%X La recherche publi¨¦e dans la pr¨¦sente livraison de In Situ s¡¯inscrivait ¨¤ l¡¯origine dans un atelier du Lahic consacr¨¦ ¨¤ la construction de la figure de Pasteur comme h¨¦ros scientifique. Au sein de ce programme, on s¡¯est plus particuli¨¨rement attach¨¦ ¨¤ l¡¯¨¦tude de la repr¨¦sentation de Pasteur dans le monde de l¡¯enseignement sup¨¦rieur parisien. Issu de ce monde avant que d¡¯en ¨ºtre devenu l¡¯une des figures les plus illustres, Louis Pasteur fait l¡¯objet de nombreuses figurations dans les facult¨¦s et les grandes ¨¦coles parisiennes. Pr¨¦sent dans une dizaine d¡¯¨¦tablissements - ce qui est rarissime, la plupart des personnages repr¨¦sent¨¦s ne l¡¯¨¦tant que dans une voire deux institutions - Pasteur marque de son visage ais¨¦ment reconnaissable les couloirs de la Sorbonne comme le jardin de l¡¯¨¦cole normale sup¨¦rieure. Parcourir la Montagne Sainte-Genevi¨¨ve ¨¤ la recherche de son image renseigne aussi bien sur la figuration de cet ¨¦minent savant en h¨¦ros que sur les relations entretenues, ¨¤ travers lui, par les diff¨¦rents ¨¦tablissements entre eux : tout entier accapar¨¦ par les normaliens et les scientifiques, Pasteur est singuli¨¨rement absent chez les m¨¦decins, ¨¤ quelques dizaines de m¨¨tres de la Sorbonne... The research published in this present issue of the electronic review In Situ results from a series of papers discussed in a workshop of the LAHIC laboratory devoted to the question of how Pasteur came to be seen as a scientific hero. Within this programme we were particularly interested in looking at how Pasteur was represented in the world of higher learning in Paris. Pasteur was very much a part of this world before becoming one of its most illustrious representatives and, as such, was the object of numerous representations in the faculties and ¡®grandes ¨¦coles¡¯ in Paris. Exceptionally, he was associated with about ten of these institutions; most of the outstanding scientific figures of his time were connected to only one or at most two such institutions. So Pasteur¡¯s features were familiar both in the corridors of the Sorbonne and in the gardens of the Ecole normale sup¨¦rieure. Exploring the Montagne Sainte-Genevi¨¨ve in search of Pasteur¡¯s image gives us information not only on how this eminent man of science was represented but also on the relations between the different institutions he frequented. Largely monopolised by ¡®normaliens¡¯ and by men of science, Pasteur is surprisingly absent from the world of medicine, even though the medical faculty is but a stone¡¯s throw from the Sorbonne¡­
