DESCRIPTION:Our friends from Université de Paris Panthéon-Sorbonne return f
or a third installment of their symposium Arts & Pragmatism: From Ordinary
Aesthetics to Post Creation. \nThis day-long symposium will be chaired by
Yann Toma and Sandra Laugier. From the organizers:\nWe have noticed it du
ring the two previous symposia of our program: the pragmatist philosophy a
nd in particular Dewey defends the idea that aesthetics must not only be c
onsidered as the search for truths about art and its creations but also as
what concerns the experience of the persons with an artwork (a sensitive
and active experience). The reception would thus be the dynamic experience
of an incarnated observer\, acting\, feeling in his senses and his affect
s what is the work and what it makes him feel.\n\nThe political stake of t
he pragmatist aesthetics is to make sure that the strong aesthetic experie
nces remain open and accessible to the largest public and become even a «m
atter of ordinary conversation». It is then a matter of thinking about sha
red experience as a transmission of values\, an important phenomenon for t
he moral\, political\, “educational” reflection of adults» (Cavell 1979\,
1981\, Shusterman\, Laugier 2019\, 2023\, Gerrits 2020). Thus\, this quest
ion of pragmatism addresses societal issues that concern all audiences\, n
ot just from a broadcast/transmission perspective. By focusing on experien
ce and agency\, this way of approaching pragmatism involves the cultural a
udience in a broad way to the point where it engages mediums such as telev
ision and in general digital cultures.\nThe concept of Post-Creation\, ins
ofar as it plays a form of exteriority to an original Creation\, has all i
ts place in a world where the strong aesthetic experiences remain open and
accessible to a wider public. It is a question of placing the creation be
yond what is biased\, in the heart of a form of Third State of the artisti
c act in charge of a heuristic and critical potential\, towards a form ext
racted from the zone of influence of the world of the art as such. The ide
a of Post-Creation tends towards the universal that would be the fact of c
onceiving the creation beyond any not institutionalized academism. We will
see how a possible emulation between the ordinary aesthetic and the share
d experience of the Post-Creation is articulated and played\, where the ex
perience of the creation produces knowledge and transforms what is out of
the specific field of perception of the art in so many new acting and refl
exive spaces. In that\, the influence of the artistic creation on whole se
ctions of the society\, domains of perception until now inaccessible\, bec
omes a stake of opening which results from the transformation of a form of
ordinary aesthetics in a Post-Creation freed from the aesthetic channels
of the contemporary art.\nRead the statement in French\nProgram:\n10:30AM

this gap\, I argue that Kant’s view is a promising resource for developin

DESCRIPTION:We are excited to announce a public talk featuring Elie During
as part of French philosopher Gaston Bachelard’s 60th death anniversary. O
n the face of it\, The Dialectic of Duration\, Gaston Bachelard’s 1936 ess
ay\, is a pungent—if often unfair—criticism of the Bergsonian doctrine of
time and creative evolution. The constructive side of this Anti-Bergson ha
s received less attention: it implies a genuine poetics of time based on t
he intuition of the sporadic and oscillatory nature of becoming. Bachelard
’s rhythmic theme is consistent with the idea of “surrationalism” introduc
ed that same year as a formal counterpart to the surrealist experiments ca
rried out on the fringes of conscious experience. Inspired by the explosiv
e potential of scientific revolutions already celebrated in Le Nouvel Espr
it Scientifique\, the surrationalist project can be interpreted as that of
a poetics of reason. André Breton believed it would “act simultaneously a
s a stimulant and restraining influence” (“Crisis of the Object”). Insight
s from the scientific investigation of time as well as poetic and musical
experience will help us see how this double action is in keeping with the

X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nWe are excite
d to announce a public talk featuring Elie During as part of French philos
opher Gaston Bachelard’s 60th death anniversary. On the face of it\, Th
e Dialectic of Duration\, Gaston Bachelard’s 1936 essay\, is a pungent
—if often unfair—criticism of the Bergsonian doctrine of time and creative
evolution. The constructive side of this Anti-Bergson has received less a
ttention: it implies a genuine poetics of time based on the intuition of t
he sporadic and oscillatory nature of becoming. Bachelard’s rhythmic theme
is consistent with the idea of “surrationalism” introduced that same year
as a formal counterpart to the surrealist experiments carried out on the
fringes of conscious experience. Inspired by the explosive potential of sc
ientific revolutions already celebrated in Le Nouvel Esprit Scientifiqu
e\, the surrationalist project can be interpreted as that of a poet
ics of reason. André Breton believed it would “act simultaneously as a
stimulant and restraining influence” (“Crisis of the Object”). Insights f
rom the scientific investigation of time as well as poetic and musical exp
erience will help us see how this double action is in keeping with the eru
ptive dynamics of imagination and reason\, as much as with Bachelard’s ide
al of “self-surveillance”.
