Walking in the City as an Experienced Practice
Przeglad Socjologii Jakosciowej December 7, 2023 Krzysztof T. Konecki 5 citations
Walking in the city generates a distinctive minding process, a pathic dimension involving mood, lived-body feelings, lived relations, and reflections on life and self. Based on self-observation and self-reporting of thoughts, body feelings, and emotions during walks, the paper describes these essential features of the walking phenomenon. The authors suggest that walking fosters a contemplative engagement with the urban environment, shaping emotional and bodily experiences.
