Résumé:
Throughout the twentieth century, the ancient city of Athens underwent a massive transformation into simple sets of apartment blocks, or polykatoikia. Today, these multifamily residential units define the city’s landscape from center to periphery and house a majority of Greece’s population. Yet specific circumstances and cultural patterns set Athens’s transformation apart from the arrival of architectural modernity in other countries, and what has emerged in Athens is a distinctly Greek variety of modern urban development. "The Public-Private House" examines Athens’s urban character and the apparently unlimited adaptability of polykatoikia.

Résumé:
La campagne est vivante, comme lieu de vie et comme imaginaire. La pandémie de Covid-19 a encore accéléré ces tendances?: vivre à la campagne serait «?la?» solution face aux crises sanitaires, écologiques, économiques ou sociales de nos vies citadines contemporaines. Pour aller au-delà d’un certain fantasme, Valérie Jousseaume réalise un état des lieux et remet la campagne en perspective. Elle interroge le rôle et les atouts des territoires dans la transition sociétale. Et, surtout, elle redonne aux ruraux une place d’acteurs dans ce changement de civilisation en cours. Le livre déconstruit les cadres de pensée et les vocabulaires, pour sortir la «?France périphérique?» du cul-de-sac intellectuel où elle se trouve.

Résumé:
Cet ouvrage propose de construire une histoire animale de Paris en articulant deux principaux objectifs. D’une part, il s’agit de rendre visibles le rôle et la place des bêtes dans l’histoire de la ville et de révéler que ce sont aussi les vaches, les mésanges, les loups, les fouines, les faucons, les girafes, les chevaux, les brochets et les cerfs qui ont fait le Paris d’aujourd’hui. Alors que les animaux ont longtemps été effacés ou minorés des récits dominants, l’histoire que nous campons tente de mettre en lumière ce que la présence animale a généré dans la capitale. D’autre part, en menant cette enquête sur le temps long, en observant les lieux de partage entre l’humain et l’animal, qu’ils soient l’expression de tension, de collaboration ou de domination, il s’agit de dégager des indices pour imaginer ce que pourrait être un Paris à même de créer une altérité avec l’animal ; pour reprendre les mots de la philosophe Donna Haraway : « Nous devons apprendre ainsi, au coeur d’un présent épais, à bien vivre et à bien mourir, ensemble. »
