Chapitre 4. Fiction et urgence climatique
“All this universe is perfused with signs”
Where are other minds? What networks of communication keep them together and enable us to connect? I will address these questions in the following pages by relying on philosophical essays and works of SF (science fiction/speculative fiction). More precisely, I propose to associate the imaginary worlds in Frank Herbert’s renowned novel Dune and those in Les Naufragés du Temps, a series of bandes dessinées (comics) authored by Paul Gillon and Jean-…
Humans Optimize Ground Contact Time and Leg Stiffness to Minimize the Metabolic Cost of Running
Trained endurance runners appear to fine-tune running mechanics to minimise metabolic cost. Referred to as self-optimisation, the support for this concept has primarily been collated from only a few gait (e.g. stride frequency, length) and physiological (e.g., oxygen consumption, heart rate) characteristics. To extend our understanding, the aim of this study was to examine the effect of manipulating ground contact time on the metabolic cost of ru…
Literature as a defining trait of the human umwelt
Writers and readers of literature are, among other things, biological en tities that evolve under particular political (geographical/historical) conditions. A comparative study of certain texts by Martin Heidegger (1889–1976) can help us establish a fruitful interpretation of this threefold link between literary art, biology and politics. However, careful analysis reveals that Heidegger remains too rooted in an old-world, nationalistic and anthro…
Heidegger and the signs of history
Heidegger’s conception of the sign formulated in Sein und Zeit (1996 [1927]) may shed some light on his disastrous, philosophical and political experience with Nazism. In order to show this, I propose to assess how Heidegger establishes the relationship between signs and history in his magnum opus. Then, relying on the fact – central to Heidegger’s thinking, and to sign studies in general – that ideas are linked to the world, I will proceed to ex…
The sign in Heidegger's Sein und Zeit
Sign studies are traditionally divided into two major traditions: Peircean and Saussurean. However, other thinkers theorized the sign in radically unique terms. The German philosopher Martin Heidegger (1889–1976) is one of these parallel thinkers. Rather than considering the sign in exclusively logical or linguistic terms, Heidegger claimed that the sign grounded existence itself. The sign was at the very heart of being. Strangely, Heidegger's co…
