Au printemps 1996, une revue americaine fort respectee -- Social Text -- publiait un article au titre etrange : " Transgresser les frontieres : vers une hermeneutique transformative de la gravitation quantique. " Son auteur, Alan Sokal, etayait ses divagations par des citations d'intellectuels celebres, francais et americains. Peu apres, il revelait qu'il s'agissait d'une parodie. Son but etait de s'attaquer, par la satire, a l'usage intempestif de terminologie scientifique et aux extrapolations abusives des sciences exactes aux sciences humaines. Plus generalement, il voulait denoncer le relativisme postmoderne pour lequel l'objectivite est une simple convention sociale. Ce canular a declenche un vif debat dans les milieux intellectuels, en France et a l'etranger. Dans ce livre, les auteurs ont rassemble et commente des textes illustrant les mystifications physico-mathematiques de Jacques Lacan, Julia Kristeva, Luce Irigaray, Bruno Latour, Jean Baudrillard, Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari et Paul Virilio, auteurs qui jouissent tous d'une grande notoriete aux Etats-Unis. Ils montrent que, derriere un jargon imposant et une erudition scientifique apparente, le roi est nu. Alan Sokal est professeur de physique a l'universite de New York. Jean Bricmont est professeur de physique theorique a l'universite de Louvain.

The Culture of the Copy is a novel attempt to make sense of the Western fascination with replicas, duplicates, and twins. In a work that is breathtaking in its synthetic and critical achievements, Hillel Schwartz charts the repercussions of our entanglement with copies of all kinds, whose presence alternately sustains and overwhelms us. This updated edition takes notice of recent shifts in thought with regard to such issues as biological cloning, conjoined twins, copyright, digital reproduction, and multiple personality disorder. At once abbreviated and refined, it will be of interest to anyone concerned with problems of authenticity, identity, and originality. Through intriguing, and at times humorous, historical analysis and case studies in contemporary culture, Schwartz investigates a stunning array of simulacra: counterfeits, decoys, mannequins, and portraits; ditto marks, genetic cloning, war games, and camouflage; instant replays, digital imaging, parrots, and photocopies; wax museums, apes, and art forgeries―not to mention the very notion of the Real McCoy. Working through a range of theories on biological, mechanical, and electronic reproduction, Schwartz questions the modern esteem for authenticity and uniqueness. The Culture of the Copy shows how the ethical dilemmas central to so many fields of endeavor have become inseparable from our pursuit of copies―of the natural world, of our own creations, indeed of our very selves. The book is an innovative blend of microsociology, cultural history, and philosophical reflection, of interest to anyone concerned with problems of authenticity, identity, and originality.
