Exact sequences are a well known notion in homological algebra. We investigate here the more vague properties of `homotopical exactness', appearing for instance in the fibre or cofibre sequence of a map. Such notions of exactness can be given for very general `categories with homotopies' having homotopy kernels and cokernels, but become more interesting under suitable `stability' hypotheses, satisfied - in particular - by chain complexes. It is then possible to measure the default of homotopical exactness of a sequence by the homotopy type of a certain object, a sort of `homotopical homology'.

Keywords: Homotopy theory, abstract homotopy theory, 2-categories, cofibrations, fibre spaces, chain complexes.
