Is the planet on a one-way collision course with self-destruction? Are cars, roads and everything that goes along with them the main culprits for the end of the world as we know it? In addressing the nebulous, amorphous and material ties between vehicles and infrastructure, this Special Section of SA/AS provides some cross-cultural histories for better understanding commonplace as well as alternative paths, tracks and travel experiences. It also offers ethnographic narratives for the social lives, cultures and lived environments of everyday micro-journeys or the hyper-mobilities of human imaginaries. This collection of essays reaches a vantage point for a broad perspective on our long-term relationship with transport infrastructures – helping to assess their impact on both the built environment and the Earth’s ecosystems. La Terre est-elle sur une trajectoire de collision à sens unique avec l’autodestruction ? Les voitures, les routes et tout ce qui les accompagne sont-ils les principaux responsables de la fin du la planète telle que nous la connaissons ? En abordant les liens nébuleux, amorphes et matériels entre les véhicules et les infrastructures, cette section spéciale de SA/AS fournit quelques histoires interculturelles pour mieux comprendre les chemins ordinaires, ainsi que les chemins alternatifs, les pistes et les expériences de voyage. Elle propose également des récits ethnographiques sur les vies sociales, les cultures et les environnements vécus des micro-voyages quotidiens, ou les hyper-mobilités de l’imaginaire humain. Ce recueil d’essais offre un point d’observation pour une large perspective sur notre relation à long terme avec les infrastructures de transport – aidant à évaluer leur impact sur l’environnement bâti et les écosystèmes mondiaux
