Bibliografia completa di Jean Gottmann
No full textGottmann's geographic literature spans over sixty years of activity -- between 1933 and 1994 -- and is composed of almost 400 titles, about twenty of which are books. Published mostly in French and English, his writings were translated in fourteen languages including Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Tamil, Dutch, Turkish, Slovenian, Japanese, Polish, Yiddish, German and modern Greek. Jean Gottmann's first official bibliography -- covering his writings between 1933 and 1984 -- was published in Patten, J. (ed.), 1983 in The Expanding City, Essays in honour of Professor Jean Gottmann, London-New York Academic Press, pp. xvii-xxxv. The same bibliography is entirely reprinted, with just one addition relative to 1983, in his volume of the same year: The Coming of the Transactional City, printed in College Park by the University of Maryland's Institute for Urban Studies. A selection of his publications dedicated to urban geography between 1949 and 1987 can be found in Jean Gottmann and Robert Harper, 1990, Since Megalopolis, the Urban Writings of Jean Gottmann, Baltimore and London, The Johns Hopkins University Press, pp. 269-280. Thanks to the partial opening of the Fond Gottmann, housed at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France Département des Cartes et Plans it was possible to verify his entire bibliography on the same notebook where Gottmann kept note of his own publications. Finally, the information in this bibliograhy was compared to the one available from the indexes of those thematic volumes that are selections of previously published essays from different scientific journals. In particular Etudes sur l'Etat d'Israel (1958), Essais sur l'aménagement de l'espace habité (1966), La cité invincible (1983) e Since Megalopolis (1990). We would like to thank Jean-Yves Sarazin, curator of the Fond Gottmann at the Bibliothéque Nationale de France in Paris, for his kind re-reading of the complete bibliography. We would also like to invite the reader that may be informed of recent and/or posthumous publications of Jean Gottmann - not included in this list - to contact the author

La norme et le mouvant. Eléments pour une relecture de l'oeuvre de Jean Gottmann
No full textNational audienceSince its rediscovery in the 1990's, the thought of Jean Gottmann had been received through a dialectical approach: the dualism iconography/circulation. Such a lecture which gives to the social and political norms a conservative role astonishes and tends to eclipse how Gottmann thought about the adaptative dynamics of the societies with a reference to the living world. This paper underlines the use of organic metaphors in the geographical language of Gottmann and shows that the references to Henri Bergson and Claude Bernard with which they are linked to are structuring influences to key notions of his work: the “carrefour” and the “milieu relationnel”. This new lecture of the work of Gottmann enlights the process of differentiation of space not as a result of a dialectic but as the ability of the societies to renew their spatial relations. In particular, the notion of "faculté d'accès" shows how much is important for a society to think about the use of its social and political norms – its "milieu relationnel" – in order to adapt itself to its international environment and the evolutions of its regional organization.Depuis sa redécouverte dans les années 1990, la pensée de Jean Gottmann a largement été reçue sous les traits d'une dialectique : le couple iconographie/circulation. Cette lecture étonne car elle confère aux normes sociales et politiques un rôle conservateur qui éclipse la réflexion de l'auteur sur les dynamiques adaptatives des sociétés élaborée en référence au monde vivant. Cet article souligne l'usage des métaphores organiques dans l'œuvre de Gottmann et montre que les références à Henri Bergson et Claude Bernard qui les sous-tendent sont des influences structurantes pour des notions clés de sa pensée : le carrefour et le milieu relationnel. Cette relecture de l'œuvre de Gottmann invite à comprendre la différenciation de l'espace non comme un dépassement dialectique des contraires mais comme une aptitude des sociétés à la recréation territoriale. En particulier, la notion de "faculté d'accès" montre l'importance pour les sociétés de savoir entretenir un dialogue avec leurs systèmes normatifs – leur milieu relationnel – pour assurer leur adaptation à leur environnement international et aux évolutions de leur organisation régionale
The complete bibliography of Jean Gottmann
No full textWith 414 entries, this work presents the most complete and updated version of the bibliography of Jean Gottmann (1915-1994), the French and cosmopolitan geographer, known for his studies of urban geography, and especially for those on the megalopolis of the Northeastern seaboard of the United States. In the 1990s, the posthumous rediscovery of his political geography, and in particular of his concept of iconography, opened the way for a reassessment of his pioneering role in cultural geography and to understand the transition from regional geography to the geography of networks. This bibliography thus constitutes a guide for the historian of geographical thought, indispensable for understanding the genesis and evolution of Gottmann’s overall work and, in general, an invitation to reread the writings of each author in the context of their broader scientific production as well as, of course, in the framework of the scientific and intellectual context of the time

O Circuito Iconográfico de Jean Gottmann no Rio de Janeiro (1973)
No full textIn Geography images can be powerful instruments for the development of reasoning, despite the more current usage that condemns them to the role of illustrations.The aim of this article is to approach images as primary analytical elements and explore their heuristic potential. The case under study involves the photos left by the geographer Jean Gottmann during his stay in Rio de Janeiro in 1973. The choice of this case is due both to the compositional elements present in the pictures and to the procedures used in their production. Three main types of movement were identified in the making of thesephotos: Gottmann’s circuit around the city, the camera’s displacements in the same point of view and the images made in motion. The study let to know that Jean Gottmann used images as research tools. The pictures are witnesses of the urbanization and urban sprawl of Rio de Janeiro.Na Geografia, as imagens podem ser poderosos instrumentos para o desenvolvimento do raciocínio, a despeito do uso mais corrente que as condena ao papel de ilustrações. O objetivo deste artigo é adotar as imagens como principais elementos analíticos e explorar todo o seu potencial heurístico. O caso em estudo envolve as fotografias deixadas pelo geógrafo Jean Gottmann durante sua estadia no Rio de Janeiro em 1973. A escolha desse caso se deve tanto aos elementos composicionais presentes nas fotografias, como aos procedimentos utilizados em sua produção. Foram identificados três principais tipos de movimento na realização dessas fotografias: o circuito de Gottmann pela cidade, os deslocamentos da câmera em um mesmo ponto de vista e as imagens feitas em movimento. O estudo revelou que Jean Gottmann utilizava as imagens como instrumentos de pesquisa. As fotografias são testemunhas eloquentes da urbanização e metropolização do Rio de Janeiro registradas por Gottmann

