Aprašymas

Walking, Landscape and Environment explores walking as a method of research and practice in the humanities and creative arts, emerging from a recent surge of growth in urban and rural walking. This edited collection of essays from leading international figures in the field presents an enquiry into, and a critique of, the methods and results of cutting-edge 'walking research'. Walking negotiates the intersections between the human self, place and space, offering a cross-disciplinary collaborative method of research which can be utilised in areas such as ecocriticism, landscape architecture, literature, cultural geography and the visual arts. Bringing together a multitude of perspectives from different disciplines, on topics including health and wellbeing, social justice, ecology and gender, this book provides a unique appraisal of the humanist perspective on landscape and challenges romantic approaches to walking, applying new ideas in contemporary critical thought and offering alternative perspectives on embodiment and trans-corporeality.
