Objectivity has a history, and it is full of surprises. In Objectivity, Lorraine Daston and Peter Galison chart the emergence of objectivity in the mid-nineteenth-century sciences—and show how the concept differs from its alternatives, truth-to-nature and trained judgment. This is a story of lofty epistemic ideals fused with workaday practices in the making of scientific(...)

Summary:
Objectivity has a history, and it is full of surprises. In Objectivity, Lorraine Daston and Peter Galison chart the emergence of objectivity in the mid-nineteenth-century sciences—and show how the concept differs from its alternatives, truth-to-nature and trained judgment. This is a story of lofty epistemic ideals fused with workaday practices in the making of scientific images. From the eighteenth through the early twenty-first centuries, the images that reveal the deepest commitments of the empirical sciences—from anatomy to crystallography—are those featured in scientific atlases, the compendia that teach practitioners what is worth looking at and how to look at it. Galison and Daston use atlas images to uncover a hidden history of scientific objectivity and its rivals. Whether an atlas maker idealizes an image to capture the essentials in the name of truth-to-nature or refuses to erase even the most incidental detail in the name of objectivity or highlights patterns in the name of trained judgment is a decision enforced by an ethos as well as by an epistemology.

En urbanisme, la sécurité est traditionnellement associée au modèle de la clôture, de la ville-forteresse.

Comment peut-on préserver les valeurs d'urbanité dans des espaces conçus pour éviter les croisements ? Tel est le défi que doivent relever les architectes et les urbanistes de la ville contemporaine.

En faisant de celle-ci un lieu propice à la créativité, en y combinant les ressources du talent, de la tolérance et de la technologie : c'est la recette proposée par le géographe et économiste Richard Florida pour réunir sous l'enseigne de " classe créative " artistes, intellectuels et prestataires de services aux grandes firmes. Un tel assemblage va-t-il de soi ? Il mêle hâtivement deux phénomènes distincts : d'une part, le processus de " gentrification " urbaine par lequel les " créateurs " - artistes et professions culturelles et intellectuelles - réinvestissent la ville, lieu d'opportunités et de rencontres ; d'autre part, un traitement volontariste et foncier du paysage urbain destiné à attirer les " créatifs " de la publicité et des banques. Mais peut-on attirer les " créatifs " sans faire fuir les " créateurs " ?

C’est par l’analyse de la société que l’on peut comprendre la ville. Les grandes régions urbaines contemporaines – les métapoles – matérialisent les caractéristiques de la société hypertexte. Elles en sont comme l’avant-garde. Aussi, un nouveau capitalisme cognitif et écologique apparaît où l’individu-roi peut «?naviguer?» entre les situations, les connaissances, les croyances, les milieux sociaux… accroissant les différenciations sociales. Comment ces processus façonnent-ils la société, et donc la ville ? François Ascher ne répond pas à cette question en utilisant les approches classiques. Au contraire, les siennes partent de différents points de vue – la politique, l’alimentation, la vie quotidienne… en laissant sa place à l’imprévu, qui est l’une des caractéristiques de notre modernité. Il faut aussi associer la connaissance et l’action, le débat scientifique et le débat politique. C’est à cette démarche que nous invite François Ascher dans ce livre, présenté et conçu par Alain Bourdin, qui alterne des genres différents : articles scientifiques, exposés pédagogiques, conférences dans le monde professionnel de l’urbain, interventions dans le débat public et politique. Un livre à l’image des propositions hypertextes de son auteur.
