A comparative study of form and theology in the works of Flannery O'Connor and Simone Weil
No full textIn this comparative study of the form and theology of Flannery O'Connor and Simone Weil I interrogate how Weil's philosophical writings and her theology illuminate O'Connor's use of both narrative and non-fictional forms, and her Catholicism. The Introduction analyses how Weil's concept of superposed reading provides a new method of approaching both O'Connor, her writings, and O'Connor
studies, and focuses on how such apparently different women interconnect. Chapter One explores how both Weil and O'Connor attempt to write their theologies on the
souls of their readers yet are each subject to constraints imposed by form. Weil's concept of locating equilibrium between incommensurates is discussed, and her
distinctively philosophical approach to fictions and fictionality is used to investigate O'Connor's notion of prophetic fictions and the writer's role. Chapter Two assesses how both writers revivify Christian paradoxes. Weil's monstrous concept of affiiction, and O'Connor's use of the grotesque genre to jolt secular man into an
awareness of the sacred are scrutinised. Chapter Three studies how both writers consider an encounter between God and man is possible through the action of grace. My Conclusion interrogates how Weil's work can deepen our understanding of O'Connor's writings, and examines how successful O'Connor is at realising a truly
Christian literature. I conclude that despite being a writer of powerful fictions, O'Connor can not be totally successful in her mission as writer-prophet because
ultimately fiction escapes orthodoxy

Armand Hatchuel et Benoit Weil - la théorie C-K, un fondement formel aux théorie de l'innovation
No full textInternational audienceUn chapitre sur Armand Hatchuel et Benoit Weil et sur la théorie la théorie C-K1 dont ils sont les auteurs s’imposait : leurs propositions scientifiques sont discutées et publiées dans toutes les communautés qui comptent pour le management de l’innovation. Ce succès tient notamment au parti qu’ils ont pris il y a près de trente ans d’aborder les questions d’innovation à partir de l’activité collective qui en est la source, la conception, et d’aborder cette activité de conception à partir d’une théorie aussi universelle que possible du raisonnement de conception. Ce chapitre rend compte de cette démarche, en précisant d’abord le contexte initial des travaux, contexte aussi bien industriel que scientifique, puis en présentant les traits principaux de la théorie C-K et les espaces intellectuels qu’elle ouvre et en indiquant finalement les principaux impacts de la théorie C-K
