Éditorial n°8
What's the point of an e-zine editorial? To give color to the issue it opens? In our case, it's more a question of unity of tone for issue 8 of _Design, Arts, Médias_, as for all its predecessors. Rereading our magazine's editorials before writing this one, it's basically the critical spirit that, once again, drives our editorial line. But this critical spirit does not go without being propositional. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Les vulnérabilités à l’épreuve de la sobriété : apports et perspectives pour les disciplines de conception
The increasing scarcity of resources and environmental constraints are having a major impact on design issues. What changes can be made to project design to take account of these vulnerabilities? These new forms of sobriety, far from impoverishing projects, allow them to be deployed in creative or even militant ways, opening up dynamic and lively perspectives.

Le design et ses pratiques (volet 2). De la reconnaissance à l'action
This dossier contains around thirty interviews with French and foreign designers. The aim of this survey is to identify how these professionals feel their skills are recognised, and the link they make between their profession and a commitment to both ethics and politics. This field survey, conducted with the help of students from the Design, Arts, Media 2 master's programme (Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne), aims to test the hypotheses formulated in the research seminar Towards a critical theory of design. These interviews are preceded by a text outlining the purpose of the seminar and the general conclusions reached by the survey.

Moments techniques en design graphique : du medium dans l’histoire des idées et des pratiques
This article aims to analyze the representations of the medium used in graphic design circles with History of idea and the philosophy of techniques. Here we choose four significant moments for the practice of design: medium-controlled-by-science, material-essence-medium, normative-network-medium, expressive-medium. History and philosophy can restore the major societal issues at work behind the descriptions of technology that we have inherited. This short overview of definitions allows us to situate the transformations and circulations of our representations of the medium: they are produced by the literate class of the society, they do give a certain turnaround to our perceptions.

Les dimensions de l'espace sonore : concevoir l'expérience du public dans une installation immersive
Following residencies in the polar regions, Arctic Music, a 5.1 immersive sound installation, is created. During the post-production, the question arises of how best to conceive the experience of the public within such an apparatus. Yet spatialization enables three dimensions of sound space to be deployed: aesthetic, kinaesthetic, and political. It thus offers a singular experience, potentially opening up the audience to an ecological awareness.

Les vulnérabilités à l’épreuve de la sobriété : apports et perspectives pour les disciplines de conception
For this seventh thematic issue, the journal Design, Arts, Médias is calling for contributions on the subject of vulnerability, its links with sobriety and the ways in which it informs design projects. By putting the concepts of vulnerability and sobriety into perspective in our "risk society", we hope to raise interdisciplinary and inter-professional questions in the fields of design, architecture and urban planning. We'll be looking at the ways in which they renew the way we design, focusing in particular on access to resources, capacities for action, survival strategies, means of subsistence, the quest for meaning, and people's empowerment.
