Este libro narra una historia de la percepci???n del paisaje a trav???s del acto de caminar: del nomadismo primitivo a las vanguardias art???sticas de principios siglo XX, de la Internacional Letrista a la Internacional Situacionista, del minimalismo al land art, Francesco Careri repasa algunas de las propuestas hist???ricas que han concebido el acto de deambular no s???lo como una herramienta de configuraci???n del paisaje, sino como una forma de arte aut???noma, un instrumento est???tico de conocimiento y modificaci???n f???sica del espacio atravesado que pasa a convertirse en intervenci???n urbana. Esta nueva edici???n actualizada del cl???sico de Careri incorpora un ep???logo del propio autor donde hace un balance de la trayectoria del libro desde que fuera publicado por primera vez en 2002.
