520 | _aWalking in the city is a recurring motif of 19th century literature. Walter Benjamin's flâneur still dominates our mental imagery. However, while strolling in the city requires observational skills, of which the flâneur remains an accomplished artist, it also engages the pedestrian's body and senses. The article seeks to reveal this sensory dimension of walking. It draws on a thematic reading of recent research from the fields of anthropology, sociology and town planning. Described as a 'technique of the body' or an 'ordinary social act', walking is also 'the instrument of composition of the city'. By walking, the pedestrian anchors himself to the city. | ||