Jean Gottmann : an Iconography of Movement
No full textInternational audienceAt the beginning of 1995, the French National Library (BnF) welcomed the donation of the archives of geographer Jean Gottmann (1915-1994) made by his widow, Bernice Adelson Gottmann. Located in Oxford and New York, the archives were transferred in March of the same year to the Département des Cartes et Plans (BnF-DCP). The inventory by BNF curator Jean-Yves Sarazin (1967-2016) made it possible to organize the material into several categories: personal papers, correspondence, working dossiers, maps, books and iconographic documents. This bequest was the keystone of the 2005 conference “The Orbit of Jean Gottmann’s Geography” organized jointly by the Société de Géographie, the BnF and the University of Paris IV-Sorbonne. In 2019-2021, a partnership between Pacte – Laboratoire de Sciences Sociales (National Center for Scientific Research – CNRS, SciencePo Grenoble and Univ. Grenoble Alpes) and the BnF-DCP, launched a project of inventory, digitalization and study to increase the usefulness of the slide collection. Comprising 4,400 items, and spanning the years 1953-1979, this is the largest set of photographs by Jean Gottmann in existence in any archive. A description of each slide was provided by visual anthropologist Louise Hantson, then an EHESS student, Olivier Labussière (CNRS-Pacte), Olivier Loiseaux (BnF-DCP), and Luca Muscarà (Università del Molise-Pacte). Anne-Laure Amilhat Szary (UGA- Pacte) and Jean-Paul Hubert (Université Gustave Eiffel) joined the team for the analysis of the corpus. Half of the photos were shot in North America, a third in Europe, while Latin America and Asia accounted for 10-15%, with the remaining 5% consisting of diagrams, maps, and art works. Gottmann made the field shots while working in the United States, Europe, Israel, Latin America and Japan. The collection also includes personal portraits of colleagues, friends and family. Some photos were taken on field trips linked to editorial projects in the United States, such as those for the regional monographs of Virginia and Megalopolis; others are of regions previously researched for his books L’Amérique and A Geography of Europe, or in his early studies on Palestine. A crossover analysis of the places portrayed in these field trips and the travel notes jotted in his diaries (also at the BnF-DCP) allows these images to be placed in the extraordinarily dense weave of Gottmann’s professional life and incessant travels, intermingling field work, teaching, lecturing, meetings and exchanges with prominent scholars of the time. Overall, the collection not only documents the Transatlantic landscapes that constituted his geography in the decades of his long ‘Atlantic transhumance’, but also and more especially it makes visible Gottmann’s intellectual transition from French regional monograph to his innovative understanding of territory: a multiscalar geography of nodes and networks, informed by the cultural and psychological projection of the peoples sharing it as their common habitat. While Jean Gottmann’s international reputation was long associated with Megalopolis and urban geography, the American landscape of the 1950s casts a revealing light upon his French background in rural studies and his early discovery of the symbiosis between rural and urban in the northeastern seaboard of the US. From the 1960s onwards his photographic subjects are increasingly urban landscapes and urban change, skylines and skyscrapers, residential suburbs, university campuses, as well as industrial wasteland. Jean Gottmann’s contribution to geography was revolutionary: he introduced a major innovation to the discipline by positing the region as the hinge of a complex network. Pioneering the idea of urban networks, he overcome the limits of national frameworks in political geography. In the spirit of the scientific internationalism to which he was exposed in the interwar period and at the United Nations, Gottmann also wondered about the possibility of a world community in the future. He considered that a planetary political organization could only work on condition that it respected the world’s cultural variety. Also for this reason his photos are so interesting – and so necessary – in our troubled times. Many of his landscapes, shot ‘on the road’ or on the street, offer lively glimpses of people and places, emphasizing how this attraction for the cultural diversity of human settlements is key to his unique approach to geography: landscapes are never an empty stage, but rather a living theatre. Through his studies of territorial dynamics, he saw human geography as based on communities before states, their main differences consisting in the greater orientation of one community, compared to the greater resistance of another, towards change. In the context of the present acceleration of history, Jean Gottmann’s geography is ultimately concerned with our relationship with time. This book relates the process of the discovery itlself, and gathers contributions from Olivier Loiseaux (curator and map librarian, French National Public Library), geographers (Anne-Laure Amilhat Szary, Jean-Paul Hubert, Olivier Labussière, Luca Muscarà), a social anthropologist (Louise Hantson) and an artist (Yann Toma) for contributing to the development of a fresh and lively sight on Jean Gottmann's work. This book had been distributed as a catalogue during the original photographic exhibition "Jean Gottmann : an Iconography of Movement" organized for the centenial congress of the International Geographical Union, at the Center Pantheon, Paris, 18-22th July 2022
