CONT

Les mânes du Père Ubu, inventeur de la pataphysique, ont-elles brusquement inspiré Mme Georgina Dufoix? Il est évident que le but recherché est tout autre et vise à la reconnaissance a priori des aspects les plus contestables de la patamédecine.

OBS

Pataphysique : Terme créé dès 1894 par Alfred Jarry pour désigner «la science des solutions imaginaires» dont Ubu et Faustroll sont tous deux les experts (Gestes et Opinions du docteur Faustroll, pataphysicien).
