    Content of Learning Activity

    The course in a first step gives an insight into the 'invention of method' in the context of modern science. Thus rendered attentive to the historicity specific to the methodological approaches that are often presented as objective and neutral without having to be further questioned, the course allows the students to grasp the strengths and the limits of a given method and thus to develop and to refine a critical spirit. In a second and third step, the course introduces a range of methodological propositions from the social and political sciences such as the symmetric approach proposed by ANT, or even more explicitly engaged approaches. Through these different approaches the course allows students to question and refine the deontological attachments to the ideal of neutrality as we are used to conceive them.
