between Self-Narration and Social Criticism ×

This is a practice-based research, in the process of creating Ketchup(《番茄酱》), a short work of animated documentary as an exploration of autobiographical memory and trauma memory, the author also experimented with the narration structure and visual metaphor in animated documentary. Since a series of important animated documentary works were first produced starting in 1995, including Drawn from Memory(Paul Fierlinger,1995), Sunrise over Tiananmen Square (Shuibo Wang, 1999) and Waltz with Bashir (Ari Folman,2008), animated documentary has revealed a new style of narration for the author themselves, and at the same time a device for social criticism. By using “first person” perspective or even voices, animated documentary can deeply rethink and question social problems and historical trauma. This paper focuses on the spectrum of memory, including the taste of memory, the color of memory, the structure of memory and the metaphor of memory, these aspects of memories will be explored deeply through the cross-dialogue between the above art works and a series of animated documentaries from east European countries. The key point of research of animated documentary also relies on rethinking and redefining what animated documentary is, this paper demonstrates animated documentary is already beyond the discussion of ontology of animation or documentary, it is a new entity with its own identity and potential.

The Animated Interview in Online Games : The Auto-Animated Documentary and Korean-ness

Man Park

EPISTÉMÈ :: Vol.16 pp.191-206

Abstract
The Animated Interview in Online Games : The Auto-Animated Documentary and Korean-ness ×

This paper will examine how animated avatar-based interviews in online games can be in a documentary, which play an important role as the visual research data or form in an ethnography approach. This animated interview is conducted to investigate the issue of the construction of the contemporary identity of the Korean youth, and their ‘avatar' lives (as virtual game characters) and culture in animated online games, such as Massively Multiplayer Online Role-playing Games (MMORPGs). In this proposed discussion, I will offer virtual research methods which are applied to my visual practice, using records of avatar-based interviews and participant observation in Korean MMORPGs in relation to ethnography and virtual worlds. This paper will interrogate how these recorded auto-created animations of online practice can be engaged with an animated documentary in ethnography in virtual and real worlds, compared with self-created animation in a non-fiction context. For this reason, I will briefly introduce how the recorded auto-animated documentary is used to produce or purpose the primary data by online practice in a ‘visually based ethnography'. This animated practice engages with specific Korean youth identity, comparing the ‘avatar' with the real lives of participants. Importantly, this paper will mainly indicates the (ethnographic) research method, using the auto-created animated documentary, but not particularly present the meaning of the specific case of 'Korean-ness'. Eventually, this paper will propose new possibilities of auto-animated documentaries in a different or another mode of animated representation between animation and reality. This will facilitate explicating the unknown truth or question in an alternative or non-conventional way to interpret the non-material phenomena and context by representing the visual actuality, event or process.

Secularism, the Research of the Universal, the Unthought: How Secularism Can Serve the Refoundation of the School System

Patricia Verdeau

EPISTÉMÈ :: Vol.15 pp.7-19

Abstract
Secularism, the Research of the Universal, the Unthought: How Secularism Can Serve the Refoundation of the School System ×

At the crossroads of a scientific approach and of a secular approach, the research for the universal raises the question of a relationship to the unthought. Epistemological issues appear, from which it seems necessary to question again the relationships between science and secularism. It is in these conditions that secularism, in its dual relationship with the universal and the unthought universal, can serve the refoundation of the school system.

Towards a Morality without Religion ? The Massolian Movement and Its Influence, 1860-1880

Pierre Francois

EPISTÉMÈ :: Vol.15 pp.21-54

Abstract
Towards a Morality without Religion ? The Massolian Movement and Its Influence, 1860-1880 ×

The movement of ideas launched in the early 1860s by Alexander Massol, who has often be forgotten by researchers, and spread in a review “La morale indépendante”, supported by the “loudspeaker”' that the booming Grand Orient de France was, played a great role in the making of a secular civic and moral education and in the birth of free thought in France. Of a Saint-Simonian origin, Massol kept strong links with the Republican Saint-Simonians in Paris and in the province, and was equally linked with the positivist circles of Emile Littré's environment, where Jules Ferry went among other persons. The contribution aims at making the ideas of the Massolian movement known and at studying the networks of influences he might have had from the liberal Empire to the time when the IIIrd Republic launched its education program.

The popular education in the service of the secularism

Pierre Tournemire

EPISTÉMÈ :: Vol.15 pp.55-76

Abstract
The popular education in the service of the secularism ×

Secularism is the condition for harmoniously living together, respecting each and everyone's ideas and is the means of emancipation for all. It is the product of history and of political philosophy which generated a legal framework. This history, this philosophy and this legal framework must be better known to allow both individually and socially appropriate answers to the questions which are encountered. The contribution aims at giving these elements of knowledge while insisting on the necessity for secularism to be practiced as well as taught from a historical approach and from the current state of the role and action of the educational movements and of the secular organizations in complementarity with National Education.

