In London Underground: A Cultural Geography, David Ashford sets out to chart one of the strangest, as well as the most familiar, spaces in London. This book provides a theoretical account of the evolution of an archetypal modern environment. The first to complete that slow process of estrangement from the natural topography initiated by the Industrial Revolution, the London Underground is shown to be what French anthropologist Marc Augé has termed non-lieu - a non-place, like motorway, supermarket or airport lounge, compelled to interpret its relationship to the invisible landscape it traverses through the medium of signs and maps. Surveying an unusually wide variety of material, ranging from the Victorian triple-decker novel, to Modernist art and architecture, to Pop music and graffiti, this cultural geography suggests that the tube-network is a transitional form, linking the alienated spaces of Victorian England to the virtual spaces of our contemporary consumer-capitalism. Recounting the history of the production of this new space, and of the struggles it has generated, London Underground is nothing less than the story of how people have attempted to make a home in the psychopathological spaces of the modern world.

A history of New York subway passengers as they navigated the system's constraints while striving for individuality, or at least a smooth ride. When the subway first opened with much fanfare on October 27, 1904, New York became a city of underground passengers almost overnight. In this book, Stefan Hohne examines how the experiences of subway passengers in New York City were intertwined with cultural changes in urban mass society throughout the twentieth century.

Cet ouvrage est le fruit d'une recherche sur les conséquences qu'a pu avoir la mise en service du métro de Lyon sur la vie quotidienne des habitants des quartiers desservis. Les auteurs, chercheurs dans une équipe du CNRS, ont cependant voulu dépasser ce problème pour présenter des résultats de portée plus générale sur le phénomène de mobilité. Celle-ci se révèle être un des aspects le plus important de la vie moderne dans la mesure où elle apparaît comme le lien entre les diverses utilisations du temps et de l'espace urbain. Si les conséquences du métro sont faiblement perceptibles dans la vie quotidienne, celle-ci s'est en revanche révélée très sensible aux conditions générales de l'activité économique. Ces conclusions conduisent à s'interroger sur les changements que pourrait connaître la vie quotidienne dans les années à venir.
