Book description
Walking is a cognitive and creative act that can symbolically and physically transform space. This book narrates the history of the perception of landscapes through the act of walking, from primitive nomadism to the artistic vanguard of the early 20th century, including the Letterist International, Situationist International, minimalism, and land art. Francesco Careri outlines some of the historical movements that have considered walking as a form of autonomous art, an aesthetic tool, and a way of physically modifying space. This new updated edition includes an epilogue by the author. El andar es un acto cognitivo y creativo capaz de transformar simbólica y físicamente tanto el espacio natural como el antrópico. Este libro narra una historia de la percepción del paisaje a través del acto de caminar: del nomadismo primitivo a las vanguardias artísticas de principios siglo XX, de la Internacional Letrista a la Internacional Situacionista, del minimalismo al land art, Francesco Careri repasa algunas de las propuestas históricas que han concebido el acto de deambular no sólo como una herramienta de configuración del paisaje, sino como una forma de arte autónoma, un instrumento estético de conocimiento y modificación física del espacio atravesado que pasa a convertirse en intervención urbana. Esta nueva edición actualizada del clásico de Careri incorpora un epílogo del propio autor donde hace un balance de la trayectoria del libro desde que fuera publicado por primera vez en 2002.
