Vertical disposition is ordered by time: each layer is a different year of publications, from the lab’s foundation to nowadays. The layers displays the collaboration networks: two researchers are linked if they published together.
The vertical trajectories represent the activity of a researcher through the time.
The authors position is fix in the space. As consequence, the trajectories become a linear representation
of collaborations continuity. The laboratory is here transformed in a geometrical
structure which evolves in time despite the members instability.

Specifically, it aims at understanding the mechanisms through which a politics of transparency is enacted in different situations. We choose Wikipedia interface and Mediawiki software, as a first site of inquiry. Using digital methods, we try to evaluate the degree of "transparency" and "opacity" of the wikipedia platform. It appears that even if wikipedia interface seems transparent and with a low level of entree for content edition, the whole wikipedia governance seems difficult to appreciate from the interface. The analysis of the PHP source code of Mediawiki, gives us some metrics of the code complexity but this analysis is limited: most of the code generated is disseminated in hundreds of tools difficult to addressed. We want to show that the transparency of wikipedia is difficult to evaluate because of the interface effects revealing or hiding the negotiations about transparency between users and between the interface and the code.

Toute opacité est suspecte de cacher des pratiques douteuses (népotisme, corruption, détournement, abus) en faisant obstacle à une indispensable soif de vérité. Prenant à contre-pied cette aspiration commune à tout rendre transparent, on s’efforce ici de souligner certains des coûts, des écueils et des victimes collatérales de l’impératif de transparence agité aujourd’hui de façon irréfléchie dans nos discours publics.

The paradoxical logic of transparency and mediation
Transparency is the metaphor of our time. ... more The paradoxical logic of transparency and mediation
Transparency is the metaphor of our time. Whether in government or corporate governance, finance, technology, health or the media – it is ubiquitous today, and there is hardly a current debate that does not call for more transparency. But what does this word actually stand for and what are the consequences for the life of individuals? Can knowledge from the arts, and its play of visibility and invisibility, tell us something about the paradoxical logics of transparency and mediation? This Obscure Thing Called Transparency gathers contributions by international experts who critically assess the promises and perils of transparency today.
