The Floating Village

By Jean Griffet
English

Between land and open sea the floating village developed in the course of the 20th century as the result of the expansion of water-based recreational activities. Breaking with moral, physical and social norms it combines the experience of wild nature with the pleasure of being together and with a partial return to a more traditional economy. From published sources and anonymous accounts this breaking with the ways of perception and action appears to be a non linear process in which personal experience and the various images it generates represent a particularly active factor.
