Collection Interactions

Directeur : François Prunier 

The term "interactions" is ubiquitous in many fields, ranging from social sciences to hard sciences, including communication and technology. It refers, in particular, to the dynamic relationships between different elements, individuals, or systems. Interaction is essential for development, learning, and evolution, both at the individual and collective levels.

How do interactions shape our understanding of the world and our relationships with others?

Human interactions are the foundation of social life. From childhood, they enable the acquisition of language, social norms, and cultural values. They foster cooperation, the sharing of knowledge, and the evolution of ideas.

They take various forms: verbal, non-verbal, emotional or professional.

With the rise of digital technology, these interactions have evolved and now also take place via online platforms. They can also be a source of conflict or misunderstanding, for example, in an international context marked by cultural misunderstandings and geopolitical tensions.

Ethical and social questions also arise, particularly regarding the protection of personal data and the impact of social networks on human behavior.

This raises new issues such as the quality of communication, emotional management, and the impact on mental health. Effective human interaction relies on listening, empathy, and recognizing the uniqueness of others.


It could have been a banal love story, told as a family at the end of a meal on a Sunday afternoon. But when it calls into question the balance of an entire family, the priority of the relationships between a mother, her daughter, and her own mother, things risk going off the rails. At twenty, Valentine is a future star show jumper on her mare Love-Song, competing in one equestrian competition after another. Her mother is a high school English teacher, and Mounie, her retired grandmother, is the third person in this infernal trio. These three women, with strong personalities, will shake up all the established codes, all the stifling family secrets, because the only thing that matters to them is the respect and love they have for each other. This book is the recognition of a new form of freedom, claimed by three liberated women who speak to those who would not dare, to those who have been silent for so many years. It is also places, in the four corners of the world, that we discover, Singapore, Dubai, the Sultanate of Oman. Finally, this story is intended for all those who love to travel. It describes strong feelings between its characters and thus fits into the genre of contemporary novel exploring personal dilemmas, intergenerational dynamics as well as family conflicts that are resolved in the kitchen without the men of the house having access to it.

A child, Nicolas, speaks with a crow who introduces him to the hidden paths of magic once frequented by his father. Magic has its rules, and breaking them is not without surprises. A writer discovers fragments of strange texts in his basket that he did not write... But who is the author? In a world where hyper-connection is omnipresent and locks everything, including thoughts, what place can Jason, the child artist who gives shape to his dreams with the tip of his charcoal pencils, have? Can we control the dreams of humans in order to better enslave them? A totalitarian state has thought about it, creating a special intervention brigade for this purpose. But that was without counting on Arthur, the poet. In total, eleven short stories, eleven tales escaped from the gravity of reality by the flying carpet of the imaginary, dreams, or the fantastic.

It questions the working relationship and trust between social workers, the institutional environment, the police-justice duo, and the interference or misunderstandings with local elected officials. All these dimensions represent risks of dysfunctions that are detrimental to the child. Added to this are the history and emotional burden of the caregivers themselves...
