Résumé

Cette étude s’appuie sur la philosophie de la technique de Bernard Stiegler pour développer l’herméneutique interculturelle de Paul Ricoeur et la situer dans le domaine de l’architecture. L’horizon d’expérience – compris comme la limite de l’existence humaine – ne se dévoile jamais entièrement, mais s’extériorise partiellement dans des artefacts. Une lecture parallèle de l’idée ricoeurienne du texte comme « fixation du discours « et de l’analyse stieglerienne des objets techniques comme « prothèses de l’humain « élucide ce processus d’extériorisation. La transmission, l’accumulation et l’interconnexion des artefacts constituent un milieu culturel doté d’une certaine autonomie et cohérence interne. Ricœur en offre un exemple dans l’intertextualité de la littérature grecque antique, tandis que Stiegler identifie le « milieu technique « moderne composé de réseaux de machines. L’architecture, considérée comme l’ensemble des artefacts relative à l’environnement bâti dans un milieu culturel,  engendre la théorie – suivant les trois figurations de Ricoeur – qui vise à interpréter un milieu culturel donné et à ouvrir de multiples horizons d’expérience.
