Comment Léonard a-t-il inventé ses machines de vol ? Comment des méthodes de tissage ont-elles été transposées dans des techniques de guerre, des instruments de meunerie ou dans la fabrication de cosmétiques ? Comment comprendre les rapports entre des artefacts préhistoriques sans source textuelle ? Comment a-t-on pu mécaniser le génie, des réductions en art au « raisonnement par cas » ? Le point de départ de ce livre est que l’analogie joue un rôle crucial dans l’invention, la circulation et l’appropriation des techniques. C’est aussi un puissant motif de rationalisation et compréhension des techniques selon des logiques opératoires, aux côtés de l’analogie génétique, ou structurelle, ou encore fonctionnelle. Ces résonances justifient cet ouvrage pluridisciplinaire réunissant historiens des techniques, archéologues, psychologues cognitivistes, historiens de l’art, muséographes, philosophes des techniques, informaticiens et théoriciens de l’analogie. [How did Leonardo invent his flying machines? How were weaving methods transposed into warfare techniques, milling implements or cosmetics? How can we understand the relationship between prehistoric artifacts without a textual source? How could engineering be mechanized, from reductions in art to "case-based reasoning"? The starting point of this book is that analogy plays a crucial role in the invention, circulation and appropriation of techniques. It is also a powerful motive for rationalizing and understanding techniques according to operative logics, alongside genetic, structural, or functional analogy. These resonances justify this multidisciplinary work bringing together historians of techniques, archaeologists, cognitive psychologists, art historians, museographers, philosophers of techniques, computer scientists and theorists of analogy.] (Publisher)
