In 1951, C\u00e9cile DeWitt-Morette, a young physicist not yet thirty years old, founded a summer school with innovative practices in the village of Les Houches in Haute Savoie. This social invention proved to be particularly well suited to the new theoretical physics\u2014so confusing and demanding\u2014that was developing at the time. Very quickly, the Les Houches School of Theoretical Physics established itself as a key institution in the world of physics. Pierre-Gilles de Gennes, one of the many Nobel Prize winners to have passed through Les Houches, did not hesitate to declare that the School \u201csaved his generation of physicists.\u201d Yet outside the circle of the discipline, who knows that a village in Haute Savoie is home to a legendary institution of physics? This book explores, for the first time, using new sociocognitive frameworks, the workings and effects that have earned the \u00c9cole des Houches worldwide prestige.<\/p>\n
