Walkscapes : el andar como practica estetica = walking as an aesthetic practice / Francesco Careri ; [english translation Steve Piccolo, Paul Hammond.] - Barcelona : Ediotorial Gustavo Gili, 2005, c2002 - 203 p. : ill., maps ; 20 cm.

Bibliography: p. 193-[202].

"Walkscapes deals with strolling as an architecture of landscape. Walking as an autonomous form of art, a primary act in the symbolic transformation of the territory, an aesthetic instrument of knowledge and a physical transformation of the "negotiated" space, which is converted into an urban intervention. From primitive nomadism to Dada and Surrealism, from the Lettrist to the Situationist International, and from Minimalism to Land Art, this book narrates the perception of landscape through a history of the traversed city."
