Peritopia #4
Our Preferences – Julien Avril, author and director, in residence at the Center for Economics at Paris-Saclay (CEPS).
Drawing on his conversations with economist Dimitrios Xefteris, Julien Avril has transformed public choice theory into a theatrical form. The papers on microeconomics thus become skits that are by turns tragic and comic. Or how our subjective or collective choices intersect with our desires (and illusions) of freedom, in an age of algorithms and crises.
A Radical Listening Project – Saba A. Le Renard, sociologist, Research Director at the CNRS, and member of the Maurice Halbwachs Center (CMH).
How can one create theater based on sociological interviews with people who have experienced sexual violence? Researcher Saba A. Le Renard takes on her own role, presenting herself at work as a scientist deeply immersed in her research, allowing the fieldwork to permeate her life and her methodology to waver under the weight of her emotions.
