Soupçonnée d’imposture dès sa première rentrée littéraire, accusée d’être un homme âgé publiant sous un pseudonyme invraisemblable, Amélie Nothomb est une auteure qui – plus que d’autres – a dû s’inventer. Dans Les Identités d’Amélie Nothomb , Mark D. Lee revient sur les circonstances qui ont marqué les débuts d’une carrière extraordinaire et pour la première fois, il confronte les multiples constructions médiatiques de notre ‘barge belge’ avec l’énigme de l’invention identitaire qui se déploie dans son écriture fascinante, surtout dans Métaphysique des tubes . A travers des analyses accessibles aux spécialistes comme aux amateurs, Lee trace les différentes variations d’un roman familial dans la fiction de l’auteure et il explore l’élaboration et l’échec de sa version japonaise dans ses œuvres autobiographiques. Juxtaposant interviews et récits littéraires, Lee identifie ensuite un ‘désastre onomastique’, point de départ et fondement de la quête identitaire nothombienne et explore son retour unheimliche – étrangement inquiétant – dans la représentation de la sexualité, de la nationalité, et jusque dans la scène même de l’écriture. Entre baptêmes et ‘dé-baptêmes’, entre noyades, exorcismes et fantasmes nippons, Les Identités d’Amélie Nothomb est une étude fondamentale pour ceux et celles qui veulent comprendre la question cruciale de l’identité chez cette auteure.

"How to develop robots that will be more like humans and less like computers, more social than machine-like, and more playful and less programmed. Most robots are not very friendly. They vacuum the rug, mow the lawn, dispose of bombs, even perform surgery-but they aren't good conversationalists. It's difficult to make eye contact. If the future promises more human-robot collaboration in both work and play, wouldn't it be better if the robots were less mechanical and more social? In How to Grow a Robot, Mark Lee explores how robots can be more human-like, friendly, and engaging. Developments in artificial intelligence-notably Deep Learning-are widely seen as the foundation on which our robot future will be built. These advances have already brought us self-driving cars and chess match-winning algorithms. But, Lee writes, we need robots that are perceptive, animated, and responsive-more like humans and less like computers, more social than machine-like, and more playful and less programmed. The way to achieve this, he argues, is to "grow" a robot so that it learns from experience-just as infants do. After describing "what's wrong with artificial intelligence" (one key shortcoming: it's not embodied), Lee presents a different approach to building human-like robots: developmental robotics, inspired by developmental psychology and its accounts of early infant behavior. He describes his own experiments with the iCub humanoid robot and its development from newborn helplessness to ability levels equal to a nine-month-old, explaining how the iCub learns from its own experiences. AI robots are designed to know humans as objects; developmental robots will learn empathy. Developmental robots, with an internal model of "self," will be better interactive partners with humans. That is the kind of future technology we should work toward." [Publisher]

In this collection of idiosyncratic lessons, architect and teacher Pier Paolo Tamburelli engages with the very foundations of architecture, proposing a series of new and open-ended perspectives on how we build the world. Developed for the 'Grundkurs', or 'basic course', at Vienna Technical University, Tamburelli's lessons are presented through the annotated sketches that form the basis of his lectures - variously rough and precise, sarcastic and sincere, and always uniquely expressive. This volume is a rich visual sourcebook of architectural ideas that form an accessible and discursive introduction to the discipline - one which pauses on the road to grand theories to learn from the intuitive processes of notetaking, drawing, and association. Tamburelli's lessons are based around a series of dialectic couples, including Roof/Wall, Shelter/Memory, and Language/Action. The pairs are experimental and often provocative, offering a framework to be used to climb in the direction of architecture. Tamburelli trusts in the capacity of images to suspend the restraints of more rigorous theoretical approaches, embraces the flexible wisdom of the note, and relishes the intrigue of the cryptic messages we leave for ourselves. Reproduced here in their entirety, these eight lessons offer countless routes towards, through, and around architecture, providing newcomers and experts alike with an intimate and refreshing encounter with a millennia-old discipline.
