(en) [Towards other doctorates between divergent worlds] Summary Doctoral theses between divergent worlds are beautiful occasions for the doctoral candidates and the teams accompanying them to open themselves to other modes of developing knowledge and inventing new forms in adequation with alterity, interculturality and the unprecedented character of the phenomena studied. These occasions of overture and creation nevertheless run up against formidable obstacles occasioning rather closure and suffering. Such impasses, when they are recognized, worked through and overcome between the actors engaged, can lead to new paths and, if one learns collectively, blaze the trail and open the future. It is one thing to benefit from the difficulties faced in the course of a thesis and arrive, just the same, at a result which made it worthwhile. It is another thing to learn lessons from obstacles faced together to mark out future possible courses differently. Points of suffering which haunt intercultural doctoral journeys become benchmarks converging towards more open forms of construction of knowledge between divergent worlds.
