Summary:
In 'In Praise of the Bicycle', Augé takes us on a personal journey of his own, on a two-wheeled ride around our cities, and on a journey into ourselves. We all remember the thrill of riding a bike for the first time and the joys of cycling. Here he reminds us that these memories are not just personal, but rooted in a time and a place, in a history that is shared with millions of others. Part memoir, part manifesto, Augé celebrates cycling as a way of reconnecting with the places in which we live, and, ultimately, as a necessary alternative to our disconnected world.

Summary:
L’ouvrage de Philippe Potié invite le lecteur à explorer, à travers un angle très singulier – le voyage – la genèse de la pensée de quelques-unes des grandes figures emblématiques de l’architecture occidentale – théoriciens et constructeurs. On y découvre les grands maîtres en apprentissage, leurs cheminements intellectuels après leur confrontation avec des monuments célèbres, des ambiances, des lumières, des formes, des cultures différentes. On y perçoit la révélation, l’émerveillement... Ces voyages initiatiques racontés par Philippe Potié donnent une dimension sensible et profondément humaine à ces maîtres, devenus des icônes, et permettent du même coup d’appréhender leur oeuvre avec un regard neuf et ému... et prouvent qu’il est encore possible de découvrir Brunelleschi ou Louis Kahn.

Summary:
This book examines the origins of psychogeography in the Paris of the 1950s, exploring the theoretical background and its political application in the work of Guy Debord and the Situationists. ''Psychogeography'' continues to find retrospective validation in much earlier traditions, from the visionary writing of William Blake and Thomas De Quincey to the rise of the flâneur and the avant-garde experimentation of the Surrealists. These precursors to psychogeography are discussed here alongside their modern counterparts, for today these ideas hold greater currency than ever through the popularity of writers and filmmakers such as Iain Sinclair, Will Self and Patrick Keiller.

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.

Summary:
Megan Craig and Edward S. Casey provide a collaborative phenomenological exploration of thought in motion, interspersing lively first-person accounts with broader philosophical inquiry. Their investigation, structured around the four ancient elements—water, air, earth, and fire—ranges across swimming, boats, balloons, planes, cars, trains, and other modes of transport. Craig and Casey invite readers to recall their own experiences of travel and how thinking changes in tandem with shifting environments and whatever conveys a person from place to place. They also consider how changing climates and evolving technologies, with new rhythms and materialities, have shaped human thinking in its many varieties. ''Thinking in Transit'' celebrates forms of movement and motion that carry the body and mind out of their habituated routines. This book urges a change in how philosophers have traditionally framed the setting for serious thought: from the austere, solitary space of a study to populated places of interaction and passage.

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.
