L'opération LE VIRUS DE LA RECHERCHE En réaction à la situation inédite engendrée par le coronavirus, les PUG proposaient fin mars 2020 à leurs auteurs et aux chercheurs intéressés d'ouvrir la réflexion sur les enjeux de la crise de la Covid-19 vus par le monde de la recherche, sur la base d'une contribution libre et volontaire. La commande faite aux auteurs était alors de questionner les modes de formulation et de diffusion des savoirs. Les chercheurs sont des gens passionnés, atteints de ce virus de la recherche qui formate leurs réflexions sur la marche du monde, et il nous semblait que cette crise sociétale favorisait aussi un travail d'introspection sur les ressorts sensibles du métier de chercheur – ses tâtonnements, ses doutes, ses énigmes mais aussi ses espoirs. La collection « Le virus de la recherche » est née de cette intuition. Coordonnée par Alain Faure, directeur de recherche au CNRS (Sciences Po Grenoble, Pacte, UGA), elle rassemble les meilleurs textes issus de cette initiative dans une série d'e-books courts qui sont proposés en libre accès et en téléchargement sur le site des PUG ainsi que dans leur réseau de diffusion et chez tous les libraires en ligne. Le succès de l'aventure collective (avec plus de cinquante auteurs en un mois) et la fraîcheur d'un format inhabituel (10 000 signes) ont convaincu les PUG de prolonger cette expérience au-delà de la conjoncture particulière du coronavirus. La série continue donc sur ses trois qualités principales : des savoirs scientifiques accessibles, un style littéraire vif, une pensée réflexive sur le monde. La collection se pérennise, en se fixant pour défi de diffuser les résultats de la recherche au plus grand nombre, et de mettre en valeur ses travaux les plus novateurs, qu'ils proviennent de la jeune recherche, de chercheurs confirmés ou d'inclassables qui font avancer les savoirs à la croisée de la culture et de l'innovation. Bonne lecture à tous !

The book addresses the theme of youth climate activism building on the experience of FridaysForFuture activists and analyzing both their social representations of climate change and their social media usage practices. It accounts for the results of a qualitative research carried out with(in) the Roman group of the movement, adopting a solidarity-based epistemic stance that invites reflections both on activism and research practices. Drawing upon social representations theory, the authors analyze how the "Fridays" perceive climate change: as a socio-ecological crisis that comes from afar and has repercussions on the future, as something that affects everything and everyone; but also, as a generational problem whose environmental, social, and economic costs will be paid mainly by young people. On the other hand, guided by the literature on digital activism, the authors explore the way in which the activists inhabit social media: as constitutive environments of activism, where political and media practices define each other; but also, as environments that belong to young people and are characterized by age-specific communication styles. The two experiences related to climate change and the political usages of social media influence each other, giving rise to an unprecedented youth movement for the climate that can tell us about the transformations currently undergoing digital, environmental, and youth activism.
