The summer is here and we think about... LOVE! If you think about it too, join our conference Love and S*x in Digital Age, 5-9 September, Sozopol, Bulgaria.
And here is a brief introduction of Pascal Lardellier's talk for the conference:

Find me somebody to love...
For two decades, the increase of meeting websites for singles has helped to introduce technology and “industrialize” the emotional-s*xual relationships. This conference would like to first tell the technical and social history of those sites, and explain what are the strategies (with the computers, with identities, with pictures and auto-narration...) adopted by users of those sites, to try to meet the "good persons". What we have called "polygaming" (review "Sciences de la société", Montréal, 2014) is a part of those strategies, to have s*x experiences and to "meet love", possibly.
Widely, I will demonstrate that the principles of liberalism as doctrine have taken over love relationships in a variety of ways, because a new relationship economy, based on effectiveness, interchangeability, performance and profitability, largely prevails over these meeting websites. Our ambition is at least to purpose a sociological and philosophical about what love has became nowadays.

A Reading on Feminism and Po*******hy Through Juri Lotman`s Explosion and Culture: Reflections.
by MEGA Afaf

"It is quiet agreed that many cultural movements have witnessed moments of innovation or using the term of Juri Lotman explosion. As such, we can talk of the feminist movement which witnessed three distinguished waves in its
development was able to fight mainly against gender discrimination and the recognition of the woman as an independent and free individual.
Feminism is a complex movement. It intersects with history, politics and religion. In additon, It is admitted that many feminist activists became parts of other movements like the Black Civil Rights movement in America ot the gay and le***an movements which reflects other trajectories which feminism is taking.
On the light of this, we would like to present a reading of the feminist movement through Juri Loman Theory of explosion and culture where we depict moments of gradual processes and exlposion and more important we shed some light on the paradox within the feminist movement displayed in the
digital po*******hy which represents the other side of the downfall of feminism.
As a conclusion, the end of the reaserch induces us to question the presence of the norm in feminism as a concept and a theory, and as cultures differ, can we
speak of universal norms?".

The paper will presented during the XXIII EFSS Conference: Love and S*x in Digital Age, Sozopol, Bulgaria, 5-9 September 2018.
