CROSSED PERSPECTIVES

Nomadism and neo-nomads

Ferjeux van der Stigghel, Arnaud Le Marchand

22/05/2013

The term ‘nomad’ includes many categories of people who are mobile: the Roma community, lorry drivers, fairground and seasonal workers, etc. However, over the past few decades, a new category has been added to the list: neo-nomads or “travellers”. A photographer and a university professor, both experts in their fields, discuss the situation today.

CONTROVERSIES

“Mobility as capital” Sketching the arguments

Vincent Kaufmann, Hanja Maksim, Simon Borja, Guillaume Courty, Thierry Ramadier

11/12/2012

In the debate about economic and social integration, the possibilities and conditions related to geographical movement are becoming increasingly important. They are widely discussed, and people at home, at work, on holidays, etc must deal with their implementation. We hear it discussed on television, in political, economic and scientific debates, in museums, at school, and so on. In short, moving about now seems to be an important challenge in many aspects of our daily lives.

CROSSED PERSPECTIVES

Travel time and speed

Yves Crozet, Michel Leboeuf

10/12/2012

The following article provides two points of view, one from a university professor and the other from one of the SNCF’s leading experts on high-speed travel. Their views, which are largely complementary – but sometimes in opposition, offer an insight into a subject that goes well beyond the question of transport and involves matters of public policy, regional development planning and individual choice.
