Motives were originally introduced by Grothendieck in the sixties to provide a universal source to various cohomology theories of algebraic, geometric and arithmetic nature. The works of Hanamura, Levine and Voevodsky in the nineties, followed by many others, have shed a new light on the subject by introducing triangulated categories of motives and relating them to a newly defined homotopy category of schemes. More recent avatars of motives include the motives with modulus of Kahn, Miyazaki, Saito and Yamazaki or the log-motives of Binda, Park and Østvær, both purposely avoiding A1-invariance.
