RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Leonardo da Vinci, the artist and scientist, was an archetype figure of the Renaissance era. He was an autodidactic polymath in natural sciences, engineering, and physical sciences, imbued with universality, prodigious inventive imagination, and curiosity to know and understand the world around him. Among his myriad activities, anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system and the underlying systems fully engaged him. Leonardo dissected dozens of human and animal corpses to study. His anatomical illustrations were precise, combining art and science with an impeccable integration of both. Multiple drawings, diagrams, sketches, and designs are found in his notes. Leonardo's style was intensely personal, unveiling his thoughts, passions, and emotions. We analyzed significant biographic aspects of Leonardo's life, remarking on his scientific and life conceptions and their manifestation in his anatomical designs. The contribution of preceding anatomists is reported as a source of his inspiration as well as motivation to successors. Leonardo da Vinci left no publications, but rather an extensive collection of personal notebooks. Leonardo's contribution to modern anatomy was enormous and he is considered by the scientific and medical community as the father of the modern anatomy.

Star Wars, a "general public" film saga, raises questions about human nature and transhumanism. It features different characters who are neither "real" humans nor robots; there are creatures that can be likened to advanced humans (cyborgs, chimeras or genetically-modified humans). Based on the "Star Wars" movie, we will approach some ways of modifying the human person both in his body and in his consciousness and we will wonder about the man of tomorrow by asking ourselves if George Lucas (director of the first film released) might have not been a visionary of the men of tomorrow.
TITLE: George Lucas : Prophète du transhumanisme ? ABSTRACT: La Guerre des étoiles, saga cinématographique « grand public ¼, permet de se questionner sur la nature humaine et sur le transhumanisme. Elle met en effet en scène différents personnages qui ne sont ni de « vrais ¼ humains, ni des robots, des créatures pouvant être assimilées à des humains évolués (des cyborgs, des chimères ou des humains génétiquement modifiés). À partir de cette approche cinématographique, nous aborderons certains moyens de modification de la personne humaine à la fois dans son corps et dans sa conscience, et nous nous interrogerons sur l'homme de demain, en se demandant si George Lucas (réalisateur du premier film) n'était pas un visionnaire des hommes de demain.

Se analizarán veinticinco ceremonias teatrales ocurridas en un puñado de ciudades argentinas durante el medio siglo que va de 1870 a 1925, dedicadas a conmemorar la vida científica, tecnológica y médica surgida de la revolución científica de los siglos xvii y xviii. En ellas los más prestigiosos científicos y médicos subieron a los escenarios de sus principales teatros para presentar sus saberes en sociedad, a un público selecto y ávido de noticias y espectáculos, formado por las principales familias patricias de la emergente nación Argentina. El estudio de esas fiestas con las herramientas historiográficas provenientes de los estudios de sociabilidad, permite visibilizar a través de un amplio conjunto de fuentes escasamente exploradas hasta el momento la complejidad de los procesos de inscripción local de las instituciones científicas y médicas referenciales que las pusieron en marcha. También permite reconstruir la trama de su coevolución, junto a los poderes políticos locales estado nacional, provincias y municipios y a los «selectos públicos» que en forma devota asistieron a las ceremonias. Instituciones científicas, poderes políticos y públicos patricios dieron forma a un particular tipo de experiencia social, basada en la apropiación en clave semiperiférica del «deleite racional» por excelencia, como fueron las ceremonias teatrales y científicas (AU)
