Description
Sideways, Belgium, 2012
Softcover, 18 x 11.5 cm, unpaginated (ca. 50 pages). Text in English.
Produced as part of Sideways, a festival in Belgium exploring issues of journeying and environmental praxis,
Handbook for the Itinerant acts as a device for conditioning the steps of the reader. The book is developed as a writing-journey, full of associative texts and documents that together uncover the step as a feverish and complex event. Comprised of reflections and meditations on the poetics of walking, daily encounters, foreignness, the politics of mobility, mythologies of the road, histories of tramps and global migration, LaBelle’s work opens up multiple perspectives on what it means to go from place to place.
A very good copy.
