The ‘walking/wheeling with’ framework
Adopting a mobility justice lens, this review paper brings together the often-fragmented literature on walking and wheeling with children and develops a ‘Walking/Wheeling With’ framework to understand and address the infrastructural, social, and cultural barriers that constrain these mobilities, and celebrate the many benefits they bring at the individual, family, community and planetary levels. Rooted in the everyday realities of caregiving mobi…

Jamin Wells. Shipwrecked
In Shipwrecked: Coastal Disasters and the Making of the American Beach, Jamin Wells argues that shipwrecks were essential to the transformation of the American shoreline from an isolated, largely unoccupied, and repulsive space in the late eighteenth century to a well-regulated and beloved playground at the end of the nineteenth century. In doing so, Wells brings a fresh perspective to the history of the seaside by connecting it with frontier his…
In Practice
I have been thinking a lot about environmental pedagogy in American studies, especially since I started teaching a third-year interdisciplinary course, Climate Change & Culture Wars, which focusses on the post-1970s US. I wanted to know more about how others are approaching the topic as we face up to looming climate and ecological collapse. University teachers and learners across disciplines are reckoning with it, but what's going on in American …
Places and Cultures of Capitalism
Over the past decade or so, the concept of capitalism has exploded within the domains of popular culture and mainstream political discourse in the United States, a phenomenon driven forward by the visibility of anticapitalist movements like Occupy Wall Street, the appearance of bestselling books like Thomas Piketty’s Capital in the Twenty-First Century and blockbuster movies like The Big Short, and the meteoric rise of nationally prominent democr…

Urban Renewal by the Sea
Urban renewal was not just a city phenomenon: it also unfolded on the beaches of coastal metropolises, most spectacularly in Los Angeles where a “beach lobby” made up of public officials, businessmen, and engineers coalesced in the 1930s. In the postwar, they implemented their vision by buying beaches for the public and turning the polluted and eroded strands of the early-twentieth century into modern playgrounds. While they effectively prevented…
Spectacular Bodies
This article explores the origins, whitewashing, and eventual fetishization of the “California look”—a body ideal centered on bronzed skin, bleached hair, and bulging muscles, which gained a prominent place within American visual imagery in the second half of the twentieth century. Rather than solely focusing on representations of California bodies in popular culture, as other studies have done, the article locates the origins of the California l…
« Il y a des lois sur la plage ! »
Comment conjuguer l’impératif hédoniste imposé par le cadre balnéaire et la nécessité d’assurer l’ordre urbain ? Telle est la question qui se pose tout au long du XX e siècle aux autorités chargées de la surveillance des plages de Los Angeles. Au croisement de l’histoire de la police et de l’histoire du phénomène balnéaire, cet article analyse la manière dont les autorités, les usagers et les propriétaires ont négocié l’ordre balnéaire, depuis le…

The Right to the Beach? Urban Renewal, Public Space Policing and the Definition of a Beach Public in Postwar Los Angeles, 1940s-1960s
La question raciale sur le littoral de Los Angeles (années 1920-années 1970)
Si les plages de Los Angeles sont officiellement déségrégées en 1927, une ségrégation informelle persiste tout au long du siècle, par la violence ou par le biais de stratégies territoriales subtiles. En retour, les Noirs mais aussi les Latinos revendiquent leur « droit à la plage » en usant de tactiques diverses, de la fondation d'un club privé à la confrontation violente avec leurs agresseurs. Dans l'après-guerre, les minorités raciales, désorma…
Bathing beauties, bodybuilders et surfeurs
Fascination with Los Angeles’s beaches and their bodies started long before the series Baywatch. While the iconic figures of the pin-up, the body-builder, and the surfer may seem to be the products of the prosperous postwar period, they are actually rooted in much older bodily practices. These cultures of the body emerged on the city’s beaches at the beginning of the century and flourished in the 1920s and 1930s, when Los Angeles reached one mill…
La politique sécuritaire et les manifestations contre la police dans le ghetto noir de Chicago (1943-1969)
Dans la seconde moitié des années 1960, à Chicago, des organisations se revendiquant de l'idéologie du « pouvoir noir » ont mobilisé un nombre sans précédent de jeunes Afro-Américains pour participer à des actions de protestation contre la brutalité policière. Cet article montre le rôle ambigu joué par ces manifestations dans la lutte globale pour les droits civiques à Chicago. Il défend l'idée selon laquelle cette approche s'est avérée source de…
Comparing Exceptionalism in France and the USA
This article challenges the current scholarship on the history of the death penalty and its abolition by adopting a transatlantic framework and debunking the popular contemporary conception of the “Barbaric Americans” against the “civilised” anti-death penalty French. The article focuses on the short period in the 1970s during which American executions were halted by the Supreme Court, while France was still putting prisoners to death in cases th…
