Une éthique énonciative des concepts socionumériques face à la naturalisation du numérique dans la société ?

Abstract

How to observe the process of naturalization to take it into account in an academic enunciative ethics? This article presents a problematization of the naturalization of socio-digital concepts in the context of conflicts of interest, of an epistemic order, specific to the academic eristic framing of digital technologies. . This problematization is implemented, by a definition of the ethical values and academic integrity of critical research on socio-digital devices (section 2), and the presentation of a case study of work on the algorithm in France (section 3), in a sociosemiotic approach based on grounded theory. It points to a paradoxical phenomenon: the critical function of academic research and university teaching on the uses of digital technologies is threatened by the interdisciplinary implications specific to their social, legal, economic and political issues.
