Ainsi depuis une vingtaine d’années, en réponse à l’essor des pratiques festivalières, on peut constater que de nombreux chercheurs européens, par exemple français, se sont spécialisés autour de [...]

Que permettent d’appréhender et de penser aujourd’hui les notions classiques d’effervescence et d’enchantement dans le champ des sciences humaines et sociales ? Quels types de problématiques sont-elles susceptibles d’éclairer de nos jours ? Leur héritage ouvre-t-il à de nouveaux usages, à de nouvelles compréhensions ?

In this article, we would like to contribute to the drawing of the contours of enchantment as a concept by confronting it to the scene of tabletop role playing game.

At first, we will discuss the environment of the [...]
