Walking Methods: Research on the Move

Autor Maggie O'Neill, Brian Roberts
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 iul 2019
This book introduces and critically explores walking as an innovative method for doing social research, showing how its sensate and kinaesthetic attributes facilitate connections with lived experiences, journeys and memories, communities and identities. The book situates walking methods historically, sociologically, and in relation to biographical and arts-based research, as well as new work on mobilities, the digital, spatial, and the sensory.
The book is organised into three sections: theorising; experiencing; and imagining walking as a new method for doing biographical research. There is a key focus upon the Walking Interview as a Biographical Method (WIBM) on the move to usefully explore migration, memory, and urban landscapes, as part of participatory, visual, and ethnographic research with marginalised communities and artists and as re-formative and transgressive. The book concludes with autobiographical walks taken by the authors and a discussion about the future of the walking interview as biographical method.
Walking Methods combines theory with a series of original ethnographic and participatory research examples. Practical exercises and a guide to using walking as a method help to make this a rich resource for social science researchers, students, walking artists, and biographical researchers.

Recenzii

“This superb book explores the intersections between walking and ethnography, narrative and biographic methods, visual and participatory methods. The authors’ enthusiasm is infectious and will surely inspire researchers to get walking!”
Jennifer Fleetwood, Senior Lecturer in Criminology, Goldsmiths College, UK
 
Walking Methods is an important contribution to the field of walking studies through a critical new method – the Walking Interview as a Biographical Method (WIBM). The book is comprehensive in scope, detailing the history and current iterations of ‘methods on the move’ across the arts and social sciences. WIBM is significant because it considers how people’s biographies and life stories are shaped through perambulation that takes place through various durations and movements. Rich in examples, exercises, and (auto)biographical reflections this book makes a unique contribution to walking methods.”
Stephanie Springgay, Associate Professor, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, The University of Toronto, Canada
 
“A learned, revealing and absorbing route one guide to the sociology of walking and using the self as a sociological resource. Essential.”
Chris Rojek, Professor of Sociology, City University of London, UK
 
“This book is the first complex composition of theoretical and empirical approaches to the different aspects of ‘research on the move’. Deeply inspiring for sociologists, anthropologists, psychologists, and researchers of cultural studies. The high quality pedagogue supports qualitative researchers, especially those working and representing biographical studies.”
Prof. Kaja Kaźmierska, Director of the Institute of Sociology, and Chair of the ESA Research Network 3 on Biographical Perspectives on European Societies, University of Lodz, Poland
