Résumé:
"La marche à pied est une maladie chronique et inoffensive. Elle est commune à une grande part de l'humanité. On peut la rendre plus singulière en la pratiquant dans un espace déterminé, en lui consacrant régulièrement des comptes-rendus (il vaut mieux qu'ils soient brefs) et en assortissant ceux-ci de petites images (la linogravure convient parfaitement à ce genre d'exercice). C'est ce que j'ai fait à Marseille, durant les dix premières années du xxie siècle. Je marchais pour faire mes courses, pour aller au boulot, pour aller quelque part ou n'importe où ; je marchais pour marcher et me réjouissais à chaque pas que ma ville garde en tout lieu la faculté de me séduire, de me surprendre, de me perdre. Chaque semaine je livrais mon billet et ma gravure... Sans idée d'attirer le lecteur ici où là ni prétention de lui révéler quelque secret ; en mêlant simplement la réalité du quotidien à l'errance de mes pensées".

Résumé:
In Wanderlust: A History of Walking, Rebecca Solnit draws together many histories, of anatomical evolution and city design, of treadmills and labyriths, of walking clubs and sexual mores, to create a portrait of the range of possibilities for this most basic act. 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.

Résumé:
Après un premier ouvrage consacré à Jean-François Pirson et à son travail pédagogique centré sur l’espace, la Cellule architecture poursuit cette collaboration en consacrant le troisième volume de sa collection aux marches et workshops qu’il mène depuis 2010. Dans ses workshops, cet artiste-pédagogue nous invite à expérimenter un 'corps-à-corps direct avec le territoire'. Partant d’un espace à explorer prédéfini par lui, chaque participant·e est invité·e à tracer au sens propre et au sens figuré son propre chemin, 'entre le monde et soi', 'dedans – dehors'. Cet ouvrage prolonge les intentions développées dans le premier volume : ouvrir des champs ; stimuler des expériences plastiques, kinesthésiques, ludiques et humaines accessibles à tous ; les partager.

Résumé:
There is no such thing as a false step. Every time we walk we are going somewhere. Especially if we are going nowhere. Moving around the modern city is not a way of getting from A to B, but of understanding who and where we are. In a series of riveting intellectual rambles, Matthew Beaumont retraces episodes in the history of the walker since the mid-nineteenth century. From Dickens’s insomniac night rambles to restless excursions through the faceless monuments of today’s neoliberal city, the act of walking is one of self-discovery and self-escape, of disappearances and secret subversions. Pacing stride for stride alongside literary amblers and thinkers such as Edgar Allan Poe, André Breton, H. G. Wells, Virginia Woolf, Jean Rhys and Ray Bradbury, Beaumont explores the relationship between the metropolis and its pedestrian life. Through these writings, Beaumont asks: Can you get lost in a crowd? What are the consequences of using your smartphone in the street? What differentiates the nocturnal metropolis from the city of daylight? What connects walking, philosophy and the big toe? And can we save the city—or ourselves—by taking to the pavement?

Résumé:
The tale of how the hero Theseus killed the Minotaur, finding his way out of the labyrinth using Ariadne's ball of red thread, is one of the most intriguing, suggestive and persistent of all myths, and the labyrinth - the beautiful, confounding and terrifying building created for the half-man, half-bull monster - is one of the foundational symbols of human ingenuity and artistry. Charlotte Higgins, author of the Baillie Gifford-shortlisted ''Under Another Sky,'' tracks the origins of the story of the labyrinth in the poems of Homer, Catullus, Virgil and Ovid, and with them builds an ingenious edifice of her own. She follows the idea of the labyrinth through the Cretan excavations of Sir Arthur Evans, the mysterious turf labyrinths of Northern Europe, the church labyrinths of medieval French cathedrals and the hedge mazes of Renaissance gardens. Along the way, she traces the labyrinthine ideas of writers from Dante and Borges to George Eliot and Conan Doyle, and of artists from Titian and Vel zquez to Picasso and Eva Hesse. Her intricately constructed narrative asks what it is to be lost, what it is to find one's way, and what it is to travel the confusing and circuitous path of a lived life. ''Red thread'' is, above all, a winding and unpredictable route through the byways of the author's imagination - one that leads the reader on a strange and intriguing journey, full of unexpected connections and surprising pleasures.

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.
