Des savoirs mutants aux public’actions

Abstract

How does the way of conceiving the development of knowledge influence the problematization of restitution and of restitutive practices? The present contribution proposes the notion of mutant knowledge, which deploys a critical perspective on concepts, notably, of scientific neutrality, objectivity, frontier, transformation, liability, and translation. Follows the explanation of the resulting conception of restitution, as well as the emphasis on its epistemological foundations. The section centered on public'actions presents a variety of restitutive practices and ends with a perspective of the challenges at stake.
