Summary:
Showing how the upswell of paranoia and growing demand for security in the post-9/11 world has paradoxically created widespread insecurity, these varied essays examine how this anxiety-laden mindset erodes spaces both architectural and personal, encroaching on all aspects of everyday life. Starting from the most literal level—barricades and barriers in front of buildings, beefed up border patrols, gated communities, "safe rooms,"—to more abstract levels—enhanced surveillance at public spaces such as airports, increasing worries about contagion, the psychological predilection for fortified space—the contributors cover the full gamut of securitized public life that is defining the zeitgeist of twenty-first century America

Comment penser et organiser les transports dans des villes où les gens bougent de plus en plus ?

Georges Amar est allé voir comment, ailleurs, on pensait les mobilités urbaines et comment on explorait de nouvelles démarches. Les analyses qu’il tire de ses voyages nous montrent que l’innovation tient largement à la capacité non pas de transposer de “bonnes pratiques” mais de s’en inspirer dans des démarches créatrices qui s’appuient sur les spécificités de chaque contexte urbain et de chaque culture technique. Les manières de circuler en Chine, en Californie ou au Chili nous aident à jeter un autre regard sur nos propres façons de nous déplacer ou de penser les questions de la mobilité urbaine.

Summary:
La croissance exponentielle de la mobilité, mais aussi les transformations qualitatives des pratiques dans ce domaine, constituent de nouveaux défis tant pour les scientifiques que pour les praticiens. Or qu'il s'agisse de personnes, de biens, de services, de capitaux ou encore d'informations, des corrélations complexes lient l'évolution des mobilités aux dynamiques territoriales. Les spécialistes des transports, certes, mais aussi les acteurs de l'aménagement du territoire et de l'urbanisme sont donc de plus en plus confrontés aux enjeux spatiotemporels que recèlent les (nouvelles) pratiques de mobilité. Pour y faire face, quelles approches et quelles stratégies collectives envisager? En fonction de quels savoirs, de quels objectifs et de quelles valeurs? Combinant des approches théoriques et des savoirs empiriques tout en privilégiant des perspectives transdisciplinaires, cet ouvrage offre un état des connaissances actuelles en la matière, présente quelques expériences emblématiques (en Suisse et dans les pays voisins), et esquisse des pistes de réflexion et d'action en matière de mobilité et de politique territoriales. Il jette en outre un éclairage particulier sur les enjeux territoriaux de la mobilité, en conjuguant des approches spatiales avec des approches temporelles: là où l'aire du temps féconde les térritoires de la mobilité.

Summary:
Cotten Seiler combs through a vast number of historical, social scientific, philosophical, and literary sources to illustrate the importance of driving to modern American conceptions of the self and the social and political order. He finds that as the figure of the driver blurred into the figure of the citizen, automobility became a powerful resource for women, African Americans, and others seeking entry into the public sphere. And yet, he argues, the individualistic but anonymous act of driving has also monopolized our thinking about freedom and democracy, discouraging the crafting of a more sustainable way of life. As our fantasies of the open road turn into fears of a looming energy crisis, Seiler shows us just how we ended up a republic of drivers—and where we might be headed.
