WHY THIS WEBSITE?
The purpose of this website is to :
-
– provide an overview and explain the internal logic of a research and training work that covers various topics
– make a number of texts and conferences easily accessible, especially for colleagues, professionals and students
The site is available in French and English. Although part of my work is in French, I trust there is enough English language content (publications, filmed interventions, description of research topics, etc.) on the site to satisfy the English-speaking reader.
The pictures of the site were taken by myself, except for the pictures of birds taken by J. Salpeter.
