Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les journaux se font quasi quotidiennement l'écho des bouleversements qui affectent l'automobile : fusions, rachats, faillites, lancement de nouveaux produits. Le produit " automobile " se transforme à mesure que l'économie se globalise. Le produit qui a révolutionné le siècle est toujours vecteur de rêve, mais devient aussi l'objet d'inquiétude. Comment penser un monde où circulera un milliard d'automobiles ? Les constructeurs ont adapté leur stratégie à la nouvelle donne économique globale, à laquelle ils participent activement : des usines voient le jour dans des endroits reculés de la Planète, pour des marchés jusque-là négligés. Parallèlement, les populations du monde adaptent l'automobile et ses usages aux contraintes et aux spécificités des territoires qu'elles occupent. Pris entre global et local, le portrait de l'automobile au début du XXIe siècle est donc à la fois complexe et passionnant, prenant toutes les nuances de l'occupation humaine de la Terre. Ce livre, destiné aux premier et deuxième cycles de géographie, s'adresse également à tous ceux qu'intéressent l'industrie automobile et les automobiles elles-mêmes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Open Access edition of this book will be available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library. Since its invention, the automobile has been systematically ‘consumed’, to become part of the fabric of twentieth- and twenty-first-century society, its impact and perception making the car an accurate gauge of changing cultural norms and values. As it grew in popularity, the automobile conditioned the very texture of modern life, and the particularly car-centred society of contemporary France is an especially apt locus for examination. The ubiquity of the automobile across all social strata provides us with a defined lens through which to examine the evolution of French society in the modern and post-modern eras. Taking the Second World War as a pivotal moment in recent French history, this book demonstrates how the automobile was both consumed and fetishized in distinct ways before and after this conflict. The ways in which society evolved from the pre- to the post-war period allow us to view French culture through the prism of the automobile as it embodied technological and social progress in twentieth-century France. The present volume seeks to explore and interrogate the processes of representation and mediation inherent in the evolving patterns of automobile consumption, and their subsequent impacts on local and national identity, framed by a detailed case study centred on France from the late-nineteenth century to the oil crisis of the early 1970s.

La gestion des ressources et les nouvelles technologies, sur lesquelles s'appuie l'industrie automobile, entraînent des tensions entre États mais également entre grandes multinationales.
