Its 10th edition, organized in collaboration with the Institute of Architecture, will be entitled <em>Autonomy and Abstraction </em>and will deal two fundamental dimensions of scholarly inquiry. The two days event, open to the public, will be structured in the form of thematic sessions alternating with keynotes and round tables.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<em>Abstraction</em> will be approached in its classical philosophical meaning, consistent with the view that understanding requires the mind to grasp the universal apart from the particulars in which it is embodied. In this sense, abstraction is the mental operation through which the essential structure of a subject is drawn out from its contingent features, allowing researchers to discern the general principles that render their object intelligible. This conceptual withdrawal does not negate the concrete but clarifies what endures beyond the variability of specific instances.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<em>Autonomy</em> will be presented as a distinct yet complementary notion: the capacity of a discipline to reflect upon itself through its own internal laws and modes of reasoning. It entails a temporary suspension of external frameworks so that the discipline may be understood from within, according to the coherence of its concepts and the logic that shapes its questions. While abstraction deals with the apprehension of universal principles, autonomy has to do with the conditions under which these principles operate within a disciplinary horizon.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nOnce defined as separate notions, abstraction and autonomy will be brought into constructive relation, for both require a measured intellectual distance that enables the essential to be articulated. In this context, participants will be invited to suspend, for a moment, the temporal and spatial dimensions that ordinarily situate their work, in order to concentrate on the internal logics that define it. <em>The possibility of abstraction and autonomy</em> will be explored not as a doctrine but as an open interpretative field through which doctoral researchers may examine their subjects at the level of foundational assumptions and operative laws.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThese <em>Rencontres</em> will emphasise that both abstraction and autonomy admit multiple interpretations, each opening further avenues for reflection. Their plurality will form the ground of the collective discussion. Participants will therefore be encouraged not only to explore but to present the internal laws and guiding principles that structure their research, testing how their projects appear when considered within a horizon freed, temporarily, from external contingencies.", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2025-11-06T15:36:23", "last_modification_date": "2025-12-18T14:33:46", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "AAC 020", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room=%3DAAC%200%2020&dim_floor=0&lang=fr&dim_lang=fr&tree_groups=centres_nevralgiques_grp%2Cmobilite_acces_grp%2Crestauration_et_commerces_grp%2Censeignement%2Cservices_campus_grp%2Cequipements_grp&tree_group_layers_centres_nevralgiques_grp=&tree_group_layers_mobilite_acces_grp=metro&tree_group_layers_restauration_et_commerces_grp=&tree_group_layers_enseignement=guichet_etudiants&tree_group_layers_services_campus_grp=information_epfl&tree_group_layers_equipements_grp=&baselayer_ref=grp_backgrounds&map_x=2532835&map_y=1152556&map_zoom=14", "url_online_room": "", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "", "organizer": "EDAR Doctoral Program in Architecture and Sciences of the City, Institute of Architecture", "contact": "Elena Cogato Lanza, [email protected]", "is_internal": "False", "theme": "", "vulgarization": { "id": 1, "fr_label": "Tout public", "en_label": "General public" }, "registration": { "id": 3, "fr_label": "Entrée libre", "en_label": "Free" }, "keywords": "EDAR, IA", "file": null, "icalendar_url": "https://memento.epfl.ch/event/export/118431/", "category": { "id": 1, "code": "CONF", "fr_label": "Conférences - Séminaires", "en_label": "Conferences - Seminars", "activated": true }, "academic_calendar_category": null, "domains": [], "mementos": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/32/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/1/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/4/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/72/?format=api", "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/mementos/6/?format=api" ] } ] }
