  Recreational Wayfaring in the Mountains

  Journal of Alpine Resarch

  The detour figure is at the heart of the meaning of recreational wayfaring. Spatial detour above all else, in the uncertainty undergone or sought for the path to follow, but also sociocultural, and existential. Expression of sensory preferences for a practice environment, experiments of all kinds, adoption of a frugal lifestyle, humanitarian wayfaring ... recreational wayfaring is a cultural practice. On the existential level, wayfaring can be transformed into an initiatory path, with the emergence of a personal goal, of transformation of oneself and identification of one's new place in society. Recreational wayfaring in the mountains was mainly addressed in its socio-cultural dimension with, on the one hand, studies on its management and, on the other hand, on specific practices. This special issue of Journal of Alpine Resarch aims to better structure and enrich the field of study of recreational wayfaring in the mountains from the point of view of actors and practitioners, particularly by mobilizing the figure of the detour.

  What legacy in terms of brand image do Olympic host or candidate cities enjoy?

  The Olympic and Para-Olympic Games and their legacy

  Les contributions peuvent venir des spécialistes de l’image des territoires et du place branding qui peuvent s’emparer de l’objet olympique. Comment les théories qui concernent l’image des territoires peuvent-elles s’appliquer à un tel objet si puissant médiatiquement ? Quelles métropoles ont besoin des Jeux Olympiques et Paraolympiques (JOP) pour renforcer l’image, la moderniser, la modifier, la structurer… De même, les spécialistes des Olympiades ou des méga-évènements peuvent, dans cette session, proposer une approche plus nomothétique en matière d’héritage associée à l’image. Les approches comparatives et multidisciplinaires sont les bienvenues.
