Multisensory objects’ role on creativity
In this research, we investigated the role of multisensorial manipulation on creativity, and the influence of inspirational objects on creative outcomes. Object manipulation may support embodied cognition during a generative creative phase (emergence of motor, spatial, emotional ideas, etc.) then exploratory phase (creative fixation, development of a functional creation, etc.). Our protocol involved 136 engineering […]

Produire des connaissances transversales à partir d’une approche « micrologique » de l’activité : un défi pour l’analyse du travail en éducation-formation
La question de l’élaboration de connaissances généralisables à partir d’échelles d’analyse microscopiques et situées est à la fois récurrente et fondatrice des démarches de recherche relevant d’approches par l’analyse de l’activité dans le domaine de l’éducation-formation. Même s’il n’est pas toujours explicité et argumenté en tant que tel, ce passage d’observations locales à des interprétations […]

New insights on rheology, durability and mechanical and thermal properties of polyester and steel fiber-reinforced Self-Compacting Concretes
Self-compacting concrete improves fresh-state fluidity while maintaining mechanical properties, and presents an increasing research interest in fiber incorporation. However, the effects of fibers on rheological behavior and durability remain insufficiently studied in existing literature. This study provides new insights on the effect of polyester and steel fibers on the rheological, mechanical, durability, microstructural, and thermal […]

Sécurité, complexité, imprévisibilité: apports et perspectives des travaux de Leplat
e thème de la sécurité a un statut particulier dans les travaux de Jacques Leplat puisqu’il est transversal à toute sa carrière (Leplat, 1985, 2011; Leplat & Cuny, 1974). À partir des années 80, il s’est lié à celui de complexité, devenu indispensable pour décrire le monde qui nous entoure (Leplat & De Terssac, 1990; […]
