Book Description
Les journaux se font quasi quotidiennement l'écho des bouleversements qui affectent l'automobile : fusions, rachats, faillites, lancement de nouveaux produits. Le produit " automobile " se transforme à mesure que l'économie se globalise. Le produit qui a révolutionné le siècle est toujours vecteur de rêve, mais devient aussi l'objet d'inquiétude. Comment penser un monde où circulera un milliard d'automobiles ? Les constructeurs ont adapté leur stratégie à la nouvelle donne économique globale, à laquelle ils participent activement : des usines voient le jour dans des endroits reculés de la Planète, pour des marchés jusque-là négligés. Parallèlement, les populations du monde adaptent l'automobile et ses usages aux contraintes et aux spécificités des territoires qu'elles occupent. Pris entre global et local, le portrait de l'automobile au début du XXIe siècle est donc à la fois complexe et passionnant, prenant toutes les nuances de l'occupation humaine de la Terre. Ce livre, destiné aux premier et deuxième cycles de géographie, s'adresse également à tous ceux qu'intéressent l'industrie automobile et les automobiles elles-mêmes.

Depuis un siècle, l'automobile est le formidable moyen de ces recompositions qui, entre autres, opposèrent aux tendances générales de l'urbanisation le dessin de territoires suburbains, urbains et touristiques. L'évolution n'est pas achevée. La voiture naguère familiale devient individuelle, favorisant l'apparition de nouveaux territoires, telle la périurbanisation.

Category : Reference
Languages : fr
Pages : 154
Book Description
«Entre passion et désamour... l'automobile est au cœur des changements de nos sociétés.» Cet atlas révèle, grâce à plus de 100 cartes, les changements qui bousculent l'ancien monde de l'automobile et donne les clés pour comprendre le nouveau monde qui se dessine. • Des marchés qui se distinguent : les pays qui remettent en cause la place de l'automobile vs les marchés émergents qui soutiennent la production. • Les politiques urbaines, associées à la régulation publique en faveur du climat : réduction de la place de l'automobile en ville. • Les avancées technologiques : mise en circulation de véhicules autonomes, roulant à l'électricité... • Les nouvelles solutions de mobilité : covoiturage, autopartage ou VTC. La gestion des ressources et les nouvelles technologies, sur lesquelles s'appuie l'industrie automobile, entraînent des tensions entre États mais également entre grandes multinationales.

A Vehicle for Change
Author: Éamon Ó Cofaigh
Publisher: Liverpool University Press
ISBN: 1802070672
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
An Open Access edition of this book will be available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library. Since its invention, the automobile has been systematically ‘consumed’, to become part of the fabric of twentieth- and twenty-first-century society, its impact and perception making the car an accurate gauge of changing cultural norms and values. As it grew in popularity, the automobile conditioned the very texture of modern life, and the particularly car-centred society of contemporary France is an especially apt locus for examination. The ubiquity of the automobile across all social strata provides us with a defined lens through which to examine the evolution of French society in the modern and post-modern eras. Taking the Second World War as a pivotal moment in recent French history, this book demonstrates how the automobile was both consumed and fetishized in distinct ways before and after this conflict. The ways in which society evolved from the pre- to the post-war period allow us to view French culture through the prism of the automobile as it embodied technological and social progress in twentieth-century France. The present volume seeks to explore and interrogate the processes of representation and mediation inherent in the evolving patterns of automobile consumption, and their subsequent impacts on local and national identity, framed by a detailed case study centred on France from the late-nineteenth century to the oil crisis of the early 1970s.

The Tour de France

Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520256301
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 431
Book Description
"Shows that sport has been for us moderns the ultimate tabula rasa into which we pour our hopes, fears, prejudices and self-interest."—Robert A. Nye, author of Crime, Madness, & Politics in Modern France and Masculinity and Male Codes of Honor in Modern France "Chris Thompson has written an engaging, nicely-paced account of France's world-famous cycle race: his writing is lively and full of detail and excitement. But he has done much more than simply narrate the story of the Tour. His book sets the race—its history, its participants and its meaning—firmly in its shifting national and cultural contexts. The sections dealing with professional cycling as a form of labor and with the Tour's place in France's troubled twentieth century are absolutely first-rate: insightful and original. This is the best history of the Tour that we have and are likely to have for many years, a work of scholarship that deserves to find a broad general readership."—Tony Judt, author of Postwar: A History of Europe Since 1945
