[ANTHROPOLOGY #2] The need for storytelling

In their work, feeding off their personal sensitivity and judgment, scriptwriters are often unaware of their anthropological or societal role, of their geographical affiliation (or not) or of their interpretation of the world we live in.
In what way can we help them to better understand the consequences of what they are aiming to develop?

In this segment, participating researchers will share their hypotheses on the nature of the anthropological function of storytelling. For example, for Johan Braeckman, a Flemish philosopher, the fictional narrative is a kind of “flight simulator” which prepares us for interactions with our fellow kind, with the outside world with its transmutations and dangers.
