L'éthologie contemporaine a opéré une révolution majeure dont on n'a pas encore pris la mesure. Les représentations classiques de l'animal ne sont plus tenables : l'opposition entre nature et culture ne suffit plus à rendre compte de la différence qui sépare l'homme de l'animal. Une véritable ethnologie est désormais nécessaire pour comprendre de nombreuses sociétés animales comme celles des chimpanzés, des éléphants ou de certains mammifères marins. Réexaminant les notions d'outil, de communication, de rationalité, Dominique Lestel montre que les comportements culturels ne constituent pas une rupture propre à l'humain, mais qu'ils émergent progressivement dans l'histoire du vivant. Il suggère par ailleurs que certains animaux doivent être considérés comme d'authentiques sujets dotés d'une histoire, d'une conscience de soi et de représentations complexes. Autant dire que le statut de l'humain doit être repensé de façon radicale : c'est là une des questions majeures du XXIe siècle.

This bold and brilliant book asks the ultimate question of the life sciences: How did the human mind acquire its incomparable power? In seeking the answer, Merlin Donald traces the evolution of human culture and cognition from primitive apes to artificial intelligence, presenting an enterprising and original theory of how the human mind evolved from its presymbolic form.

In December 2012, the exuberant video "Gangnam Style" became the first YouTube clip to be viewed more than one billion times. Thousands of its viewers responded by creating and posting their own variations of the video--"Mitt Romney Style, " "NASA Johnson Style, " "Egyptian Style, " and many others. "Gangnam Style" (and its attendant parodies, imitations, and derivations) is one of the most famous examples of an Internet meme: a piece of digital content that spreads quickly around the web in various iterations and becomes a shared cultural experience. In this book, Limor Shifman investigates Internet memes and what they tell us about digital culture. Shifman discusses a series of well-known Internet memes -- including "Leave Britney Alone, " the pepper-spraying cop, LOLCats, Scumbag Steve, and Occupy Wall Street's "We Are the 99 Percent." She offers a novel definition of Internet memes: digital content units with common characteristics, created with awareness of each other, and circulated, imitated, and transformed via the Internet by many users. She differentiates memes from virals; analyzes what makes memes and virals successful; describes popular meme genres; discusses memes as new modes of political participation in democratic and nondemocratic regimes; and examines memes as agents of globalization. Memes, Shifman argues, encapsulate some of the most fundamental aspects of the Internet in general and of the participatory Web 2.0 culture in particular. Internet memes may be entertaining, but in this book Limor Shifman makes a compelling argument for taking them seriously.
