Summary:
What would be of contemporary culture if we did not recognize the impact of migration in cultural and socio-economic crossings? This book explores human migration in different times, contexts, and geographies surrounding the Aegean Sea. Through an assemblage of voices, lived experiences, historical documents, urban and rural dislocations, this publication examines responses to mobility of the ones on the move, and of the ones living in the destinations the former are heading to. It speaks of the sacrifices one is forced to make en route and at its antipode; the implications of voluntary migration to a place, steered by investment in real estate.

Summary:
Pour la journaliste scientifique Sonia Shah, il est temps de reconnaître le rôle central des migrations dans l’histoire de la vie sur Terre, car le mouvement a toujours été le meilleur moyen d’assurer la survie collective des espèces. Or, la migration a mauvaise presse: les États se dotent de politiques antimigrants et érigent des murs barbelés au nom de la sécurité nationale. En biologie, les espèces animales ou végétales exogènes sont considérées comme « envahissantes ». Pour déconstruire ces perceptions tenaces, Sonia Shah a suivi les migrants dans leurs périples, de l’île de Lesbos à la frontière entre le Mexique et les États-Unis, et plongé dans une fascinante recherche documentaire. Elle retrace les déplacements spectaculaires dans le règne animal et explique comment nos ancêtres ont peuplé les coins les plus isolés de la planète, des plateaux tibétains aux îles reculées du Pacifique. Dans un contexte de montée du racisme et de la xénophobie, Shah renverse notre regard sur les migrations pour en dévoiler toute la richesse et la beauté.

Architects’ Journeys brings together contemporary architects, historians and theorists to consider the role that travel has played in the evolution of architectural practice during the last century. Looking beyond the model of enlightened tourism founded by the legacy of the Grand Tour, the book’s contributors investigate travel as a form of displacement prefiguring the emergence of the figure of the global architect in the late twentieth century.
