Reflections for Drawing Closer to the World

How should we think about travel in a context of environmental and social crises? Rodolphe Christin invites us to take new ecosophical paths to draw closer to the world.

The tourism industry testifies to the ambiguity of our relationship to the world, to both its excesses and its lacks. As a product of capitalism, it imposes its logic on the areas it serves, weighing on land-use planning, access to housing, water resources, and the volume and nature of the waste produced… But its economy remains fragile, as the pandemic revealed. In a context of environmental, geopolitical, and social crises, how can we think about travel, so often reduced to a photograph or a trinket quickly forgotten? If one admits that discovery can still have meaning, another path must be traced. Can We Still Travel? is an invitation to conceive new ecosophical paths to draw closer to the world.
