The French Institute in Israel is pleased to welcome the French sociologist Claude Rosental to its next Café des Sciences to discuss on his recent sociological observations from an high-tech event.
Claude Rosental will show how this event led to a massive production of public demonstrations, including public demonstrations of technology or “demos.” These performances offered a solutionist view of the world structured by solutions brought to problems of all kinds. Since a very large number of high-tech conferences and fairs are organized in Israel every year, he will explore one important component of what he calls a “demonstration society”.
