Résumé:
Après « Petite géographie de la fuite », Thierry Pardo poursuit sa recherche des espaces de liberté. Cette fois, il marche sur les pas du philosophe naturaliste Henry David Thoreau et met notre époque au défi d'une nouvelle expérience forestière, dans une maison "sans bouton". Sa démarche exploratoire interroge notre relation au monde, à la nature et au silence sans toutefois se couper des questions contemporaines. Comment participer à la poésie de notre vie sans s'abîmer dans les préoccupations de notre siècle ? Comment un petit pas de côté et un saut dans le temps peuvent relier Walden et Weedon et inventer de nouveau la vie dans les bois ? Dans ce bref essai poétique, Thierry Pardo nous invite à contempler le monde différemment.

Résumé:
Alors que le système touristique recouvre aujourd’hui la planète et s’étend du domicile jusqu’à la destination, il est permis de se demander si le voyage peut encore dépasser le tourisme. Le tourisme est une des industries ayant connu l’essor le plus important ces dernières décennies. Pratiquée par une infime partie de la population mondiale, cette activité n’est pas sans effets délétères sur les populations, les paysages, les territoires, même dans ses incarnations les plus « vertes » et « responsables ». Est-ce à dire qu’il faudrait dans ces conditions aller jusqu’à cesser de voyager? C’est à cette vaste réflexion que nous convie Rodolphe Christin dans ce court et percutant essai. Dans la foulée des différents écrits qu’il a publiés sur ce thème au fil des ans, et pour faire suite à la critique implacable du tourisme qu’il livrait dans son « Manuel de l’antitourisme » (Écosociété, 2017), l’auteur poursuit ici sa réflexion en abordant la question du voyage en lui-même et de ses possibilités dans le monde d’aujourd’hui. Une manière de répondre par la bande à l’opposition voyage/tourisme qui revient inévitablement dans les débats que soulèvent ces thèmes.

Résumé:
This is a book about ten women over the past three hundred years who have found walking essential to their sense of themselves, as people and as writers. "Wanderers" traces their footsteps, from eighteenth-century parson’s daughter Elizabeth Carter—who desired nothing more than to be taken for a vagabond in the wilds of southern England—to modern walker-writers such as Nan Shepherd and Cheryl Strayed. For each, walking was integral, whether it was rambling for miles across the Highlands, like Sarah Stoddart Hazlitt, or pacing novels into being, as Virginia Woolf did around Bloomsbury. Offering a beguiling view of the history of walking, Wanderers guides us through the different ways of seeing—of being—articulated by these ten pathfinding women.

Résumé:
''MigraTouriSpace'' is an artistic examination of travelling as an approach to the phenomena of migration and tourism, and of the many ways in which they overlap. Understanding that when people travel they also take with them spaces and images means that tourism no longer inevitably refers to the vacation as an exceptional state. Brought back home, the tourist’s gaze has long operated to shape everyday life. For three years, artist Stefanie Bürkle and her interdisciplinary team travelled between Berlin and South Korea, photographing and filming. The result of this research is an atlas of images, with places such as the Vietnamese wholesale market Dong Xuan Center in Berlin Lichtenberg and the German Village, Dogil Maeul, in South Korea, that demonstrates the tension between a migration of culturally coded spatial contexts and post-touristic practices. With a preface by Martina Löw.

There are many apparently contradictory black-and-white images of Rome that Ludovico Quaroni took around the eternal city. The baroque is to be found side by side with shacks, while the explosion of consumer society – during Italy's economic boom – does little to erase the traces of a city that seems to have come straight out of a Vittorio De Sica or Roberto Rossellini(...)

Résumé:
There are many apparently contradictory black-and-white images of Rome that Ludovico Quaroni took around the eternal city. The baroque is to be found side by side with shacks, while the explosion of consumer society – during Italy's economic boom – does little to erase the traces of a city that seems to have come straight out of a Vittorio De Sica or Roberto Rossellini film. And then there are the fountains of Rome and the banks of the Tiber, Franco Albini's Rinascente and Castel Sant'Angelo, the EUR and the Vatican, right up to the market in Piazza Vittorio and the ancient Appian Way. Layers of civilisations intertwining, and in between them, the people of Rome, seemingly indifferent to the passing of the centuries. The architect's eye brings to life an unpublished and surprising book that may also be considered – and this is the common thread—an act of love towards the city where he was born. A text by the writer Francesco Pecoraro, himself a student of Quaroni, pays homage to the great architect's Rome.

Résumé:
Here we encounter a writer deeply engaged with narrative in situ—a traveler moving through beloved streets, sometimes accompanied, sometimes solo. With her, we see, anew, the Venice Biennale, the Lagoon, and San Michele, the island of the dead; the Piazza di Spagna, the Tiber, the view from the Gianicolo; the pigeons at San Marco and the parrots in the Doria Pamphili. As a poet first and foremost, Zarin’s attention to the smallest details, the loveliest gesture, brings Venice and Rome vividly to life for the reader. The sixteenth book in the expanding, renowned ekphrasis series, ''Two cities'' creates space for these two historic cities to become characters themselves, their relationship to the writer as real as any love affair.

With this book, philosopher Michael Marder fills the gap, offering a philosophical guide to passengerhood. He takes readers from ticketing and preboarding (preface and introduction) through a series of stops and detours (reflections on topics including time, space, existence, boredom, our sense of self, and our sense of the senses), to destination and disembarking (conclusion).

Résumé:
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.
