As part of the official activities of the International Associated Laboratory MEDITERRAPOLIS, the summer school aims to study the relationship between mobility and ways of inhabiting space, from an interdisciplinary and long-term viewpoint. The choice of this theme has its roots in several collective projects and individual researches conducted within the UMR TELEMME and the MMSH.
Studying the ways of inhabiting through the prism of mobility phenomena makes it possible to reformulate the notion of inhabiting and to acknowledge the important role that movement and instability have on present societies as well as those in the past.
The notion of living as proposed in this summer school should be understood in the broadest sense of the word : “deal with space”, which is not limited to that of “residing permanently”, but is also synonymous with frequenting, being in a place for diverse and incidental reasons: to work, to have fun, to take refuge, to take shelter, to get together, to stroll, to travel, to drink and to eat, etc. This conceptualization of living is based on a shift with respect to Heidegger’s understanding of living, centred on here (rootedness and proximity) and habit (habitus).
