Whether it is to look to the past in search of their origins, analyze
their present activity, particularly digital, or to think about the
effects of their actions on the future, 21st century humans
regularly question their traces . Collective questions and
technical progress offer new resources which, in turn, raise the
problems of traces.
In order to reveal the difficulties posed by the unanalyzed trace,
this book proposes a journey through different contexts. Along
the way, intellectuals (including Bateson, Barthes, Bourdieu,
Derrida, Goffman, Peirce, Ricoeur, Varela, Thompson, Watsuji and
Watzlawick) and trace professionals (such as police officers or
computer scientists) shed light on the background to this veritable
odyssey.
This didactic book presents a contemporary exploration of the
fundamental nature of the trace via the new French paradigm of
the Ichnos-Anthropos ( Homme-trace ) and its corollary, the
corps-trace .
