Thus\, this quest ion of pragmatism addresses societal issues that concern all audiences\, n ot just from a broadcast/transmission perspective.

\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
The political stake of the pragmatist aesthetics is to make sure that the stro ng aesthetic experiences remain open and accessible to the largest public and become even a «matter of ordinary conversation». It is then a matter o f thinking about shared experience as a transmission of values\, an import ant phenomenon for the moral\, political\, “educational” reflection of adu lts» (Cavell 1979\, 1981\, Shusterman\, Laugier 2019\, 2023\, Gerrits 2020 ). Thus\, this question of pragmatism addresses societal issues that conce rn all audiences\, not just from a broadcast/transmission perspective. By focusing on experience and agency\, this way of approaching pragmatism inv olves the cultural audience in a broad way to the point where it engages m ediums such as television and in general digital cultures.
\nThe concept of Post-Creation\, insofar as it plays a form of exteriority t o an original Creation\, has all its place in a world where the strong aes thetic experiences remain open and accessible to a wider public. It is a q uestion of placing the creation beyond what is biased\, in the heart of a form of Third State of the artistic act in charge of a heuristic and criti cal potential\, towards a form extracted from the zone of influence of the world of the art as such. The idea of Post-Creation tends towards the uni versal that would be the fact of conceiving the creation beyond any not in stitutionalized academism. We will see how a possible emulation between th e ordinary aesthetic and the shared experience of the Post-Creation is art iculated and played\, where the experience of the creation produces knowle dge and transforms what is out of the specific field of perception of the art in so many new acting and reflexive spaces. In that\, the influence of the artistic creation on whole sections of the society\, domains of perce ption until now inaccessible\, becomes a stake of opening which results fr om the transformation of a form of ordinary aesthetics in a Post-Creation freed from the aesthetic channels of the contemporary art.

Dr. Pu rdon’s research in neuroengineering encompasses the mechanisms of anesthes ia\, Alzheimer’s disease and brain health\, anesthesia and the developing brain\, neural signal processing\, and the development of novel technologi es for brain monitoring. He has published over 90 peer-reviewed publicatio ns\, is an inventor on 16 pending patents\, and is a Fellow of the America n Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering.

While some scholars express concern tha t gendered biases and stereotypes remain embedded in scientific research\, others are alarmed about the politicization of science. This talk sets ou t three kinds of conflicts that can arise in the neuroscience of sex diffe rences: academic freedom versus gender equality\; frameworks\, background assumptions\, and dominant methodologies\; and inductive risk and social v alues. The boundaries between fair criticism and politicization are explor ed for each kind of conflict\, pointing to ways in which the academic comm unity can facilitate fair criticism while protecting against politicizatio n.\nRegistration is free but required.
