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.

"Mark Lee considers that the current gains in machine learning and deep learning will not produce robots that can interact effectively with humans. The book then explores how robots can become more human-like, more general-purpose, and more social. The book introduces us to the core ideas in Developmental Robotics - showing how this new approach can "grow" robots through (their own) experience rather than building them from design. Original aspects include demonstrating that social robots must be embodied, that embodiment will be necessary for general artificial intelligence, and that threats from advanced technology are not inevitable but avoidable by involving human, social, and ethical issues. The material covers a wide scope; from simple robots to advanced AI. This gives an overview of this area and an appreciation of the main advances, problems, and issues. The scope if the readership is intended to be wide: aimed at a general, educated but not specialist audience. For this reason, an engineering viewpoint is adopted; technical details and philosophical aspects are minimized, thus promoting a practical perspective. The aim is to present the fundamental ideas behind AI and robotics in a clear, accessible form, appealing to common sense, so as to encourage the general reader to build their own informed assessment of these technologies. The hope is to reach a wide public readership - reaching anyone who wishes to know what robotics is about, where it is going, and what its limitations are"--
