³How should the interface between cognition and consciousness, or between perception and mind, be called? This, our second issue devoted to theextra-human and cognitive spheres, explores such territory of thought, whichremains largely uncharted (see PARACHUTE 119 X human ­ AI).What are the reasons for this contemporary turn towards the discovery ofphenomena related to being and the consciousness of the world? How is one tonegotiate a place or a territory for the self in this techno-bio invasion?How does the present experience of the world enrich the consciousness ofself, the consciousness of the other, and the world in which we exist? How,on the other hand, is one to struggle against the annihilation of the selfwhich this sensory and cognitive tidal wave occasionally imposes?² (exerpt from Chantal Pontbriand¹s editorial)
