Summary:
The follow-up to the celebrated Wanderers, Kerri Andrews’s ''Way makers'' is the first anthology of women’s writing about walking. Moving from Elizabeth Carter’s correspondence with Catherine Talbot in the eighteenth century through to Merryn Glover in the present day, and across poetry, letters, diaries, novels, and more, this anthology traces a long tradition of women’s walking literature. Walking is, for the women included in this anthology, a source of creativity and comfort; it is a means of expressing grief, longing, and desire. It is also a complicated activity: it represents freedom but is also sometimes tinged with danger and fear. What cannot be denied any longer is that walking was, and continues to be, an activity full of physical and emotional significance for women: this anthology is a testament to the rich literary heritage created by generations of women walker-writers over the centuries.

Un périple qui se veut aussi une ode à l’immensité, à la beauté du territoire et à ceux et celles qui l’occupent depuis des millénaires.

Summary:
Quiconque tente aujourd’hui de traverser la Méditerranée ou même de voyager à pied, à vélo ou à cheval le constatera : le territoire se ferme, tant sous l’effet de son aménagement physique que de la loi. Ce mouvement s’inscrit dans une tendance multiséculaire. Depuis l’aube de la modernité, a été mise en place une interdiction progressive du droit de vagabonder et de subsister librement sur le territoire. D’un point de vue écologique et éthique, il est pourtant vital de retrouver un monde poreux et traversable, tant pour les humains que pour les autres êtres vivants. La notion même du droit – le nomos grec –, qui renvoie à une espace de pâturage, a été interprétée à l’époque moderne comme enclos. Mais il est tout aussi légitime de le concevoir comme espace partagé, commun. Sous l’égide du dieu Hermès, ce recueil libre nous emmène dans les bourgs et campagnes médiévaux, sur le GR2013 à Marseille, à la villa Borghese à Rome – en écho à un essai photographique de Geoffroy Mathieu.

Arguing that walking as history signifies walking for pleasure and for political, aesthetic, and social meaning, Solnit hones in on the walkers whose everyday and extreme acts have shaped our culture, from the peripatetic philosophers of ancient Greece to the poets of the romantic Age, from the perambulations of the Surrealists to the ascents of the mountaineers. Solnit's book finds a profound relationship between walking and thinking, walking and culture, and argues for the necessity of preserving the time and space in which to walk in an evermore automobile-dependent and accelerated world.

Shortly thereafter, Stewart Brand, cyber-communard and editor of the Whole Earth Catalog, took up these ideas and published the book Space Colonies in 1977. Space Colonies, an edition of Brand’s CoEvolution Quarterly, funded by the proceeds of the Whole Earth Catalog, took up the question of whether space might be colonized by the year 2000. Artist Fabian Reimann takes up Brand and O’Neill’s particular strain of techno-utopianism in Space Colonies: A Galactic Freeman’s Journal. In his photo-essay Reimann assembles historical, present-day and speculative material, combining these with fictional and factual stories to create a composite of different images of the world. With global ecological disaster an even more pressing issue than it was in 1977, and the colonization of space still touted by some as a last-ditch resort, Reimann looks back at the dreams and nightmares of the 1970s with a sophisticated visual humor.
