Leïla Slimani explores, between 1945 and the present day, the destiny of a family divided between France and Morocco. Games of domination, the weight of inheritance, the place of women and questions of identity are at the heart of this virtuoso and ambitious trilogy. From one generation to the next, each of the characters struggles to find their place in a territory, a body or an imagination monopolized by others. Carried by vivid, precise writing and a powerful breath, the family fresco unfolds to touch on the universal and embrace resolutely contemporary themes.Leïla Slimani's novelistic work is published by Gallimard Editions and translated in many countries.To close this evening, a drink will be offered, allowing you to extend the discussions in a convivial atmosphere.

Human beings have always sought to surpass the limits of their bodies. The first prosthetic foot appeared in Egypt in 600 BC. The 13th century saw the appearance of spectacles in Italy. The 17th century saw the development of various "scopes" to enhance vision of the infinitely small and the infinitely large. In the industrial sector, the 19th and 20th centuries saw the development of mechanization and then automation, with the aim of making gestures formerly performed by human hands alone faster and more precise... Not to mention all the progress accumulated over the centuries in medicine and surgery, which are also aimed at repairing or surpassing the natural limits of the human body. We agree that the field is very vast and is part of the long history of mankind... It is therefore important to target what we are talking about when we invoke the terms 'Augmented Man' and to distinguish it, despite the continuity of the project, from the innovations of the past. As philosopher Emmanuelle Perrin-Huisman (2018) points out, to speak of augmentation is first and foremost to take a quantitative rather than a qualitative viewpoint. Augmenting Man, she tells us, "is wanting to increase his longevity, his performance, his power, his power over nature and others." Then, to speak of augmented Man in the 21st century is to target augmentations that rely on nanotechnologies, biotechnologies, computer and cognitive sciences (NBIC) and their increasingly advanced convergence in projects to surpass Man's physical, cognitive or emotional limits. Finally, it also means questioning the imaginaries of immortality and technological Darwinism that are part of transhumanist currents of thought heralding the gradual emergence of a post-human individual.

Quentin Willot (Biology) has just joined URBE for a two-year post-doctoral position (Marie Sklodowska-Curie Action, supervisor: Alice Dennis) on a project called ChillAnts. This project focuses on the study of adaptation to extreme temperatures in holarctic (trans-Beringian) ant species, from a physiological, ecological and evolutionary point of view. Quentin will present a more technical aspect of his work (Thermal Death Time Curve Modelling).

Jean Loubry invites us to stay at home, in our beautiful Province of Namur. So this will be a journey among poets from Namur and the surrounding area. Some names are more famous than others, but what we hope above all is to help you discover the many facets of a poetry that is so close to home and yet sometimes so little known.

Mozart's music seems to flow from the source , or to sparkle like champagne , so obvious, pleasant and natural is it . The diversity of melodies seems limitless , the "Divine Mozart" had such an imagination...And yet, when we strain an attentive and discerning ear, we notice that all the first movements of all Mozart's sonatas, concertos, symphonies, quartets, etc. are built exactly and rigorously on the same pattern.But what is this common, inescapable framework to which Mozart submits with equal talent and humility, and which he plays with with all the genius we know about him?And which can be found, incredibly identical, in the Little Night Music or the 40th Symphony, for example?This is what Charlotte Messiaen invites us to discover, in words and in music!"
