Sommario/riassunto

Parce qu’elle touche à l’origine de la vie, à l’organisation sociale et au devenir des populations, la reproduction a, depuis l’aube de l’histoire, nourri des mythes et alimenté les imaginaires collectifs. En va-t-il différemment dans les sociétés contemporaines assistant au développement des technologies reproductives ? C’est la question à laquelle tente de répondre cet ouvrage qui explore des représentations littéraires, artistiques et sociales, laissant entrevoir la persistance d’un lien fort entre de nouvelles possibilités reproductives et le sentiment d’un basculement « civilisationnel ». De quelle manière la recherche scientifique et les innovations biomédicales alimentent-elles l’imaginaire public et quelle place ont, notamment, les fictions décrivant un monde où la maîtrise de la reproduction façonne un nouvel ordre social ? Comme en témoigne le succès intemporel du Meilleur des mondes d’ Aldous Huxley ou l’engouement pour d’autres fictions dystopiques comme La servante écarlate, cette technicisation est un thème d’inspiration inépuisable. La fabrique de l’imaginaire reproductif offre des projections prophétiques et se fait l’écho de craintes séculaires, tout en perpétuant des modèles reproductifs, sexuels ou de genre. L’étude de ces représentations et de ces mythes confirme leur place, consciente ou inconsciente, dans notre rapport à la reproduction médicalisée.

Sommario/riassunto

The first part of this monograph is devoted to a characterization of hypergeometric-like functions, that is, twists of hypergeometric functions in n-variables. These are treated as an (n+1) dimensional vector space of multivalued locally holomorphic functions defined on the space of n+3 tuples of distinct points on the projective line P modulo, the diagonal section of Auto P=m. For n=1, the characterization may be regarded as a generalization of Riemann's classical theorem characterizing hypergeometric functions by their



exponents at three singular points. This characterization permits the authors to compare monodromy groups corresponding to different parameters and to prove commensurability modulo inner automorphisms of PU(1,n). The book includes an investigation of elliptic and parabolic monodromy groups, as well as hyperbolic monodromy groups. The former play a role in the proof that a surprising number of lattices in PU(1,2) constructed as the fundamental groups of compact complex surfaces with constant holomorphic curvature are in fact conjugate to projective monodromy groups of hypergeometric functions. The characterization of hypergeometric-like functions by their exponents at the divisors "at infinity" permits one to prove generalizations in n-variables of the Kummer identities for n-1 involving quadratic and cubic changes of the variable.
