Tribute to John Stewart
As we sent issue #73 to press, we learned of the passing of
John Stewart
on January 31, 2021

The story of John and Intellectica goes back to the year 1993. We will miss his intelligence, immense knowledge, humor and kindness. Our thoughts are with his family, friends, and colleagues.
A tribute to him will be paid in a forthcoming publication: issue #76 to be published in late 2021 will consist of texts discussing his research work. The call for papers will open in September.
A seminar "Life and Cognition. A Tribute to John Stewart (1941-2021)" was organized by the CRED team of the UTC COSTECH, most of whose lectures are available here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC98U3FjeMg-scD6zYa3d9Jg/videos
Video interview of two members of Intellectica's EB
A filmed interview of two members of the editorial board of Intellectica has been made by Rémi Léger. The two members are:
- Magalie Ollagnier-Beldame, CNRS permanent researcher at UMR ICAR,
- Alain Mille, emeritus professor at Université Lyon 1, and former chief editor of Intellectica.
Both tell us about how they learned about the existence of Intellectica, what they especially like in the journal, which is their favorite issue of Intellectica, how they define cognition, why they think it was particularly relevant to make a new issue about Alan Turing (issue #72 published during the Winter 2020), and why being interested in embodied cognitioon (issue #74 published during the Summer 2021).
