Em meio as representacoes sagradas, a aura contorna todo o corpo do santo, depois unicamente sua cabeca e, em seguida, ela se movimenta para acima de seu crânio, para enfim se dissipar. A aura constituia a confirmacao do santo e ela possuia valor terapeutico. O contato com seu corpo, o privilegio de tocar o santo, garantia a saude ao fiel. Na epoca da Internet, das redes sem fios e os dispositivos portateis conectados, a aura eletronica se apresenta como a trama que religa de maneira cada vez mais tatil cada membro de um grupo a um outro e as projecoes de seu imaginario. Assim, comunicar equivale cada vez mais a estar em comunhao, a estar junto a partir de uma forma de imaginacao sensivel. Neste cenario, estamos todo o tempo rodeados de uma especie de nuvem densa de relacoes, de informacoes e de simbolos que integram e desintegram nossa identidade numa relacao continua com o outro, deixando-nos confluir numa carne eletronica da qual nos nao somos mais que uma parte imaginal.

L’aura électronique l’imaginaire, le sacré et la vie digitale

in this paper, we analyse an activity for 1 st grade students, taken from the official pedagogical material for mathematics in French-speaking Switzerland. This activity is part of the curriculum about addition and comes in the form of a dice game. After some succinct considerations about games in mathematics education, we give an a priori analysis (according Brousseau's theory of didactic situations) of the activity. We then give account of an experimentation we made in Geneva, first with the teacher in her class and then with two duos of students outside the class. Finally, we suggest some modification in the didactical design in order to make this activity more pertinent.

Didactical analysis of a dice game

Eco-design aims at reducing the environmental impact of buildings or products, including the energy consumption throughout their entire life cycle. Eco-design is consequently the process of incorporating environmental considerations during all (as early as possible) phases of the design of buildings or objects. Eco-design is for that reason closely related to life cycle thinking. All the case studies deal with the principles of Reusability, Recyclability and Recoverability of urban and industrial waste such as packaging and thus explore structural capacities to become inhabited devices such as playgrounds, dwellings or furniture. Low-tech fabrication is the optimal medium to test and materialise our Eco-design outcomes, throughout the method of ‘bricolage’ or Do-It-Yourself (DIY), an elementary fabrication process that is 100% personal involvement and enhancement of manual skills, which are dormant due to an education based on abstraction and merely cognitive aspects rather than material competences. Through comparative teaching and design methods, this study critically explores the principles of low-tech and high-design carried out in several international workshops led by the author in Spain, Slovenia, Chile and the UK, since 2004. This study focuses in the teaching and learning systems of eco-fabrication implemented in several design studios and compact workshops.

Minimum game plans : eco-design and low-tech fabrication in studios

Si les video game studies se sont et se developpent largement en anglais, on peut affirmer sans chauvinisme qu’ils ont souffert de ne pas pouvoir lire Jacques Henriot. Certes, parce qu’elles ont ete traduites dans la langue de Shakespeare des 1961, ce sont les reflexions de Roger Caillois dans Les jeux et les hommes (1958) qui ont ete le plus considerees durant l’emergence des etudes du jeu video. Mais par le fait meme, et de toute evidence a la suite des travaux de Huizinga, ce sont davantage la definition et les formes du jeu qui ont d’abord interpelle les chercheurs. Bien que Caillois se soit aussi interesse a l’attitude psychologique du joueur face au jeu (et qu’inversement l’auteur de Le Jeu [1969] et Sous couleur de jouer : la metaphore ludique [1989] ait egalement propose une definition), Henriot a quant a lui reellement reflechi a la conduite necessaire au jeu et exigee par le jouer. En lisant les travaux du fondateur des sciences du jeu tout an proposant un survol des recherches en video games studies, cet article souhaite montrer comment, sans parler de jeu video, Henriot avait deja l’“attitude” pour en etudier les tenants et aboutissants.
