À la fois théorique et pratique, ce cours privilégie les compétences sur les « contenus » factuels et valorise une approche par l’intelligence collective. Ce cours propose de saisir la notion d’espace à partir de vos expériences quotidiennes, de vos perceptions et de vos pratiques.
Dans EspaceX, nous explorons ensemble la ville, l’urbanisation, l’urbanité, et l’urbanisme, l’acteur individuel au sein d’un Monde mondialisé, les spatialités numériques, le couple espace-temps et la relation complexe entre les sociétés et les mondes bio-physiques. Une large part sera accordée à la cartographie. À l’issue de ce cours, vous serez capable non seulement de lire, mais aussi de dessiner vos propres cartes. Enfin, les problématiques de l’agir spatial et de la justice spatiale seront abordées. Un(e) specialiste reconnu(e) interviendra à chacune des 9 séances sous la forme d’un entretien filmé mettant en lumière la relation de ce chercheur à l’espace.

What you'll learn:

  • Une meilleure compréhension du concept d’«espace » établie à partir de nos pratiques quotidiennes
  • Comment lire et dessiner des cartes afin d’acquérir une meilleure compréhension de l’espace et de la distance
  • Comment la notion d’espace permet d’appréhender les enjeux de la géographie, des sciences sociales, de l’urbanisation et de l’Internet
  • Une idée générale sur les thèmes et sur les questions importantes de la justice spatiale
