Relire Marcuse pour ne pas vivre comme des porcs, par Gilles Châtelet. « Cette destinée est mystérieuse pour nous car nous ne comprenons pas pourquoi les bisons sont tous massacrés, les chevaux sauvages domestiqués, les lieux secrets de la forêt lourds de l’odeur de tant d’hommes, et la vue des belles collines souillée par des fils de fer qui parlent.
Où sont les fourrés profonds ? Disparus. Où est l’aigle ? Disparu. C’est la fin de la vie et le commencement de la survivance. » Déclaration du chef indien Seattle au président des Etats-Unis (1894). « Because something is happening here But you don’t know what it is Do you Mister Jones ? Bob Dylan, Ballad of the Thin Man (1). Ce refrain connu de Bob Dylan n’aurait certainement pas déplu au jeune Herbert Marcuse (2), qui appréciait déjà - bien avant la génération beat - les randonnées et les feux de bois des Wandervögel (3).

Abstract No contemporary cultural artifact embodies the genius and the disruptive excess of capitalism as clearly as the cell phone. Ubiquitous in most developed societies in Europe, the Americas and Asia, the cell phone has become a laboratory – some would say an asylum – for testing the limits of technological convergence. Less a telephone today than a multi-purpose computer, cell phones are game consoles, still cameras, email systems, text messengers, carriers of entertainment and business data, nodes of commerce. Particular age cohorts and subcultures have begun to appropriate cell phones for idiosyncratic uses that help to define their niche or social identity. Today’s Forum will examine the cell phone as a technological object and as a cultural form whose uses and meaning are increasingly various, an artifact uniquely of our time that is enacting, to borrow the words of a contemporary novelist, “a ceaseless spectacle of transition.”
