Résumé:
In this poignant and acclaimed novel about the beauty of lost things, the protagonist traces the lives of four elderly German/Jewish exiles. The Emigrants is composed of four long narratives which at first appear to be the straightforward accounts of the lives of several Jewish exiles in England, Austria, and America. The narrator literally follows their footsteps, studding each story with photographs and creating the impression that the reader is poring over a family album. But gradually, Sebald's prose, which combines documentary description with almost hallucinatory fiction, exerts a new magic, and the four stories merge into one. Illustrated throughout with enigmatic photographs.

Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
«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
