Biography
editPierre-Antoine Chardel holds a doctorate in philosophy and social sciences from the EHESS and a PhD from Laval University in Quebec, Canada (2000).[3] He has taught at Laval University's Faculty of Philosophy, New York University (NYU in Paris), and the engineering school Supélec, before joining the Department of Languages and Social Sciences (LSH) at the National Institute of Telecommunications (now Télécom SudParis) as an associate professor. There, he founded and led the interdisciplinary research team ETOS (Ethics, Technologies, Organizations, Society) from 2003 to 2011.[4]
He holds an Habilitation to Direct Research (HDR) in social sciences, which he obtained in March 2012 at the University of Paris (Faculty of Social Sciences - Sorbonne). He is qualified to serve as a university professor by the National Council of Universities (CNU) in philosophy, sociology, and epistemology,[5] and he currently serves as a professor of humanities and ethics at the management school of the Institut-Mines Télécom (IMT-BS), at the Institut Polytechnique de Paris, and as a research director at the doctoral school of the EHESS. Chardel is also a member of the editorial boards of the journals Études digitales, Revue Politique et Parlementaire, and Condition humaine/condition politique.
Research
editChardel's research focuses on the evolution of subjectivation processes and collective action in hypermodern societies. He is particularly influenced by thinkers such as Jacques Derrida, Zygmunt Bauman, Edgar Morin, Emmanuel Levinas, Bernard Stiegler, and Andrew Feenberg.[6]
Questioning tele-communicative action
editPart of his work addresses the idea that communication studies, especially in relation to new technologies, often overlook the issue of subjectivities. Analyzing dematerialization as an existential challenge involves examining the characteristics of tele-communicative action, not just communicative action, and the digital transformation.[7]
Ethical questions in hypermodernity
editGiven the numerous questions raised by hypermodern environments and the dominance of screens (smartphones, computers) in our lives, Chardel draws on text theories and hermeneutics to develop an ethics of interpretation in the digital age. Everyday screens are viewed as full cultural experiences, engaging our condition as interpreting beings.[8]
Sociology of digital practices and information ecology
editChardel explores how the expansion of digital mediations contributes to the development of new self-practices (through social networks and other forms of online sociability) and raises questions about the economy of affects that is prevalent in "liquid" modern societies. His work on Zygmunt Bauman highlights these issues.[9][10]
