Les marches urbaines exploratoires de nuit : une critique socio-urbaine en situation

摘要

The article deals with the hypothesis of a relationship between the new systematized urban criticism and the development of scientific literature on urban walking as a global social fact (M. Mauss, 1923-24). The methodologically experimentation of urban walking would allow an in situ comprehension of urban world: a critic about urban planning (how it is managed and the discursive around) faced to how it's used and lived. We have to prove that articulation is successful to a complex comprehension (E. Morin, 1990) of Western nocturnal urbanity. This is a way to question usual analytic categories linked to a situation. Thus, we experimented a new methodology: exploratory urban night-walks. They are based on a wide corpus like urban diagnosis (diagnosis by walking, explorations of M. Armengaud and L. Gwiazdzinski, …), critics of modern movement (G. Debord and urban drifts, JF Augoyard, …) and sensitive and urban explorations (demarches of JP Thibaud, JY Petiteau, cognitive map, …).
