Summary:
Taking as his starting point the simple vegetal conception of grafting, Michael Marder guides the reader through his concise and numerous reflections on what could be described as a vegetal philosophy. Grafts are transplants either of a shoot inserted into the trunk of another tree or, surgically, of skin (among other living tissues). They are delicate operations intended to preserve, improve, and modify both the grafted materials and the body that receives them. To graft is to create unlikely encounters, hybrid mixes, and novel surfaces. Moving across disciplinary lines, "Grafts" combines the lessons of plant science with the history of philosophy, semiotics, literary compositions, and political theory. Co-authoring some of the texts with other philosophers, plant scientists and artists, Marder allows their insights to be grafted onto his own, and vice versa.

Summary:
Elles sont les plus visibles, les plus colorées et aussi les plus grandes des formes vivantes. Pourtant rien ne semble plus compliqué qu’observer les plantes. Le botaniste Jean-Henri Fabre nous libère de l’embarras et fournit une solution. Ses « Leçons à mon fils sur la botanique » (1876), dont nous republions ici des extraits, s’efforcent à chaque fois d’ajouter un verbe au sujet : « la plante ». La plante vit longuement, respire, bouge, dort : elle agit dans tout ce qu’elle est. Transformer le sujet en prédicat, la substance en action : voici la tâche de la botanique lorsqu’elle devient une forme d’ethnographie végétale.
