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.

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.

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.

A life long concern with the constraints placed on the individual by a host of bureaucratic bodies, and not least the State, then found expression in these short essays on the problems encountered when walking in the countryside as the military, large landowners, factory farmers and more recently the water companies conjoin to try to exclude walkers from much of the land for their own nefarious purposes.

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.
