“…The results of this study have shed light on some prevalent assumptions and presuppositions about perception, and have helped to position the enactive approach in relation to the current debates about prosthetic perception in the cognitive sciences. In particular, the results support the notion that enactive interfaces are able to generate qualitatively new forms of perceptual interaction with the environment (e.g., [31], [48], [4]), and that our modalities of perception are more dynamically assembled than traditional thinking on perceptual modalities would have us believe (e.g., [37], [32]). An enactive approach to technology thus responds positively to the call made by McCarthy and Wright [35] for a more central consideration of lived experience in technology design.…”

“…Previous work in this area has already shown the value of using minimal technological interfaces in the science of perception (e.g., [32], [5], [2]. The ET is an original contribution to this domain.…”

“…It only provides a single measure of distance. Accordingly, the epistemic shift from receiving an isolated stimulus of distance to determining an object's position in 3D space, as well as the shift from determining an object's position in space to recognizing its identity, must be actively supported by the user's movements [32].…”

Abstract-The cognitive sciences are increasingly coming to terms with the embodied, embedded, extended, and experiential aspects of the mind. Exemplifying this shift, the enactive approach points to an essential role of goal-directed bodily activity in the generation of meaningful perceptual experience, i.e., sense-making. Here, building on recent insights into the transformative effects of practical tooluse, we make use of the enactive approach in order to provide a definition of an enactive interface in terms of augmented sensemaking. We introduce such a custom-built interface, the Enactive Torch, and present a study of its experiential effects. The results demonstrate that the user experience is not adequately captured by any standardly assumed perceptual modality; rather, it is a new feeling that is mediated by the design of the device and shaped by the overall situation of the task. Taken together these findings show that there is much to be gained by synergies between engineering and the cognitive sciences in the creation of new experiencecentered technology. We suggest that the guiding principle should be the design of interfaces that serve as a transparent medium for augmenting our natural skills of interaction with the world, instead of requiring conscious attention to the interface as an opaque object in the world.

“…Toutes les activités humaines sont « artificielles », c'est-à-dire portées par les outils et milieux techniques que nous recevons et modifions. L'objectif général de cette recherche est de comprendre comment chaque outil, chaque médiation ou dispositif technique, transforme nos façons de percevoir, de penser, de mémoriser, d'interagir et de construire du sens partagé (Steiner, 2010). Ceci peut mobiliser à chaque fois, non seulement la psychologie, l'ergonomie, l'anthropologie, la sociologie, l'histoire et la philosophie, les sciences économiques et de gestion, mais aussi le savoir technique lui-même, qui porte ses propres contraintes et ses propres questions.…”

“…Comme le remarque avec humour Bruno Latour, ce que 05001-p.7 SHS Web of Conferences nous apprend l'intelligence artificielle c'est que depuis toujours l'intelligence est artificielle (Latour, 1992). Dès lors, charge aux sciences cognitives de rendre compte de la cognition comme outillée, ce qui conduit à une approche externaliste telle qu'on le trouve dans le paradigme alternatif de la cognition incarnée, située ou distribuée (embodied and embedded) (Chemero, 2009 ;Lenay & Steiner, 2010 ;De Preester, 2011). Plutôt que par des représentations mentales internes, l'activité cognitive se déroulerait dans un environnement outillé qui s'étend dans l'espace même des inscriptions externes.…”

Résumé. Nous proposons ici une approche originale de la technologie dans les sciences humaines et sociale (SHS), approche qui sera développée dans le cadre d'un groupement d'intérêt scientifique (GIS) pour l'unité des technologies et des sciences de l'homme. En effet, la place des SHS dans l'organisation de la recherche et des enseignements dispensés dans les écoles d'ingénieurs pose question. Les attentes vis-à-vis des enseignants-chercheurs sont souvent l'objet de malentendus et renvoient pour partie à une méconnaissance réciproque entre SHS et sciences pour l'ingénieur (SPI) mais aussi, plus fondamentalement à une coupure entre enseignement et recherche. Ces obstacles illustrent également la difficulté à mettre en place une recherche interdisciplinaire pérenne qui associe SHS et SPI. Nous proposons ici une initiative qui vise à fonder une recherche interdisciplinaire de ce type sur la question de la « constitutivité mutuelle » de l'Homme et de la technique. Abstract.We propose an original approach to technology in the humanities and social sciences (HSS), an approach that will be developed as part of a scientific interest group (SIG) for the unity of technologies and human sciences. Indeed, the place of the HSS in the organization of research and education given in engineering schools and technical universities raises many questions. Expectations related to this training are very often a source of misunderstandings, due to a mutual ignorance between HSS and engineering sciences (ES), but also to a separation between research and education. These issues illustrate as well the difficulties encountered by the general project of an interdisciplinary research associating HSS and ES. We propose here an initiative which aims at building an interdisciplinary project grounded on the question of the relationship of "mutual shaping" between human and technology. a
