L'Homme Face Au Climat: L'Imaginaire de La Pluie Et Du Beau Temps

Descriere: Encore un ouvrage sur le climat? Oui, mais d'une facture tres differente de tout ce qu'on a pu ecrire jusqu'ici sur ce sujet. C'est en effet la premiere fois qu'un historien se penche sur l'ensemble des theories, des scenarios et des psychoses climatiques, de l'Antiquite a nos jours, afin de decrypter le mecanisme mental et ideologique de ces constructions et attitudes.Le psychodrame du climat ne commence pas avec le rechauffement global celui-ci n'est que la manifestation la plus recente d'une histoire longue et riche en rebondissements. D'un siecle a l'autre, on a presque tout explique et justifie par le climat: la diversite des hommes et des civilisations, la marche de l'histoire, les accidents de parcours, les " fins du monde ". Le Deluge prefigure deja les effets presumes de l'actuel rechauffement de la planete.Pour Lucian Boia, il ne s'agit ni d'infirmer ni de valider telle ou telle theorie, telle ou telle prediction. Il veut simplement montrer que, independamment de toute verite objective, c'est l'esprit humain qui mene le jeu: les penchants quasi permanents de l'imaginaire, les ideologies, les mentalites... Par ses multiples reconstitutions du passe et de l'avenir climatique, l'homme exprime ses choix, ses peurs et ses esperances.
