Sustainable motility

16/07/2018

As a researcher of the Living in the Mobility Transition project, I have been thinking about new ways of unpacking the so-called “mobility transitions”, over the past six months. Last month, both at the Royal Geographical Society and the Cosmobilities/T2M annual conferences, I came forward with some ideas, although these are still (very) preliminary and incipient.

Que peut apporter l'art sur les études de la mobilité ?

Mobile Lives Forum

16/07/2018

Le croisement entre démarches scientifique et artistique donne lieu, depuis quelques années, à un nombre croissant de réflexions et de réalisations. Ces investigations se situent essentiellement dans le champ des mathématiques, de la physique ou de la biologie. On compte toutefois quelques mobilisations de l’art dans le champ des sciences humaines et sociales, pour sonder des phénomènes urbains aux côtés des méthodes plus classiques de la géographie et de la sociologie par exemple.

An essential artistic approach? The case of the Industrial Heritage Trail in Germany

Guillaume Logé

16/07/2018

The creation of the Industrial Heritage Trail provided a link between and coherence of the various constituents of the Ruhr territory. The trail is an integral part of the region’s founding identity, on which its conception was based. While intended as a tourist trail, it is also a trail that reflects the virtuous exchange between culture and economic and social development.

The surexpression of wander lines

Guillaume Logé

16/07/2018

The study of the wanderings of children with autism carried out by Fernand Deligny’s network over the course of a decade opens up thinking about the determinants of travel, our ability to express our own mobility identity and the invisible at play in our relationship to space and to others. More broadly, it is mobility as an ontological expression that we are called upon to conceive.

Mobilities processes in Simon Starling’s work

Guillaume Logé

Simon Starling’s use of travel acts both as a mirror of the irrational development models of our societies and as an invitation to invent other practices.

Robert Smithson’s Many Flights

Guillaume Logé

16/07/2018

The death of Robert Smithson in a plane crash in 1973, while flying over one of his works in progress, helped forge the mythical aura of this American artist who, at age 35, left behind a literary and artistic legacy that would deeply impact the art world. Smithson’s flight clearly refers to his last, tragic flight, but above all seems an appropriate way of describing both the general attitude of an artist whose thinking developed as a consequence of a life spent in perpetual motion, and the reflections he gained around the airplane, as we will outline in this post.

Accumulations and Wanderings, Interview with Jean-Jacques Lebel (Part II)

Guillaume Logé

The first part of our interview with Jean-Jacques Lebel showed us how mobility helps us to build our perspective, giving us access to the freedom and autonomy necessary for individuals to manage themselves. The second part of the interview addresses wandering and drifting from the standpoint of social and political emancipation.
