Chiffres et statistiques sont omnipr\u00e9sents dans le discours de l\u2019information, consid\u00e9r\u00e9s comme des arguments incontestables, qui \u00abne mentent pas\u00bb. Mais que garantit r\u00e9ellement leur apparente objectivit\u00e9?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sign\u00e9 C\u00e9dric Margot (Section d’anglais<\/a>) et inspir\u00e9 de sa th\u00e8se d\u00e9fendue en 2023 en Section des sciences du langage et de l’information<\/a>, ce livre met au jour un impens\u00e9 fondamental: les ph\u00e9nom\u00e8nes sociaux sont souvent pr\u00e9sent\u00e9s comme s\u2019ils \u00e9taient mesur\u00e9s avec la pr\u00e9cision des sciences de la nature. Or les chiffres \u2013 en \u00e9conomie comme dans l\u2019ensemble des sciences humaines \u2013 sont toujours le produit de choix, de cat\u00e9gories et de conventions; ils traduisent des observations du monde social autant qu\u2019ils les d\u00e9crivent, et portent ainsi, en filigrane, le regard de l\u2019observateur.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c0 travers l\u2019analyse m\u00e9thodique d\u2019un vaste corpus de journaux t\u00e9l\u00e9vis\u00e9s, l\u2019auteur interroge cet usage \u2013 ou ce m\u00e9susage \u2013 du chiffre dans le traitement de l\u2019actualit\u00e9, forge le concept de \u00abpr\u00e9suppos\u00e9 de mesure\u00bb et fait vaciller notre conception de l\u2019information vraie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
