Bücher der Reihe Palgrave Studies in Movement across Education, the Arts and the Social Sciences

This book provides insights into the practice of trance-based inquiry through arts-based research, serving as a beacon to guide the way to thresholds of ancient, yet novel, transmissions.

The chapters in this collection explore sensorial qualities of place and place-making, urban spaces and places, walking as relational practice, walking as ritual, thinking photographically, the creative and narrative qualities of flaneurial walking, and issues of power, gender, and class in research practices.

This book focuses on critical walking and mapping practices through the research methodology of a/r/tography. Initially establishing seven global sites for employing movement-based research practices within culturally conceived a/r/tographic perspectives, the book builds upon and extends an international community of practice.

This book explores the relationship between the body, ecology, place, and site-specific performance. The book is situated within arts-based research, particularly within embodied inquiry and poetic inquiry. It explores a theoretical foundation for integration of these areas, primarily to share the lived experiences, poetry and dance which have come out of decades of sharing site-specific performances.
