The contexts in which SMEs are born, grow, develop or disappear have undergone significant changes in recent years. The challenges faced by entrepreneurs and SMEs are rapidly changing, while at the same time presenting new issues that cannot always be brilliantly illuminated by current knowledge. To sustain our economies weakened by so many disruptions, it is necessary for researchers to engage in reflections that sometimes aim to break out of the traditional frameworks of knowledge reproduction and dare to venture onto paths that are still untrodden. Classical theories and models developed in contexts that no longer exist must be questioned to better understand the reality of our research objects. This requires researchers to engage with original topics, but also by using new methods or deploying innovative research devices. The aim of this article is to propose several avenues of research at the forefront of the literature on SMEs and entrepreneurship to renew the body of knowledge in a few areas. These are likely to direct researchers towards avenues that offer real potential for novelty, not only scientifically, but also practically.

At a time when “collapsology,” a body of knowledge devoted to anticipating and preventing the possible collapse of our protective institutions, is gaining visibility in the French-speaking media, this article attempts to define “collapsonaut” modes of attention, capable of helping us collectively navigate and possibly counter-effect the ongoing destruction of our living milieus by contrasting two polarities of attentional registers (extractivist and collapsonaut attentions), before outlining some of the basic gestures that might characterize the latter.

This report, written by three students in digital publication master’s in ENSSIB (Lyon), offers a glimpse of the conference Open Access, social and solidarity economy, editorial choices – new faces of scientific publishing which took place on November 4th, 2020, as part of the Jacques Cartier Interviews – an annual meeting of economic, institutional and academic actors from the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region (France), from Quebec and from Ottawa, to talk about innovation. This webinar gave the floor to five speakers representing various structures in the field of scientific publishing in humanities and social sciences, showing the bibliodiversity currently existing in this sector. The speakers presented the innovation and experiments that they are currently carrying out, both economically, with ethical ambitions that commit them to becoming active members of the Open Access movement or of social and solidarity economy, as on the editorial plan, by adopting new practices and new tools.

The sociology of collective beliefs is a little discussed sub-discipline in France. Gérald Bronner, whose specialty it is, is in line with Max Weber-Raymond Boudon and intends to add the contribution of cognitive sciences to produce a cognitive sociology that aims to be rationalist. However, some perceive it above all as a form of scientific activism or neo-scientism. In this, we will see that it is out of step with the different methodological postures of sociologists of religions or other researchers. It also raises the thorny question of the relationship between social sciences and cognitive sciences. This article contains many quotes from interviews with Bronner on these topics.
