Walking: A Sociological Field Guide (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781526184900)

Going for a walk with twenty sociologists, this collection is a playful rendition of the social worlds that we move in and through. From city streets to coastlines, along riverbanks and through street markets, alone and together, each walk blurs descriptive, poetic and theoretical observations and insights to reveal the worlds we live in afresh. Attending to the politics and poetics of walking and place, the collection challenges the taken for granted privileges of mobility, highlights the ways in which walking is embodied and situated, and shows how social life unfolds in and through spaces. Learning on and from the streets, tracing footprints, and attending to rhythms, these walks map sociological thought, and carve new paths in the terrain of the sociological imagination.
