L’aventure spatiale a imposé une connaissance approfondie des mécanismes d’interface entre l’homme et un environnement hostile. Elle a mis en évidence la complexité du système visuel, son intégration avec les autres sens et la place essentielle des facteurs que sont l’attention, la cognition et la représentation mentale. La vision est donc apparue non seulement comme une fonction dédiée à un organe particulier, mais surtout comme une des fonctions nécessaires à la survie d’un organisme entier. Fruit d’une approche pluridisciplinaire, Avancées en ophtalmologie – Apport de la conquête spatiale montre comment la recherche en neurosciences liée aux vols spatiaux habités a permis des progrès remarquables dans le domaine des spécialités de la vision. Cet ouvrage relate également une aventure médicale et précise les bases physio-pathogéniques qui ont contribué à la structuration médicalisée du concept de malvoyance, puis à sa prise en charge et à son enseignement. Il s’adresse non seulement à l’ensemble des professionnels de la vision, mais aussi aux ergothérapeutes, psychomotriciens, instructeurs en locomotion, psychologues, gériatres, chercheurs, médecins généralistes, etc...

[This book is written in French.] Le mouvement du récit, la justesse des personnages et des dialogues, l'émotion des vies perdues, la manière cruelle dont l'homme de quarante ans se voit exclu des fêtes de la jeunesse fait du roman, l'une des plus perspicaces chroniques de la sensibilité contemporaine. The movement of the story, the accuracy of the characters and the dialogue, the emotion of lost lives, the cruel manner in which a forty-year-old man finds himself excluded from the celebrations of youth make this novel one of the most penetrating chronicles of modern sensitivity.

2011: fifty years separate us from the flight of Yuri Gagarin. Fifty years of extraordinary successes, with the kind of apotheosis represented by the first man on the moon; fifty years also of bitter failures, even tragic when they involved the deaths of human beings; finally, fifty years during which space largely contributed to the scientific and technical, political and economic, cultural and social transformation of humanity. This is a critical analysis of the decisions and the actions which constituted and constitute still the field of astronautic activities, to analyse this field's strategies and choices, their consequences on the natural environment and on humans, in short to work out and apply an ethical investigation. This work is the fruit of research carried out by the French Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES) over the past ten years, in collaboration with many organisations, astronautical or not: ESA, NASA and especially ESPI.

With his particular questioning style, Jacques Arnould takes us on a journey through the history of space exploration and utilisation from a multidisciplinary perspective. This book deals with philosophical and societal questions, national and international policy, legal and responsibility aspects. By asking the right questions, Jacques helps us understand many of the questions most humans ask themselves about why, what, for whom, for how long and how humanity will (or should) expand its presence in and benefit from outer space. The French CNES is the first space agency that decided to employ an expert in the ethics of space activities, and the International Space University and the University of South Australia are the only where space ethics is regularly taught in its programs as part of its unique multidisciplinary curricula.

Cinema may be called a bastard art in both meanings of the word: because it is usually defined as a hybrid art form, obviously, but also, and perhaps more importantly, because it has been able to become formally as well as generically innovative mostly through adulterous relationships, thus making illegitimacy its grounding principle by preferring a blurred lineage to a legible succession. Trying to find what film is referred to in a sequence, therefore, amounts to establishing a clear family tree, which takes no account of the illegitimate unions, natural children and forgotten ancestors that are nevertheless part and parcel of film history. If that quest should still be conducted, its object, it seems, should not be one sole point of reference. The aim of this book is to create the opportunity of studying, and perhaps of rehabilitating, those shadowy corners of cinematographic creation and film memory, and to provide film studies, but also literature and Arts studies altogether, with a newly productive way of using such familiar notions as difference, quotation, reference, blending, hybridity, miscegenation or crossbreeding.
