The two authors will each read an excerpt from their book, then explain their choice to explore the themes of foot travel, nature and memory in their works. This reading will be followed by a discussion during which the audience and our students will be able to ask questions.This event aims to establish links between our research in "embodied cognition", cognitive narratology and travel literature, and our teaching activity. It will enable us to offer our students a bilingual activity while promoting the teaching and study of literature at UNamur and within the NaLTT Institute. We hope to invite interested researchers and their students via our respective networks. With this theme, we will also fit in with UNamur's ecological and pedagogical objectives.

The Coordination belgo-palestinienne namuroise (CNBP), in partnership with PAC Namur and FUCID, is pleased to invite you to a conference by Alain Gresh, French journalist, former editor-in-chief of Le Monde diplomatique, founder of the online journals Orient XXI and Afrique XXI, and specialist in the Middle East and more particularly the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. On this occasion, he will present the contents of his latest book: Palestine, un peuple qui ne veut pas mourir.What is at stake in the war against Gaza goes far beyond the narrow confines of this small territory, which is experiencing one of the most destructive wars of contemporary times - a war whose "genocidal risk" has been underlined by the International Court of Justice. The fighting has already spread to nearby areas, Iran's involvement threatens to transform the scale of the conflict, and the West's support for Israel reinforces the Israeli far-right's rhetoric of a "war of civilization".Refer registration via nam.palestine@gmail.com

The concerns of scientists, ecologists and philosophers about the societal, ethical and environmental challenges of digital technology are numerous. After publishing an analysis of the environmental impacts of digital technology, FUCID has produced a podcast based on an interview with sociology researcher Fabien Lebrun (from the University of Nantes), who has just published "Barbarie numérique. Another history of the connected world", a thorough and meticulous investigation around the mining industry and the hidden face of the digital world.Far from a conference or a lecture, this is a convivial and participative moment to share thoughts and questions on this subject.We invite you to listen to the podcast (available soon) before this meeting via this link...RegistrationsLimited number of places and lunch offered: registration for Monday March 17 before 3pm, to valerie.tilman@fucid-unamur.be.
