Beskrivning
Framing walking as narrative, ritual, research practice, creative method and everyday experience, this volume explores how embodied movement shapes creativity, place-making and social and environmental relations. It examines the cultural, historical and methodological significance of movement on foot within folkloristic and ethnological research. Through innovative case studies and experimental methodologies, it demonstrates how walking generates new perspectives on tradition and lived experience across past and present contexts. As the first comprehensive engagement with walking in these fields, the collection shows how this seemingly ordinary practice offers powerful tools for understanding cultural processes and addressing pressing social and environmental challenges.

Recensioner i media

"This is an innovative, varied and thought-provoking volume, which should lead to more nuanced studies and reflections in relation to walking as praxis, method, reflexive tool and versatile lens for engaging with people, landscapes, cultural mores, the past, and perhaps even other than human beings. " — Marion Bowman, The Open University
