| Résumé : | The encyclopaedist and documentalist Paul Otlet (1868-1944) and the logical positivist and sociologist Otto Neurath (1882-1945) both used graphic and scenographic means to inform visitors or readers about the world they were living in, and they hoped to reform the visitor’s mode of seeing that world. Through visualizations, compiling these infographics in books, and displaying the info in the format of museological displays, Otlet and Neurath took into account the changing nature of visual media and structural transformations in pedagogical thought. Despite the similarities of their respective projects, Otlet and Neurath adhered to a different positivist philosophy of science, which I will describe in this paper through the model of the pyramid and mozaics,, and the consequences that this had in their interaction with international politics that included a politics of education. |