Jean Izoulet (1854-1929) : entre religion etsociologie

Herve Terral

EPISTÉMÈ :: Vol.15 pp.77-97

Abstract
Jean Izoulet (1854-1929) : entre religion etsociologie ×

Even if a public garden in Moissac (France, Tarn-et-Garonne) bears today the name of Jean Izoulet (between the winding streets and the flood of 1930) is little known. Nevertheless Jean Izoulet born in the Quercy area held significant positions in the French intellectual world, since for more than thirty years he held the Distinguished Chair of social philosophy in the Collège de France. Born in Miramont in 1854 he died in Paris in 1929, he was deeply attached to the Tarn-et-Garonne department, in particular with the theme of decentralization. But he was particularly known for his thesis, The Modern City (1895), a global reflection on the evolution of society which earned him the esteem of many Republican secretaries of State (Léon Bourgeois quite particularly). Then in the 1920s he became known thanks to a highly critical reflection on the Western world, that of the "democracies" that he felt were deeply threatened. Without wishing to rehabilitate a complex and sometimes debatable way of thinking, we can nevertheless wish to make it known and give it its real place in the general movement of ideas (from the 1880s to the 1930s, characterized by many changes and many dangers).

Benoit Petit

EPISTÉMÈ :: Vol.15 pp.99-132

Abstract
Bible in Toulouse (France): Interreligious Reading with Subscriptions on the Internet ×

A public reading of the Bible was organized in Toulouse twice, by two groups of people who built a website. Two of them are presented here, with a focus on decision and social transaction: BECATOU and the public reading of the “Bible in Toulouse” (BAT) The author follows these events ─ by participative observation over a couple of years from the point of view of sociology: how information is passed (on to a reader, a listener or a web user). The focus is both on the relationship between religious communities, and within each one. This article shows people's way of thinking evolve through time and highlights the question raised by the internet in religious exchanges and relationships. Many questions arise with internet for the transmission of beliefs and interreligious exchanges with the end of the parish civilization.

A Secular Education of the Morality Today?

Laurence Loeffel

EPISTÉMÈ :: Vol.15 pp.133-146

Abstract
A Secular Education of the Morality Today? ×

The report, which was handed to Mr. Vincent Peillon, Minister for Education, on April 22nd, 2013, entitled "For a secular education of the morality" asserts the legitimacy of a secular education of the morality to the school today, by looking for supports taking into account the evolutions of the democracy and the necessary respect for the pluralism of the opinions and the faiths. Such an option today translated in the new programs of the moral and civic education requires a philosophic culture and more widely a general knowledge which are not still on the agenda in the formation of the teachers. This project and this program take away us from the political project of the secular moral education such as it was thought and implemented under the Third Republic. Il takes away us from it, but moves closer to us to it at the same time, so much the philosophic foundation of this education mattered for his promoters, worried about a secular education of the morality so solid as enemy of dogmae.

The Secular Education of the Citizenship and the Religious Facts : From Difficulties to the Application

Charles Coutel

EPISTÉMÈ :: Vol.15 pp.147-157

Abstract
The Secular Education of the Citizenship and the Religious Facts : From Difficulties to the Application ×

The institution of a secular education of morality in connection with a non-denominational education of the religious facts is a determining factor of the education crisis. It is the merit of Charles Péguy to light the way towards an exit of crisis, by defining a not too wide field of education to avoid confusion or fusion, as the risk to confuse pupils and masters, and by developing means to cover the enormous deficit of humanist and republican culture, the result of which our problems are.

Contagion as a Transdisciplinary Research Model : A Semiotic-anthropological Perspective

Sung Do Kim

EPISTÉMÈ :: Vol.15 pp.161-175

Abstract
Contagion as a Transdisciplinary Research Model : A Semiotic-anthropological Perspective ×

The aim of this paper is to construct a transdisciplinary research model of the contagion. First of all, we tried to underline a polysemy and metaphoric complexity of the term of contagion. Then we attempted to present this problematics of contagion as a transdisciplinary paradigm of human and social sciences in mentioning its potential fields such as the contagion as a structuration of the social, the biopolitical dimensions of the contagion. In this regard, the immunology model by the italian philosopher Esposito to explain the nature of the modern state seems insightful. As a conclusion, we suggested a problematics of semio-anthropology of contagion in presenting some research areas such as semiotics of institutions responsible for the contagion, semiotics of the virality, and the contagiosity of the language.
