In this episode, Sébastien Tutenges, a researcher in bars, nightclubs, festivals, and underground dance parties, explores why people gather to intoxicate themselves. He discusses the concept of collective effervescence, the role of transgression in human behavior, the significance of symbols in creating social solidarity, and the elements of effervescence and its importance in society. The podcast also examines the destabilizing effects of heavy drinking practices during nightlife and the role of Zoom classrooms in creating interactive learning environments.
