<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nSouvent les plantes qui poussent spontan\u00e9ment dans les rues des grandes villes sont devenues cosmopolites. Ces \u00e9tranges famili\u00e8res-\u00e9trang\u00e8res, fr\u00e9quemment consid\u00e9r\u00e9es comme impropres, nous envahissent-elles ou bien est-ce nous qui les avons envahies ? Pour herboriser, prendre en compte les autres \u2013 qui ne sont pas de notre esp\u00e8ce \u2013 il faut n\u00e9c\u00e9ssairement ralentir, se promener et observer \u00e0 petit pas. Apr\u00e8s un s\u00e9jour dans la m\u00e9gapole new-yorkaise \u00e0 arpenter Brooklyn o\u00f9 les plantes spontan\u00e9es s\u2019accoquinaient avec les d\u00e9chets, ralentir \u00e0 Rome \u00e9tait devenue une \u00e9vidence, tant la ville s\u2019ancre dans l\u2019histoire des fondations de notre civilisation occidentale. Du Tree of Heaven au Saxifrage \u00e0 trois doigts, des pentes inconstructibles aux pens\u00e9es \u00e9mergentes du Tibre, des murs en pentes aux pentes emmur\u00e9es, l\u2019\u00e9vidence sautait aux yeux: m\u00eame si certaines esp\u00e8ces \u00e9taient les m\u00eames, ce n\u2019\u00e9tait pas pareil. La nature est une \u00e9tranget\u00e9, mais que veut dire \u00eatre naturelle ? Au-del\u00e0 de la ressemblance, il fallait tenter d\u2019apprendre de la diff\u00e9rence, une diff\u00e9rence pouvant faire la diff\u00e9rence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ce nouvel ouvrage m\u00eale aux photographies et dessins de plantes spontan\u00e9es de new-york et rome, des pens\u00e9es et des promenades \u00e0 herboriser, nourries de textes inspir\u00e9s par les rencontres avec des botanistes et par ses lectures. Noy\u00e9es par les flots d'informations, les pens\u00e9es s\u2019enchev\u00eatrent autour de l\u2019impossibilit\u00e9 de repr\u00e9senter clairement ce qui est naturel.

Often plants that grow spontaneously in big cities streets have become cosmopolitan. Are these strange familiar-aliens, frequently considered improper, invading us, or have we invaded them? To botanise, to take into account the others,others \u2013 who are nonhuman species \u2013 it is necessary to slow down, to walk around and to observe by small steps. After a sojourn in the New York megalopolis, where spontaneous plants were clinging to the waste, slowing down in Rome became an obvious choice, as the city is so deeply rooted in the history of the foundations of our Western civilisation. From the tree of heaven to the rue-leaved saxifrage, from the unbuildable slopes to the emerging thoughts of the Tiber, from the sloping walls to the walled slopes, the obvious was clear to see: even if some species were the same, it was not the same. Nature is a strangeness, but what does it mean to be natural? Beyond resemblance, it was necessary to try to learn from difference, a difference can make the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This new book by Lise Duclaux mixes photographs and drawings of spontaneous plants from New York and Rome with thoughts and walks to botanise, inspired by meetings with botanists and by her readings. Drowned by the flood of information, the thoughts are entangled around the impossibility of clearly representing what is natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
