The project

"Graphie de vie et affects : Expérimentations méthodologiques de mise en récit des vulnérabilités contre les préjugés"

This project is part of the ITM's flagship theme, Responsible Digital Transformation of Organizations. It focuses on the methodological side, for responsible research that is hospitable and sensitive to affects and situations of vulnerability. Social transformations have repercussions on the lives and situations of vulnerable people, and this needs to be perceived in a sensitive, non-authoritarian way, open to otherness. Since 2009, the UFMG Social Communication Department and Jean-Luc Moriceau have been working together on a series of projects and publications. With the guest researcher, particular note should be taken of Pessoa et al. Afetos: pesquisas, reflexões e experiências em quatro encontros com Jean-Luc Moriceau; Research as Hospitality presented jointly at the SCOS conference and Textes-performance to be published in the journal Communication.
