Paris-Amsterdam Underground by Christoph Lindner,Andrew Hussey Pdf

The postwar histories of Paris and Amsterdam have been significantly defined by the notion of the “underground” as both a material and metaphorical space. Examining the underground traffic between the two cities, this book interrogates the countercultural histories of Paris and Amsterdam in the mid to late-twentieth century. Shuttling between Paris and Amsterdam, as well as between postwar avant-gardism and twenty-first century global urbanism, this interdisciplinary book seeks to create a mirroring effect over the notion of the underground as a driving force in the making of the contemporary European city.

Paris Metro Tales by Helen Constantine Pdf

Following on from Helen Constantine's hugely successful Paris Tales, the twenty-two short stories included in More Metro Tales take the reader on an fascinating journey around Paris by metro. The journey begins at the Gare du Nord, stops at twenty underground stations along the way, and ends at Lamarck-Caulaincourt. Some of these stories actually take place in the metro itself, but most are to be found when you emerge above ground. They range from the15th-century account of the miraculous Saint Genevieve, patron saint of Paris, through tales by favourite writers such as Zola, Simenon, and Maupassant, to Martine Delerm's evocation of the last hours of Modigliani's mistress, Jeanne Hébuterne. Gérard de Nerval evokes the thriving, bustling market in Les Halles in the 1850s;Colette recounts her involvement in a traffic accident near the Opéra; Boulanger describes a blackly funny experience in Père Lachaise.Each story is illustrated with a black-and-white photograph and there is a map and suggested itinerary round the metro system. Readers will find familiar and unfamiliar writers here, but all are masterly writers of the short story and each evokes a different aspect of this endlessly intriguing and much-loved city, whether the traveller is on the metro or at home sitting in an armchair.

Separated on the Paris Metro by Cody Tolmasoff Pdf

As she pounded on the door of the Metro to let her in, the train lurched forward and started to move. Running over to look through the window where her younger sister Zoe and cousin Thibault sat alone, she yelled, “go to Thibault’s house.” Watching helplessly, the train disappeared into the tunnel. Anna Dahlia, a middle school girl on a Paris family vacation, wanted to prove her independence and show how responsible she could be. She never thought it would be this tough. While traveling on the Paris Metro with her younger sister and cousin, her purse is stolen while boarding a connecting train. She is left without directions, phone, or wallet. No one is around to help. Will she avoid a panic attack? Where will she find help? Can she make her way? Will her sister and cousin manage on their own? This wasn’t the vacation she expected. ★★★★★ One story, written as two books, told from each sister’s perspective. In the first book, read the story from Anna Dahlia’s viewpoint. Continue with the second book to increase comprehension, add extra details, and story variations with the story seen from her sister Zoe’s point of view. Reading a book twice can dramatically increase reader comprehension. However, encouraging readers to read a story twice can be tough. Providing the same story from another character’s point of view, bringing a change in perspective, and some alternate storylines will excite readers to take a deeper dive into what they have just read.

The Paris Metro 40th Anniversary Issue by Joel Stratte-McClure,Patsi Benter-Krakoff Pdf

The Paris Metro was a fortnightly, English-language magazine in France that published sixty-four issues between June 1976 and December 1978.Although time can diminish or exaggerate the past, there seems to be agreement that there was something special and unique about The Paris Metro - and the creative people associated with it.Published roughly in chronological order, these fifty anecdotes, memoirs, reflections and vignettes written in 2016 by former staff members, freelancers and readers of The Paris Metro provide a glimpse of the magazine's then-magical presence and now-mythical stature.The compilation provides some insight into the magazine's allure and includes scores of illustrations and extracts plucked from past issues. And photo spreads by two of the best photographers in Paris during the 1970s.

In the Metro by Marc Augé Pdf

Tourists climb the Eiffel Tower to see Paris. Parisians know that to really see the city you must descend into the metro. In this revelatory book, Marc Auge takes readers below Paris in a work that is both an ethnography of the city and a personal narrative. Guiding us through history, memory, and physical space, Auge juxtaposes the romance of the metro with the reality of multiethnic urban France. His work is part autobiography, with impressions from a lifetime riding the trains; part meditation on self and memory reflected in the people and places underneath Paris; part analysis of a place where the third world and the first world meet, where remnants of cultures move and press together; and part a reflection on anthropology in an era of globalization and urban development. Although he is a pillar of French thought, In the Metro is Auge's first major critical and creative work translated into English. It shows him to be firmly rooted in a tradition of literary ethnography that reaches back to Claude Levi-Strauss and Michel de Certeau, but also engaged in current theoretical debates in literary and cultural studies. In Auge's idiosyncratic and innovative approach, the act of observing the quotidian is elevated to an art. The writer and his history become part of the field he observes, and anthropology interacts with a site -- urban life -- usually reserved for sociology and cultural studies. Throughout, Auge reveals a passion for his milieu, seeing the metro as a place rich with history and literature -- an eclectic egalitarian society.

Capitals of Punk by Tyler Sonnichsen Pdf

Capitals of Punk tells the story of Franco-American circulation of punk music, politics, and culture, focusing on the legendary Washington, DC hardcore punk scene and its less-heralded counterpart in Paris. This book tells the story of how the underground music scenes of two major world cities have influenced one another over the past fifty years. This book compiles exclusive accounts across multiple eras from a long list of iconic punk musicians, promoters, writers, and fans on both sides of the Atlantic. Through understanding how and why punk culture circulated, it tells a greater story of (sub)urban blight, the nature of counterculture, and the street-level dynamics of that centuries-old relationship between France and the United States.
