Christian Ernsten co-published an edited volume on walking methodologies in the arts, humanities, and social sciences.
Walking as Embodied Research. Drift, Pause, Indirection explores walking as a form of embodied research practice that offers fresh perspectives on key contemporary debates. These include the climate emergency, the Anthropocene, decolonial thinking and the struggle for social justice, and feminist and queer walking methodologies. Contributions to this volume are by scholars, artists and practitioners drawn from a wide range of disciplines and fields, and from across the Global South and North. An overarching theme of the volume is the manner in which the act of walking brings the body into presence as a material part of the research process, and the forms of attentiveness that this encourages.
Contributors to this volume were, amongst others, walking artists Jan Rothuizen, Dirk-Jan Visser and Marjolijn Boterenbrood, walking anthropoligists as Jo Vergunst and Annemarie Mol, walking as archaeologists as Cristobal Gnecco and Christopher Witmore and many others.
