Synopsis

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.

À propos de l'auteur

Kevin P. Bingham is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the School of Sport and Exercise at the University of Lincoln and a Lecturer in Sport and Esport at Barnsley College University Centre. An interdisciplinary researcher, he specialised in leisure studies, sport and cultural studies. His work explores pursuits such as urban exploration, caving and walking, as well as doping behaviours in elite and recreational sports. The bulk of his research focuses on the hidden dimensions and transformative power of spaces that are difficult to reach and access. Seeking to understand leisure worlds in rich depth, Kevin uses storytelling and creative writing to explore the indeterminate realities of drifting performers, artists of sublimation and pursuers of discomfort, displeasure and strangeness.
