L'Homme comme un “être d'habitude.” Essai d'anthropologie et d'épistémologie pour les Sciences du Design

Marie-Julie Catoir-Brisson is an associate professor in the Communication and Culture Department at Audencia Nantes. Her works rely on inter and transdisciplinarity between Design Sciences and information and Communication Sciences. Her research deals with social innovation by design, media and new media, and the uses of digital interfaces and connected objects, which she analyzes in a critical perspective, from semiotics and communication anthropology.

Thomas Watkin is an associate professor in urban design and sociology at University of Nîmes, France. His research in urban and social innovation through design articulates the social sciences and environmental and urban sciences. His fieldwork in territorial transformations, housing, and work practices questions the transcultural construction of knowledge in his research employing mixed methods, ethnography, and participatory design.
