Un concept technologique de trace numérique
Cette thĂšse entend proposer un concept technologique â non-anthropocentrĂ© â de trace numĂ©rique. Il sâagit de rappeler que lâinformatique exigeant des objets et des actes quâils passent par lâinscription pour exister, les machines computationnelles sont parties prenantes des processus de production des traces numĂ©riques, quâune « sĂ©miotique technologique » permettrait de dĂ©crire. Lâenjeu dâun tel concept est de mettre en circulation une narration qui ne soit pas de lâordre de ces discours de fin de monde dĂ©crits par DĂ©borah Danowski et Eduardo Viveiros de Castro. Ces discours racontent la vie dâhumains rĂ©duits Ă habiter un environnement ontologiquement dĂ©vitalisĂ© et artificialisĂ©, comme c'est le cas lorsque la valorisation technique et Ă©conomique des traces numĂ©riques risque Ă terme de dĂ©boucher sur une « dĂ©lĂ©gation machinique de nos relations » (Louise Merzeau) ou encore sur une « gouvernementalitĂ© algorithmique » ou un « asservissement machinique » (Antoinette Rouvroy et Thomas Berns). Ă partir du moment oĂč il y a des discours de fin de monde cependant, câest quâune tentative est Ă lâĆuvre :celle qui consiste Ă inventer une mythologie adĂ©quate Ă notre prĂ©sent, celle qui essaie de dire quelque chose de la fin dâune certaine aventure anthropologique. Et câest pour participer Ă cette tentative, tout en cherchant Ă Ă©viter de contribuer aux discours de fin de monde, quâune approche technologique des traces numĂ©riques Ă mĂȘme de faire compter les machines computationnelles est proposĂ©e.This Ph.D. thesis aims at proposing a concept that is technological â in other words, not anthropocentric â of digital traces. The point is that since computational processes require objects and actions to take the form of inscriptions as a condition of their existence, computational machines are fundamentally involved in the process of producing digital traces, which a technological semiotics could describe. What is at stake in the concept we propose is to put into circulation a narration which avoids the theme of âthe end of the worldâ described by DĂ©borah Danowski and Eduardo Viveiros de Castro. These âend of the worldâ stories evoke the life of human beings who are reduced to living in an environment that is ontologically devitalized and purely artificial, as it seems to be the case when the technical and economic valorization of digital traces has the end result of âdelegating our human relations to machinesâ (Louise Merzeau) or yet again of leading to âalgorithmic governmentalityâ (Antoinette Rouvroy and Berns). When the theme of âthe end of the worldâ raises its head, it means that an attempt is being made: an attempt to invent a mythology appropriate to our present situation, a narration which tries to say something about the end of a certain anthropological adventure. And it is in order to participate in this venture, but seeking to avoid contributing to the theme of âthe end of the worldâ, that we propose a technological approach to digital traces, enabling us to take into account computational machines as a part of the contemporary world.Doctorat en Philosophieinfo:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublishe
