A propos

Professeur à l'université Grenoble Alpes, j'effectue l'essentiel de mes recherches dans le domaine de la philosophie de la mémoire, où, m'opposant à l'influente théorie causale, selon laquelle l'occurrence d'un souvenir d'un événement présuppose l'existence d'un lien causal de la sorte dite « appropriée » avec une expérience antérieure de cet événement, je soutiens une théorie simulationniste (initialement proposée dans mon livre en nom propre de 2016 et développée depuis dans plusieurs articles et chapitres) selon laquelle l'occurrence d'un souvenir ne présuppose pas l'existence d'un tel lien et revient simplement au fait d'imaginer l'événement dont il est question. Je travaille également sur diverses questions connexes, telles que le rapport entre le souvenir et l'imagination plus généralement (le débat continuiste-discontinuiste), les conditions de correction de représentations mnésiques (le débat aléthiste-authenticiste), le rapport entre le souvenir et le rêve, la dimension phénoménale du souvenir (l'autonoésis), la nature des erreurs mnésiques (fabulation, mésouvenir, ...), la mémoire d'observateur, la mémoire collective et la connaissance mnésique.

Financements (actuels et récents)

L'Agence nationale de la recherche vient d'accorder un financement PRME (projet de recherche mono-équipe) à SCARR (Simulationist and Causalist Accounts of Reference in Remembering), un projet portant sur les approches causalistes et simulationnistes de la référence mnésique qui aura une durée de deux ans et qui débute en septembre 2024 avec une équipe composée de moi-même en tant qu'investigateur principal, mon collaborateur fréquent Denis Perrin et Jakub Rudnicki en tant que post-doctorant.

En tant que membre senior de l'Institut universitaire de France de 2021 à 2026, je jouis d'une enveloppe de crédits de recherche ainsi que d'une réduction de mon service statutaire d'enseignement.

Je viens d'obtenir un financement du dispositif International Research Booster de l'UGA pour un projet sur les épistémologies générationistes du souvenir épisodic avec des partenaires en Estonie, au Japon, en Pologne et à Taïwan. Le projet débutera en 2024 et s'achèvera en 2015. Je suis actuellement le coordinateur français d'un projet sur la mémoire et l'imagination financé par le programme franco-brésilien CAPES-COFECUB. Le projet a débuté en 2020 et arrivera à son terme à la fin de 2024. Je suis également membre de l'équipe d'un projet sur les émotions et le voyage mental dans le temps financé par le programme franco-taïwanais ORCHID. Le projet a débuté en 2023 et arrivera à son terme à la fin de 2024.

De 2018 à 2022, j'ai détenu un « environnement IDEX » de l'Initiative d'excellence (IDEX) Université Grenoble Alpes. Entre autres choses, cet environnement a financé les salaires de deux post-doctorants.

J'ai également bénéficié d'un certain nombre de financements pour des séjours de recherche. Récemment, j'ai reçu un soutien de la Japan Society for the Promotion of Science pour un séjour au Shibaura Institute of Technology et à l'université de Fukuoka et j'ai été Mercator fellow sur l'unité de recherche DFG FOR 2812 (Constructing Scenarios of the Past) à l'université de la Ruhr à Bochum.

Encadrements (actuels et récents)

Si vous souhaitez potentiellement faire un post-doctorat ou un doctorat sous ma direction, n'hésitez pas à me contacter. Sachez, par contre, que les financements doctoraux sont difficiles à obtenir en France et qu'il n'existe aucun programme de financement post-doctoral au niveau national.

Post-doctorants

A partir du mois de september 2024, je dirigerai Jakub Rudnicki, post-doctorant SCARR (voir ci-dessus). J'accueillerai également Jelena Markovic, qui partagera son temps pendant son post-doctorat à la Maison de la création et de l'innovation entre la MaCI et le CPM.

Je dirige actuellement un post-doctorant financé par une bourse Marie Skłodowska-Curie de la Commission Européenne : Nikola Andonovski, dont le projet, MEMOCAUSE, porte sur la causation dans le souvenir épisodique. J'ai récemment dirigé le post-doctorat, également financé par une bourse Marie Skłodowska-Curie, de James Openshaw, dont le projet, MEMOBJECT, porte sur la mémoire objectuelle. Le docteur Openshaw est actuellement maître de conférences à l'université de technologie de Nanyang.

J'ai récemment encadré Chris McCarroll (actuellement maître de conférences à l'université nationale Yang Ming Chiao Tung) et André Sant'Anna (actuellement Ambizione Fellow à l'université de Genève, financé par le Fonds national suisse) en tant que post-doctorants, les deux financés par l'IDEX Université Grenoble Alpes.

Doctorants

Je dirige actuellement le doctorat de Juan F. Álvarez, financé par l'école doctorale 487 (Philosophie, histoire, création, représentation), qui porte sur la compatibilité de l'hypothèse de l'esprit étendu et diverses théories de la mémoire ; ce doctorat a lieu dans le cadre d'une cotutelle entre l'UGA et l'université de la Ruhr à Bochum, avec Markus Werning comme co-directeur. Je dirige également le doctorat de Nicolas Crozatier, qui porte sur les possibles effets de formes de réalité augmentée sur la mémoire ; ce doctorat a lieu dans le cadre d'une cotutelle entre l'UGA et l'université Macquarie, avec Neil Levy comme co-encadrant.

J'ai récemment encadré le doctorat de Vilius Dranseika sur la mémoire et l'identité personnelle. Le docteur Dranseika est à présent chercheur à l'université Jagellon.

Responsabilités (actuelles, sélection)

A l'UGA, je dirige le Centre de philosophie de la mémoire (CPM) au sein de l'Institut de philosophie de Grenoble (IPhiG). Outre les diverses tâches liées à ce rôle, qui incluent l'organisation de colloques, de workshops et de séminaires, l'accueil de chercheurs et de doctorants invités et la maintenance de PhilMemBib (une base de données compréhensive de publications en philosophie de la mémoire), je suis actuellement vice-président de la Société de philosophie analytique (SoPhA) et j'ai été par le passé membre du comité de pilotage de la Philosophy of Memory Organization (PhOMO). Je co-dirige la collection « Philosophy of Memory and Imagination » chez Oxford University Press, je suis membre du comité de rédaction de la Review of Philosophy and Psychology et je suis membre des comités scientifiques de plusieurs revues, y compris Memory Studies et Memory, Mind & Media.

Enseignements (actuels)

J'enseigne aux niveaux de la licence et du master au département de philosophie à l'UGA. Remarquez que nous proposons un parcours en philosophie de la cognition au sein du master.

Je fais aussi régulièrement un cours dans le cadre du master en sciences cognitives à Grenoble INP.
