Taylor & Francis Ltd Walking In Cities : Navigating Post-Pandemic Urban Environments

This book brings together an international group of artists and writers to respond to the question of how our new world orders force us to reconsider urban walking and urban spaces in ways which extend into the digital sphere of online dialogue and screen sharing.In their reflections on walking cities in lockdown, the artists and writers contributing to this book share a number of complementary themes.Key to this is the question of how we walk in post-pandemic cities and how such walking might motivate or be motivated by transgressive, atomised or collective thoughts, affects, relations and experiences.Here we see how navigating cities in lockdown requires us to re-territorialise, improvise, create and de- or re-politize.There is, for example, a clear distinction between the severe lockdown measures that were introduced in Cape Town and the liberal appeal to good citizenship that northern hemisphere cities such as Stockholm chose to rely on.These measures impact on the way we experience urban walking and, in each case, lead to deeper reflections about the heightened presence of ideological structures embedded within the urban.
