Synopsis
Contributing Authors

Quel est le lien entre immunologie et identite? Au coeur de l’immunologie se trouvent les concepts de soi et de non-soi , ainsi que ceux d’unicite et d’individualite. Les immunologistes contemporains affirment que, en se fondant sur le vocabulaire du soi et du non-soi, leur discipline apporte une reponse a la question de savoir ce qui fait l’identite d’un organisme a travers le temps. Cet ouvrage met en doute cette affirmation. S’appuyant sur des donnees recentes sur la tolerance immunitaire, le chimerisme ou encore la symbiose, il montre que la theorie du soi et du non-soi, qui domine l’immunologie depuis plus de cinquante ans, n’est plus adequate. Il propose une autre theorie, la theorie de la continuite, dont l’un des objectifs est de rendre compte des nombreux cas dans lesquels un organisme tolere des entites etrangeres, en particulier des bacteries. L’organisme doit alors etre compris selon une perspective ecologique: il est ouvert a l’exteriorite, a l’autre, et en grande partie constitue par l’appropriation d’entites initialement etrangeres . L’immunologie donne bien une definition de l’identite biologique, mais celle-ci est aux antipodes de la conception selon laquelle l’organisme serait une realite fermee, definie de facon endogene et defendant son integrite contre tout non-soi .
