Summary:
Auschwitz. Hiroshima. Cambodia’s killing fields. The World Trade Center. The mass graves of Rwanda. These places of violent death have become part of the recreational landscape of tourism, an industry that is otherwise dedicated to pleasure and escape. In dark places like concentration camps, prisons, battlegrounds, and the sites of natural disasters, how are memory and trauma mediated by thanotourism, or tourism of death? In Death Tourism, Brigitte Sion brings together essays by some of the most trenchant voices in the field to look at the tensions created by the juxtaposition of human remains and food stands, political agendas and educational programs, economic development and architectural ambition. How does a state redefine its national identity after catastrophic trauma? And what is the role of this kind of tourism in defining their new identity? A timely volume on an irresistible subject, this inquiry exposes the intersection of leisure with the inhumane, giving insight into how people respectfully share a public space that is both free and sacred, compelling and tragic.

«Villes et rails ont toujours été étroitement mêlés. L’arrivée du chemin de fer a façonné la ville contemporaine au XIXe siècle et le ferroviaire joue depuis un rôle de premier plan dans l’invention urbaine. Les acteurs du rail possèdent un patrimoine exceptionnel, partout en Europe. Terrains, gares, bâtiments industriels, logements, bureaux sont repensés pour devenir de véritables pôles innovants, au coeur des agglomérations comme en périphérie des grandes villes. Aux manettes : des hommes et des femmes passionnés, qui nous ont ouvert leurs portes. Nos portfolios, nouvelles, BD, reportages, illustrations se mêlent dans une invitation au voyage façon kaléidoscope. Au fil des pages, on découvre les trésors des archives ferroviaires, les pépites des plus grands architectes ou les projets les plus en pointe. On perce les secrets d’une résidence hôtelière du rail, on assiste en coulisses à de grands travaux nocturnes. On réfléchit aux moyens de contourner la contrainte, souvent forte dans ces lieux où l’infrastructure dictait sa loi. On imagine la ville de demain : durable, solidaire, belle, drôle, métisse.» -- Ateliers Henry Dougier

Summary:
From its invention in Europe at the end of the nineteenth century, the automobile crisscrossed the world, completely took over the cities, and became a feature of daily life. Considered basic to the American lifestyle, the car reflected individualism, pragmatism, comfort, and above all modernity. In Latin America, it served as a symbol of distinction, similar to jewelry or fine clothing. In The Cultural Life of the Automobile, Guillermo Giucci focuses on the automobile as an instrument of social change through its "kinetic modernity" and as an embodiment of the tremendous social impact of technology on cultural life. Material culture--how certain objects generate a wide array of cultural responses--has been the focus of much scholarly discussion in recent years. The automobile wrought major changes and inspired images in language, literature, and popular culture. Focusing primarily on Latin America but also covering the United States, Europe, Asia, and Africa, Giucci examines how the automobile was variously adapted by different cultures and how its use shaped and changed social and economic relationships within them. At the same time, he shows how the "automobilization" of society became an essential support for the development of modern individualism, and the automobile its clearest material manifestation.

Tout a commencé par la décision d’une rencontre, et la réciprocité qu’elle enclenche ; c’est la première scène : décider d’y aller voir de plus près. Michel Agier et Sara Prestianni décrivent dans cet ouvrage des « jungles », campements et squats à Patras, Rome, Calais et Paris. Ce sont des refuges où l’on s’abrite dans un contexte hostile, des lieux où des habitants en transit s’inventent un quotidien dans le temps de l’attente. Leur hospitalité, leur sourire et leur désir d’autrui ont un sens politique qui déroute les politiques de la « guerre aux migrants ». Aux commentaires qui associent trop souvent leur condition précaire à des existences inférieures, ils opposent par leurs regards droits, par leurs gestes et leur manière d’habiter ces lieux, une présence digne. michel agier, anthropologue, est directeur d’études à l’EHESS.

Summary:
Bicycling in cities is booming, for many reasons: health and environmental benefits, time and cost savings, more and better bike lanes and paths, innovative bike sharing programs, and the sheer fun of riding. City Cycling offers a guide to this urban cycling, with the goal of promoting cycling as sustainable urban transportation available to everyone. It reports on cycling trends and policies in cities in North America, Europe, and Australia, and offers information on such topics as cycling safety, cycling infrastructure provisions including bikeways and bike parking, the wide range of bike designs and bike equipment, integration of cycling with public transportation, and promoting cycling for women and children. The chapters describe ways to make city cycling feasible, convenient, and safe for commutes to work and school, shopping trips, visits, and other daily transportation needs. The book also offers detailed examinations and illustrations of cycling conditions in different urban environments: small cities (including Davis, California, and Delft, the Netherlands), large cities (including Sydney, Chicago, Toronto and Berlin), and "megacities" (London, New York, Paris, and Tokyo). These chapters offer a closer look at how cities both with and without historical cycling cultures have developed cycling programs over time. The book makes clear that successful promotion of city cycling depends on coordinating infrastructure, programs, and government policies.
