While more than 50% of the world's population is connected to the Internet, the major platforms, and particularly Facebook, have acquired an enormous political power. This new situation forces us to rethink the emancipation project of the enlightenment. In this article, I propose that researchers in the humanities and social sciences take up this challenge by adopting and disseminating new standards of reflexive collective intelligence. Knowledge commons, open science and the sovereignty of individuals over the data they produce are unanimously accepted. But these essential principles are not enough. The available computing and communication power, combined with the use of IEML (a language with computable semantics), enables us to contemplate a transparency of the knowledge, meaning and authority creation processes. I present here the main strategic orientations for reaching these objectives. An epistemological revolution in the human sciences is within reach, and with it a new stage in the evolution of critical thinking.

This article revisits the content of a talk given at the conference « Ecological Crisis and Critique of Society », held at the Campus de la Transition on île Sainte-Hélène on June 9, 2023. It aims to briefly identify the parameters of a question, namely the need for a revolution in the political-institutional mediations in the context of the crisis and the ecological transition. It is therefore not a question of claiming todefinitively resolve the question, but of initiating reflection, by focusing on a central tension between supporters of a new recognition or reactivation of state sovereignty (« statist » or republican position) and defenders of various forms of democratic localism (« anti-state » or « communalist » defense of principles of self-government).

This review focuses on the book Le service public médiatique à l’ère numérique, in which the authors Gaëtan Tremblay, Aimé-Jules Bizimana and Oumar Kane compare the digital transition of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation with the BBC and France televisions. Although Western media public services are affected by multiple economic, political or identity crises, they successfully respond to the challenge of the digital age, notably through the de-linearization and personalization of viewing patterns.

This article analyzes the status of the strange village in which Louis-Philippe Hébert's La manufacture de machines is located. An outlying place, out of known time and space, it conceals a host of singular machines, so many attractions that give this place the vocation of an amusement park. However, it does not have the festive aspect that this type of places wants to have, and foreign visitors are absent. The main focus here will be to examine the odd relationship between the villagers and the machines.
