The Humanities Lab, founded by Laurent Dubreuil in 2019, offers an intellectual forum to scholars who conduct research at the interface of the sciences and the humanities, while eschewing reductionism.

We are currently working on four major lines of inquiry:

• artificial intelligence and the humanities—including experimental approaches to literature;
• poetics and noetics—examining the creative potentialities of the “languaged” mind, especially through literature, with a special attention to reflexive features;
• human animal studies—assessing the conditions of possibilities for the emergence of the human animal, by moving across the species barrier;
• theoretical transfers—fostering the circulation of ideas, concepts, notions, motifs, practices and epistemic constructs between the sciences, the humanities, and the arts.
