This is particularly true of life courses, where this type of process is frequently observed in the field. To avoid seeing bifurcations everywhere, without giving up on detecting and characterising them, it is useful to give a definition. The point of view presented in this paper is that the notion of bifurcation implies thinking about the place of unpredictability in social activities as well as the question of irreversibilities, i.e. configurations of people and resources whose maintenance over time has different causes from those that explain their emergence. While bifurcations are generally analysed a posteriori, from the outside, it is also interesting to consider how people view the unpredictability of situations and their possible consequences. This second aspect will also be addressed. 12h-12h30 - News from the axis and the laboratory<\/p>","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false},"tags":[],"event_type":[3],"event_type_2":[],"class_list":["post-31440","ajde_events","type-ajde_events","status-publish","hentry","event_location-mmsh-salle-paf","event_type-autres"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/mesopolhis.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Seminaires-Axe-1-2-724x1024.png\")
