"...se nse of place can be se e n as a com m onplace occurre nce , as an ordinary way of e ngaging one 's
surroundings and finding the m significant. Albe rt C am us m ay have said it be st. "Se nse of place ," he
wrote , "is not just som e thing that pe ople k now and fe e l, it is som e thing pe ople do". And that re alization

W alk scape s de als with strolling as an archite cture of landscape . W alk ing as an autonom ous form of art,

prim itive nom adism to Dada and Surre alism , from the Le ttrist to the Situationist Inte rnational, and from
Minim alism to Land Art, this book narrate s the pe rce ption of landscape through a history of the

Nige l C lark > Body & Socie ty, 1 Se pte m be r 2000, vol. 6, iss. 3

Abstract:
Notions of com ple x ity, non-line ar dynam ics and se lf-organization in the
natural scie nce s se e m to re sonate with ce rtain lite rary and social scie ntific
traditions of think ing about cosm opolitan life in a se nse that m ay be m ore
than m e re ly m e taphorical. Just as scie nce spe ak s of form s and patte rns
which com e into be ing spontane ously, unpre dictably and 'from be low', so
too is the re a re surge nt inte re st in a 'baroque ' vision of m ode rnity which
fore grounds chance e ncounte rs and 'unde rworld' associations. The paralle ls
are still stronge r if we tak e a conside r the life -world of e m bodie d
cosm opolitans as including not only othe r hum an be ings and hum an
artifacts, but also the m any non-hum an life -form s that m ak e the m se lve s
at hom e in our built e nvironm e nts, in our ne twork s, and inside our own
bodie s. C ontra the orists of risk socie ty, a fusion of com ple x ity the ory with
cosm opolitan ae sthe tics raise s the possibility of conce iving of runaway
biological and te chnological e ve nts as both cre ative and de structive .

succe ssion of m e aningful phase s from the pre scription and pe rform ance of
walk ing. O ur e thno-graphy was variously orie ntate d: active and participative

the se activitie s is supporte d by m ate rial from inte rvie ws with m e m be rs of
hill-walk ing clubs and individual walk e rs.

4. "C ulture from the Ground: W alk ing, Move m e nt and Place m ak ing" by Jo Le e
(De partm e nt of Anthropology, Unive rsity of Abe rde e n)

This pape r introduce s a study of walk ing as a m e ans of unde rstanding how
place s are constructe d through bodily m ove m e nt. It e ngage s with the
conce pts of m obility and locality in anthropology in a ve ry spe cific se nse :
not so m uch to follow the trave ls of a culture be twe e n pre -e x isting place s,
but in se e ing how the m obility of pe ople within particular e nvironm e nts
allows for the cre ation of m e aning. By walk ing, we argue , pe ople are able to
conne ct tim e s and place s through the grounde d e x pe rie nce of the ir
m ate rial e nvironm e nt. W e focus firstly on walk ing as an e le m e nt of
pe rsonal biography, a te m poral practice that is continually re -le arne d as the
physical body change s and ne w e nvironm e nts are e ncounte re d. Diffe re nce s
be twe e n le arning in infancy, adulthood and old age , and adjustm e nts in
re lation to tim e of day, se asonality and the com pany of the walk e r are
ope ne d for inve stigation. Se condly, we focus on how the role of the se nse s,
wayfinding and the m ate rial culture of walk ing are ce ntral to the
phe nom e nological unde rstanding of place and bodily e x pe rie nce . In
com m e nting on the se te m poral and spatial aspe cts of walk ing, we work
towards a the ory of hum an m ove m e nt as a social proce ss, e x plicable
ne ithe r pure ly in te rm s of the physiology of locom otion nor the
sym bolisation of the body. R athe r, we e x am ine how social action and
inte raction can be e m be dde d in the e x pe rie nce of tactile and k inae sthe tic
contact with the ground by way of the fe e t. The k inds of m obility and

Jon Ande rson > Are a (R oyal Ge ographical Socie ty) > Se pte m be r 2004, vol. 36, iss. 3

Abstract: This pape r e x plore s how unde rstandings of the k nowle dge and
live s of individuals can be gaine d through m ak ing ge ographical conte x t
m ore e x plicit within qualitative re se arch m e thods. The pape r will focus on
conve rsations in place . More particularly, it will sugge st that conve rsations
he ld whilst walk ing through a place have the pote ntial to ge ne rate a collage
of collaborative k nowle dge . Drawing on the work of C ase y, the pape r builds
upon the notion of the constitutive co-ingre die nce of place and hum an
ide ntity, and, through using docum e ntary and e m pirical e x am ple s, will
argue that talk ing whilst walk ing can harne ss place as an active trigge r to
prom pt k nowle dge re colle ction and production.

 Abstract:

Mobility and trave l have re ce ntly attracte d the inte re st of m any pe ople ,
both inside and outside ge ography. This inte re st has ofte n focuse d on
issue s of ge nde r. Mobile wom e n, in particular, have be e n se e n to be
indicative of wide r social and cultural the m e s of powe r, e x clusion, re sistance
and e m ancipation. In this pape r, I conside r the ge nde re d dim e nsions of a
m oral panic in the Unite d State s be twe e n 1869 and 1940, k nown as the
'tram p scare '. I argue that the construction of the panic around thre ats to
wom e n's bodie s and the actual e x pe rie nce of fe m ale tram ps illum inate s a
cle arly ge nde re d and e m bodie d politics of m obility.

The Tram p in Am e rica, Tim C re sswe ll

http://www.re ak tionbook s.co.uk /title s/non_tram p.htm l

This book provide s the first account of the inve ntion of the tram p as a
social type in the Unite d State s be twe e n the 1870s and the 1930s. Tim
C re sswe ll conside rs the ways in which the tram p was im agine d and
de scribe d and how, by the Se cond W orld W ar, it was be ing re classifie d and
re nde re d invisible . He de scribe s the 'tram p scare ' of the late nine te e nth
ce ntury and e x plore s the assum ption that tram ps we re invariably m ale and
the re fore a thre at to wom e n. C re sswe ll also e x am ine s tram ps as com ic
figure s and look s at the work of prom ine nt Am e rican photographe rs which
signalle d a sym pathe tic portrayal of this ofte n-de spise d group. Pe rhaps
m ost significantly, The Tram p in Am e rica calls into que stion the com m on
assum ption that m obility playe d a ce ntral role in the production of Am e rican
ide ntity.
