Résumé:
Les touristes ont longtemps été désirés et choyés. Mais en rangs trop serrés, ils ne sont plus accueillis à bras ouverts. Venise, New York, Barcelone ou Dubrovnik s’interrogent et réglementent. Et dans les villes comme en pleine nature, des quotas fleurissent. Le surtourisme et la menace qu’il fait planer sur l’environnement, la nature, les populations locales, n’a jamais été autant d’actualité. Cet ouvrage identifie les raisons conduisant à la surfréquentation touristique, ainsi que les solutions et idées proposées pour lutter contre le phénomène, en s’inspirant des mesures déployées ici ou ailleurs. Voyage au pays du surtourisme s’adresse autant aux professionnels du tourisme qu’aux voyageurs.

Résumé:
For many years, Orhan Pamuk kept a record of his daily thoughts and observations, entering them in small notebooks and illustrating them with his own paintings. This book combines those notebooks into one volume. He writes about his travels around the world, his family, his writing process, and his complex relationship with his home country of Turkey. He charts the seeds of his novels and the things that inspired his characters and the plots of his stories. Intertwined in his writings are the vibrant paintings of the landscapes that surround and inspire him. A beautiful object in its own right, in "Memories of distant mountains" readers can explore Pamuk's intoxicating inner world and can have a fascinating, intimate encounter with the art, culture, and charged political currents that have shaped one of literature’s most important voices.

Résumé:
En octobre 1974 Georges Perec s'est installé pendant trois jours consécutifs place Saint-Sulpice à Paris. À différents moments de la journée, il a noté ce qu'il voyait: les événements ordinaires de la rue, les gens, véhicules, animaux, nuages et le passage du temps. Des listes. Les faits insignifiants de la vie quotidienne. Rien, ou presque rien. Mais un regard, une perception humaine, unique, vibrante, impressionniste, variable, comme celle de Monet devant la cathédrale de Rouen. Les mille petits détails inaperçu qui font la vie d'une grande cité, d'un quartier dans une grande cité. Les innombrables variations imperceptibles du temps, de la lumière, du décor, du vivant. Autobus, chiens, passants, touristes. «Ce qui se passe quand il ne se passe rien, sinon du temps, des gens, des voitures et des nuages.» Ce texte magistral dans l'oeuvre de Perec figure à présent au rang des classiques.

Résumé:
This book examines the origins of Psychogeography in the Situationist Movement of the 1950s, exploring the theoretical background and its political applications as well as the work of early practitioners such as Guy Debord and Raoul Vaneigem. Elsewhere, psychogeographic ideas continue to find retrospective validation in much earlier traditions from the visionary writing of William Blake and Thomas De Quincey to the rise of the flâneur on the streets of 19th century Paris and on through the avant-garde experimentation of the Surrealists. These precursors to Psychogeography are discussed here alongside their modern counterparts, for today these ideas hold greater currency than ever through the popularity of writers and filmmakers such as Iain Sinclair and Peter Ackroyd, Stewart Home and Patrick Keiller.

Résumé:
Alexandra Horowitz shows us how to see the spectacle of the ordinary—to practice, as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle put it, “the observation of trifles.” Structured around a series of eleven walks the author takes, mostly in her Manhattan neighborhood, On Looking features experts on a diverse range of subjects, including an urban sociologist, the well-known artist Maira Kalman, a geologist, a physician, and a sound designer. Horowitz also walks with a child and a dog to see the world as they perceive it. What they see, how they see it, and why most of us do not see the same things reveal the startling power of human attention and the cognitive aspects of what it means to be an expert observer.
