Celine Regnard – författare

La question du logement des populations mobiles du XVIIe siècle à nos jours est au centre de cet ouvrage. En portant la focale sur ces lieux-carrefours qui sont les « logements de la mobilité », ce livre entend étudier les modes d’habiter comme autant d’expressions de la mobilité. Les contributions réunies s’intéressent donc davantage à la production de ces lieux, à leurs formes et à leurs fonctions, qu’à une étude des structures d’accueil étatiques ou municipales des populations mobiles. L’accent est mis sur le rôle des individus dans l’espace – urbain ou rural –, indépendamment de la durée de leur passage, dans une perspective au ras du sol. Ainsi, les garnis, les bidonvilles, les caravanes, les hôtels meublés, les gourbis, les camps de transit, les squats, les auberges, les fondouks, les tentes, les abris ou encore les bains-douches sont le produit d’une diversité de façons d’habiter la mobilité, de par leurs structures architecturales et les relations sociales qui s’y tissent. L’examen de ces lieux, formes et conditions de vie vient enrichir une histoire des populations mobiles dans la longue durée.

This edited collection explores the notion of Italianness - or Italianità – through migration history. It focuses on the interaction between Italians circulating around the world, and their relationship with Italy from a political and cultural perspective. Answering the important question of how migration affects Italianness, the authors explore the ways in which migrants retained their Italian culture, customs and practices during and after their travels. Spanning a long period from the Risorgimento up until the 1960s, the book sheds light on the institutions and social structures that contributed to the construction of cultural links between Italian migrants and their country of origin. Not only broad in its temporal scope, the volume covers a wide geographic area, examining the lives of Italian migrants in North America, South America, Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. Bringing together a wealth of research on Italians, alongside the different migratory routes takenby these men and women, this book provides new insights into Italian culture and seeks to strengthen our understanding of Italian migration history.
