Les hommes, pensait Kant, sont a la fois pousses a s'associer et enclins a s'isoler. Cette contradiction explique leur occupation de l'espace dans le temps : concentrations de populations, circulations de migrants et, entre les deux, constructions de labyrinthes. Cette geometrie sociale est representee ici dans ses fondements (brisures de symetries, fractales, fractions continues), dans ses representations (mythes platoniciens, utopies urbaines, romans de Kafka) et dans ses objets (mariages, invasions, migrations). Ce livre est un manifeste pour les sciences sociales que l'on dit en crise au moment ou elles n'auront jamais ete aussi efficaces contre les prejuges qui alimentent nos craintes, sur le risque d'"invasion" ou pour l'existence d'une "population de souche"... Herve Le Bras, polytechnicien, demographe, est directeur d'etudes a l'Ecole des hautes etudes en . Il a publie notamment Les Trois France.

"This book studies the origins and development of population geography as a discipline. It explores the key concepts, tools, and statistical and demographic techniques that are widely employed in the analysis of population. The chapters in this book: Provide a comprehensive geographical account of population attributes in the world, with a particular focus on India; Study the three major components of population change -- fertility, mortality, and migration -- that have remained somewhat neglected in the study of human geography so far; Examine the salient social, demographic, and economic characteristics of population, along with topics such as size, distribution and growth of population; Discuss major population theories, policies, and population-development-environment interrelations, thus marking a significant departure from the traditional pattern-oriented approach. Well supplemented with figures, maps, and tables, this key text will be an indispensable read for students, researchers and teachers of human geography, demography, anthropology, sociology, economics, and population studies"--
