Phil, I can't say it makes me happy to hear (my, your) frustration at the void after the conference at Falmouth. I had envisioned the beginning of a dialogue but I guess time is against us, and all that time entails (making a living, sharing a living, living per se). in any case, from what you've thrown at us here, one of the things that perplexes me most is that it is not clear whether these are questions, remarks, severe thoughts pro or against...the openness and unclear situating of their wording is intriguing and resonates with my own oscillations of thought and practice with regards to walking. in particular I guess the mix between feelings and high-end theory, and the contradictions engendered and evidenced by these and the practice of walking. questions of space and time in their micro, daily, applications and also in the macro abstractions; the need to know more, to apply better, to walk more upright, not towards. the one that I can possibly say resonates fully in practice, theory and expansiveness is the one about slowing down. Again, all others seem to leave a trace of uncertainty as to what you're aiming for, why you chose the words you did, what are the source emotions that triggered them. Mystery is good; and I wish there was a better medium than email for discussing these. waves from brooklyn, bb On Wed, Jan 20, 2016 at 2:19 PM, Phil Smith <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Diversity, non-normativity and the fight against health walks. > ‘Proper geography’: a critique of the poetic, superficial and > superstitious in so called ‘exploratory walking’. > Fooled again: walking and the ‘new sublime’. > Re-enacting walks – pilgrims or ghouls? > Slowing down – walks against the current of accelerationism. > Shame: walking as a privilege when others walk by necessity. > New cartographies: strategic information or gift wrapping? > The activist’s turn towards the spatial: after Occupy and Arab Spring, > what now? > Walking in communities: the politics of conviviality, control and > estrangement. > Walking, sustainability and the Anthropocene: why are we pretending? > > FRIENDLY REMINDER: if you click REPLY to this email, you will be sending a > message to over 300 subscribers.
