Study day
Pôle EAC

This study day deals with mediation as a focused practice, which creates relational elements based on a context (a place, a public, aesthetics, an institutional framework…). It examines mediation practices through the spatial, temporal and corporeal notion of “taking a position”.
Taking a position means being situated in terms of a context. Inside, beside, over, around, below, against, with… It also means adopting choices and making them perceptible by others. This implies a freedom of subjects who can choose where they want to be in a group, how they want to be with the group and the place they offer others. Taking a position also means positioning and re-positioning yourself, which implies a self-reflexivity that makes these practices alive and in motion. In the context of Camping, several institutions and schools have been invited so as to create a space for exchanges about mediation practices based on different French and international contexts.
