Abstract

This workshop will discuss the way securityand technological escalation have impacted State borders over the last twenty years. It will implement a trans-disciplinary perspective by bringing together human scientists (historians, sociologists, anthropologists, geographers, philosophers, political scientists), hard scientists (artificial intelligence ,computer sciences) and artists (webart, hypermedia).
