Summary:
Pour la journaliste scientifique Sonia Shah, il est temps de reconnaître le rôle central des migrations dans l’histoire de la vie sur Terre, car le mouvement a toujours été le meilleur moyen d’assurer la survie collective des espèces. Or, la migration a mauvaise presse: les États se dotent de politiques antimigrants et érigent des murs barbelés au nom de la sécurité(...)

Summary:
Pour la journaliste scientifique Sonia Shah, il est temps de reconnaître le rôle central des migrations dans l’histoire de la vie sur Terre, car le mouvement a toujours été le meilleur moyen d’assurer la survie collective des espèces. Or, la migration a mauvaise presse: les États se dotent de politiques antimigrants et érigent des murs barbelés au nom de la sécurité nationale. En biologie, les espèces animales ou végétales exogènes sont considérées comme « envahissantes ». Pour déconstruire ces perceptions tenaces, Sonia Shah a suivi les migrants dans leurs périples, de l’île de Lesbos à la frontière entre le Mexique et les États-Unis, et plongé dans une fascinante recherche documentaire. Elle retrace les déplacements spectaculaires dans le règne animal et explique comment nos ancêtres ont peuplé les coins les plus isolés de la planète, des plateaux tibétains aux îles reculées du Pacifique. Dans un contexte de montée du racisme et de la xénophobie, Shah renverse notre regard sur les migrations pour en dévoiler toute la richesse et la beauté.

Summary:
As New York came to a halt with COVID, Michael Kimmelman composed an email to a group of architects, historians, writers, and friends, inviting them to take a walk. What began with a lighthearted trip to explore Broadway’s shuttered theater district and a stroll along Museum Mile when the museums were closed soon took on a much larger meaning and ambition. These intimate, funny, richly detailed conversations between Kimmelman and his companions became anchors for millions of Times readers during the pandemic. The walks unpacked the essence of urban life and its social fabric—the history, plans, laws, feats of structural engineering, architectural highlights, and everyday realities that make up the city. Filled with stunning photographs documenting the city during the era of COVID, this book is the ultimate insider’s guide. A kaleidoscopic portrait of an enduring metropolis, it reveals why New York continues to inspire and to mean so much to those who call it home and to countless others.

'Walking in Berlin' was a central model for Benjamin’s Arcades Project and remains a classic of “walking literature” that ranges from Surrealist perambulation to Situationist “psychogeography.” This MIT Press edition includes the complete text in translation as well as Benjamin’s essay on 'Walking in Berlin', originally written as a review of the book’s original edition.

Shortly thereafter, Stewart Brand, cyber-communard and editor of the Whole Earth Catalog, took up these ideas and published the book Space Colonies in 1977. Space Colonies, an edition of Brand’s CoEvolution Quarterly, funded by the proceeds of the Whole Earth Catalog, took up the question of whether space might be colonized by the year 2000. Artist Fabian Reimann takes up Brand and O’Neill’s particular strain of techno-utopianism in Space Colonies: A Galactic Freeman’s Journal. In his photo-essay Reimann assembles historical, present-day and speculative material, combining these with fictional and factual stories to create a composite of different images of the world. With global ecological disaster an even more pressing issue than it was in 1977, and the colonization of space still touted by some as a last-ditch resort, Reimann looks back at the dreams and nightmares of the 1970s with a sophisticated visual humor.

Mais qui n’a pas senti ce malaise, dans une boutique de souvenirs ou sur une plage des Caraïbes couvertes de baigneurs blancs ? Qui n’a jamais ramené de vacances le sentiment de l’absurde ? Aujourd’hui, même les mieux intentionnés des voyageurs contribuent malgré eux à la mondophagie touristique. Et rien ne semble pouvoir arrêter cette conquête démesurée des quatre coins du monde : ni la pollution qu’elle impose, ni la disparition des spécificités culturelles qu’elle vient niveler et encore moins la conscience de l’Autre qu’elle réduit à une relation marchande. Pouvons-nous nous évader du tourisme ? Rodolphe Christin nous invite à retrouver l’essence du voyage : préférer le chemin à la destination, et « disparaître » plutôt qu’apparaître partout.

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(...)

Summary:
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.

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.

Weaving historical anecdotes, geographical observations, and literary references, Hazan’s walk guides us through an unknown Paris. With the aid of maps, he delineates the most fascinating and forgotten parts of the city’s past and present. Planning and modernization have accelerated the erasure of its revolutionary history, yet through walking and observation, Hazan shows how we can regain our knowledge of the city of Robespierre, the Commune, Sartre, and the May ’68 uprising.
