Condizione: New.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The focus of this book is not to provide a walking guide or a history of walking. Neither is it about the practical, functional or therapeutic nature of walking. The Book of Walking Dangerously investigates the kind of walking that is a by-product of something leisurely that entails a high and often unintended degree of possible risk. It sets out to map the ways in which the imagination is shaped by danger and the kinds of ecstasy, meaning and freedom it ignites. It is about introspection, the act of looking inward and exploring new thoughts and feelings. As a result, it is an important means of entering worlds where other things are made possible. Kevin Bingham's point, in a nutshell, is that people can have a fulfilling leisure life through danger if they are willing to deal with the delicate art of disagreeableness. A response to the drudgery of everyday life, this book juxtaposes the view that walking is mindful against the idea of the liberating pleasure of doing it dangerously. It blends leisure studies, sociology, philosophy, and geography and leisure studies. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The Book of Walking Dangerously differs from other walking books because it is, from beginning to end, about displeasure and the disagreeable. Employing Jean-Francois Lyotard's concept of paralogy - a means of recognizing there can be different logic to life that other scholars ignore or do not understand - the book is an exploration of the value of bleakness, suffering, darkness and even death. Seeing and living through such things, it is argued, is to be baptized into a richer and more deeply felt relationship with walking. Drawing inspiration from Raphael Samuel's view that history (and memory) is a dynamic process, the seven chapters present a theatre of memory consisting of lived, first-hand experiences in rural, urban and underground settings. Each chapter involves liminal passage, a shift from perceived certainty and comfort into chaos and danger as ruptures in everyday life are encountered. With a sense of adventure driving it, this book invites readers to come along on a journey that exists somewhere between the real, the reconstructed and the phantastic. Blending leisure studies, sociology, philosophy and geography, this book will appeal to researchers who are interested in the hidden dimensions and transformative power of spaces. A response to the drudgery of everyday life, this book juxtaposes the view that walking is mindful against the idea of the liberating pleasure of doing it dangerously.
