A travers des lectures de textes, des projections de films, des commentaires d’oeuvres picturales ou musicales, il s’agira de débattre deux fois par mois des problèmes qui nous concernent tous, avec rigueur et méthode. Sun. 28 February, 7pm L’Atelier Philo est ouvert à tous, destiné à un public francophone et ne nécessite aucune connaissance en philosophie. La première notion abordée: LE NOMADISME. Interroger la figure du nomade et les pensées du nomadisme pour ne pas les réduire au ‘nostalgisme’ ou au ‘tourisme’. Le nomade est-il un original, un asocial, incapable de trouver sa place? Un idiot utile? Ou la dernière figure de l’altérité dans un monde uniforme ?
