Du Topos à l'Utopie : milieu, lieu et non-lieu du technique et du religieux dans l’univers de Star Trek

Following an examination of the Star Trek series, this chapter explores the technical and symbolic question of a topos that makes sense to the human being, continuing Sloterdijk's innovative transposition of the Heideggerian analysis of dwelling - into the realm of space. I discuss the way in which beings venturing to the farthest reaches of the cosmos must bring with them their environment in order to constitute an artificial sphere in which they can dwell, here considering science fiction as a means of opening up a space for prospective questioning and participating in fundamental ethical and empirical questions.
