What is a meme? First coined by Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene, a meme is any idea, behavior, or skill that can be transferred from one person to another by imitation: stories, fashions, inventions, recipes, songs, ways of plowing a field or throwing a baseball or making a sculpture. The meme is also one of the most important--and controversial--concepts to emerge since The Origin of Species appeared nearly 150 years ago. In The Meme Machine Susan Blackmore boldly asserts: "Just as the design of our bodies can be understood only in terms of natural selection, so the design of our minds can be understood only in terms of memetic selection." Indeed, Blackmore shows that once our distant ancestors acquired the crucial ability to imitate, a second kind of natural selection began, a survival of the fittest amongst competing ideas and behaviors. Ideas and behaviors that proved most adaptive--making tools, for example, or using language--survived and flourished, replicating themselves in as many minds as possible. These memes then passed themselves on from generation to generation by helping to ensure that the genes of those who acquired them also survived and reproduced. Applying this theory to many aspects of human life, Blackmore offers brilliant explanations for why we live in cities, why we talk so much, why we can't stop thinking, why we behave altruistically, how we choose our mates, and much more. With controversial implications for our religious beliefs, our free will, our very sense of "self," The Meme Machine offers a provocative theory everyone will soon be talking about.

This revised edition of Memes of Translation includes updates that relate the book's themes to more recent research in Translation Studies. The book contributes to the debate about whether it is worth seeking a coherent theory of translation, by proposing an approach based on norms, strategies and values, which are all seen as kinds of memes, i.e. ideas that spread. The meme metaphor allows us to see translation in the context of cultural evolution, and also highlights similarities with the philosopher Karl Popper's analysis of another kind of evolution: that of scientific knowledge. A translation is, after all, itself a theory – a theory about the source text. And as Popper stressed, theories of all kinds are like nets we make in order to catch something of reality: never perfectly, but always in the hope of better understanding.

« EnchaÃnÃe par le cou à un arbre, privÃe de toute libertÃ, celle de bouger, de s'asseoir, de se lever ; celle de parler ou de se taire ; celle de boire ou de manger ; et même la plus ÃlÃmentaire, celle d'assouvir les besoins de son corps... J'ai pris conscience – après de longues annÃes – que l'on garde tout de même la plus prÃcieuse de toutes, la libertà que personne ne peut jamais vous ôter : celle de dÃcider qui l'on veut être. » Même le silence a une fin raconte les six ans et demi de captività d'Ingrid Betancourt dans la jungle colombienne aux mains des FARC. RÃcit intime d'une aventure qui ne ressemble à aucune autre, voyage hantÃ, palpitant du dÃbut à la fin, c'est aussi une mÃditation sur la condition des damnÃs – et sur ce qui fonde la nature humaine.

Mémé, c'est ma mémé, même si ça ne se dit plus.Mémé me manque. Ses silences, ses mots simples au Scrabble, sa maison enfouie sous les pommiers et son buffet d'avant-guerre. Ce texte est subjectif, partial, amoureux, ce n'est pas une enquête, ce n'est pas une biographie, c'est ce que j'ai vu, compris ou pas, ce que j'ai perdu et voulu retenir, une dernière fois. Mémé, c'est mon regard de gamin qui ne veut pas passer à autre chose. 'Voici le portrait qu'à plus de quarante ans Philippe Torreton fait de celle qui fut le personnage central de son enfance, un portrait tendre et nostalgique, construit par petites touches comme la mémoire, où chacun retrouvera sa grand-mère ou celle dont il a rêvé.
