DECRYPTION

With the postponement of the work of the Citizens' Climate Convention, the draft revision of the Constitution returns to the forefront of the news. The idea of submitting a constitutional amendment to a referendum will give rise to much debate. UP' Magazine offers its readers the opportunity to open up the debate with

Our time is devoted to new technologies; they occupy our daily lives, create our needs and have become indispensable to us. They promise us to cross all limits, even to the point of claiming to set back our death. Their credo has made us dream if not illusionary: "to change the world". One word

The health crisis has been going on for four months. The danger of an epidemic seems to be receding but the human, social and economic damage is revealing itself every day. Already the first assessments of our country's attitude during the crisis are taking shape. The Montaigne Institute has just published a detailed report analysing the action taken by our country during the crisis.

Freedom regained! headlines. After two and a half months of confinement, little by little, people come out, get together, relive, a little haggard, at the end of this strange period. The health crisis is dissipating, but it is giving way to a crisis.

At the end of May, when the Prime Minister has just announced a new deconfinement package, it is useful to make an initial transitional assessment of the Covid-19 epidemic. For Professor Jean-François Toussaint, who signs the following article, from the beginning of the crisis,

"Tonight, I share with you what we know and what we don't know." (Emmanuel Macron, address to the French, 13 April 2020). Here is a President of the Republic openly claiming his ignorance while experts publicly acknowledge that Covid-19 is far from having revealed all

However, in the uncertainty that now holds us back, there is one certainty: what we are experiencing - and are about to experience - is indecipherable with the software of the world before us. Impossible to invent a new human society with these references! The challenge had already been posed during

We can read and rethink everything through the Covid crisis: our institutions, our economic dynamics, our ecological and social policies. We can also read contributions from almost all sciences. Much has been said about the role of certain mathematical applications related to artificial intelligence.

In our post-viral world, major issues concerning the environment, education, and international relations arise. UNESCO has invited leading women thinkers, specialists in fields ranging from climatology to international relations, physics and African studies, to express their vision of the challenges and opportunities.

The acuity of the historical nature of the coronavirus comes largely from the triple conjunction of the immediacy of its impact, the consequences of its global magnitude and the evidence of its transformative nature. With a swiftness and certainty rarely so combined in international relations, there is a palpable consensus that the coronavirus is the most powerful virus of all.

Metaphors often allow for a better understanding of as many risk or hazard situations as possible, as in the case of the Covid-19 pandemic. They appear in almost every area of our lives, even penetrating research laboratories and playing a central role in

The pandemic confronts us with reality, our interdependencies, our vulnerabilities. It reminds us that it is futile to believe in world domination. Our rightful involvement lies in the art of composing, negotiating and resonating. So it all starts with consideration. To consider this virus, what it does to us.

For weeks we have been witnessing a series of "world reversals". The Covid19 pandemic comes to us from China. Is it the result of a transfer from animals to humans, a scientific error, or a "virological war"? Whatever the outcome of the "we are at war"...

For the physicist-philosopher Etienne Klein, confinement upsets our conception of space-time. It is true that the time of physics does not change: one minute always lasts sixty seconds, but it is our perception of time that changes in this confined space where everything becomes softer, without rhythm, a time

On Tuesday, the Prime Minister will present the framework for the government's plan to break out of containment. It would be neither understandable nor acceptable that the field expertise gained from the Covid-19 test should not be considered an indispensable resource in the argumentation of post-containment policy decisions. No tangible signs, beyond
