Tel est le programme de reflexion de cet ouvrage collectif qui privilegie une approche interdisciplinaire et internationale. – In 1979, Jean-Francois Lyotard sketched out the postmodern condition, announcing the demise of modernity.

This is the task undertaken by this interdisciplinary and international volume.
