Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Armchair Travel May Seem Like An Oxymoron. Doesnt Travel Require Us To Leave The House? And Yet, Anyone Who Has Lost Herself For Hours In The Descriptive Pages Of A Novel Or The Absorbing Images Of A Film Knows The Very Real Feeling Of Having Explored And Experienced A Different Place Or Time Without Ever Leaving Her Seat. No Passport, No Currency, No Security Screening Requiredthe Luxury Of Armchair Travel Is Accessible To Us All. In Traveling In Place, Bernd Stiegler Celebrates This Convenient, Magical Means Of Transport In All Its Many Forms.Organized Into Twentyone Legsor Short Chapterstraveling In Place Begins With A Consideration Of Xavier De Maistres 1794 Voyage Autour De Ma Chambre, An Account Of The Fortytwoday Journey Around His Room Maistre Undertook As A Way To Entertain Himself While Under House Arrest. Stiegler Is Fascinated By The Notion Of Exploring The Familiar As Though It Were Completely New And Strange. He Engages Writers As Diverse As Roussel, Beckett, Perec, Robbegrillet, Cortzar, Kierkegaard, And Borges, All Of Whom Show How The Everyday Can Be Brilliantly Transformed. Like The Best Guidebooks, Traveling In Place Is More Interested In The Idea Of Travel As A State Of Mind Than As A Physical Activity, And Stiegler Reflects On The Different Ways That Traveling At Home Have Manifested Themselves In The Modern Era, From Literature And Film To The Virtual Possibilities Of The Internet, Blogs, And Contemporary Art.Reminiscent Of The Pictorial Meditations Of Sebald, But Possessed Of The Intellectual Playfulness Of Calvino, Traveling In Place Offers An Entertaining And Creative Baedeker To Journeying At Home.
