Abstract

Drawing together many histories - of anatomical evolution and city design, of treadmills and labyrinths, of walking clubs and sexual mores - Rebecca Solnit creates a fascinating portrait of the range of possibilities presented by walking. Arguing that the history of walking includes walking for pleasure as well as for political, aesthetic, and social meaning, Solnit focuses on the walkers whose everyday and extreme acts have shaped our culture, from philosophers to poets to mountaineers. She profiles some of the most significant walkers in history and fiction - from Wordsworth to Gary Snyder, from Jane Austen’s Elizabeth Bennet to Andre Breton’s Nadja - finding a profound relationship between walking and thinking and walking and culture. Solnit argues for the necessity of preserving the time and space in which to walk in our ever more car-dependent and accelerated world

Abstract

Conçue à l'occasion de l'exposition "Jardin infini, de Giverny à l'Amazonie" (Centre Pompidou-Metz, 18 mars-28 août 2017), cette anthologie s'affranchit de la chronologie et de la hiérarchie des genres, et mêle récits de fiction, lettres, entretiens, poèmes, autobiographies, etc. Pensée comme une promenade parsemée de multiples détours, elle propose ainsi un parcours thématique, hors des sentiers battus à travers l'histoire de l'art.

Abstract

To live, every being must put out a line, and in life these lines tangle with one another. This book is a study of the life of lines. Following on from Tim Ingold's groundbreaking work Lines: A Brief History, it offers a wholly original series of meditations on life, ground, weather, walking, imagination and what it means to be human. In the first part, Ingold argues that a world of life is woven from knots, and not built from blocks as commonly thought. He shows how the principle of knotting underwrites both the way things join with one another, in walls, buildings and bodies, and the composition of the ground and the knowledge we find there. In the second part, Ingold argues that to study living lines, we must also study the weather. To complement a linealogy that asks what is common to walking, weaving, observing, singing, storytelling and writing, he develops a meteorology that seeks the common denominator of breath, time, mood, sound, memory, colour and the sky. This denominator is the atmosphere. In the third part, Ingold carries the line into the domain of human life. He shows that for life to continue, the things we do must be framed within the lives we undergo. In continually answering to one another, these lives enact a principle of correspondence that is fundamentally social.This compelling volume brings our thinking about the material world refreshingly back to life. While anchored in anthropology, the book ranges widely over an interdisciplinary terrain that includes philosophy, geography, sociology, art and architecture.

Abstract

Dans le cadre de ses tentatives pédagogiques, ou anti-pédagogiques, Fernand Deligny (1913-1996), éducateur, écrivain, a manifesté de tout temps un intérêt pour le cinéma. Dans les textes de ce recueil, il s'interroge d'abord sur ce qu'une certaine pratique cinématographique, qu'il appelle "camérer" (plutôt que filmer), peut bien signifier. Puis, dans un dialogue serré avec lui-même et avec l'énigme de la perception autistique (il a vécu pendant trente ans avec des enfants autistes), il aborde l'image, une et multiple, celle qui ne se voit pas, celle qu'ont en partage le poète et le cinéaste, celle qui fait "repère" , celle qui ne se laisse pas prendre.La quasi-totalité des textes de Deligny et l'iconographie qui les accompagne sont inédits, de même que les essais critiques proposés par les meilleurs connaisseurs de son oeuvre.

Abstract

Lucius Burckhardt (1925–2003) outlined his theory of the “smallest possible intervention” back in the early 1980s. The idea of minimal intervention runs through his entire oeuvre, from his critique of urbanism to the science of walking. The “smallest possible intervention” denotes a planning theory that assumes two “views” within landscape design: that which is actually visible and that in our mind’s eye. The theory of the minimal intervention means not interfering excessively with the existing landscape, but instead working with the landscape in our minds to develop an aesthetic understanding of the environment. In this book, available for the first time in English, the Swiss sociologist applies this formula to many areas of design.
