"This book argues that we should regard walking and talking in a single rhythmic vision. In doing so, it contributes to the theory of prosody, our understanding of respiration and looking, and, in sum, to the particular links, across the board, between the human characteristics of bipedal walking and meaningful talk. The author first introduces the philosophical, neurological, anthropological, and aesthetic aspects of the subject in historical perspective, then focuses on rhetoric and introduces a tension between the small and large issues of rhythm. He thereupon turns his attention to the roles of breathing in poetry--as a life-and-death matter, with attention to beats and walking poems. This opens onto technical concepts from the classical traditions of rhetoric and philology. Turning to the relationship between prosody and motion, he considers both animals and human beings as both ostensibly able-bodied creatures and presumptively disabled ones. Finally, he looks at dancing and writing as aspects of walking and talking, with special attention to motion in Arabic and Chinese calligraphy. The final chapters of the book provide a series of interrelated representative case studies"--

Le parcours du promeneur qui se laisse aller aux flâneries les plus diverses, ouvert à la jouissance du monde, est de fait une pratique très culturelle. J'ai voulu aborder l'histoire de la promenade comme phénomène social. Si elle est une forme élevée de la conversation et de la pensée chez Platon et Montaigne, elle est aussi un paradigme de la mondanité, avec ses règles, ses temps, ses sites et ses rites. Différents aspects de la promenade sont abordés chez Pétrarque, Crébillon, Rousseau, Goethe, Stendhal, Balzac, Baudelaire, Robert Walser et bien d'autres pour comprendre son histoire, son évolution et ses constantes. Même la promenade solitaire dans la nature continue de nous parler des rapports de l'homme à la société. C'est cet aspect que nous privilégions dans le cadre d'une sociopoétique qui étudie l'inscription dans l'écriture des représentations et de l'imaginaire des interactions. De la promenade mondaine à la promenade comme égarement du coeur et de l'esprit, des flâneries et promenades urbaines à la déambulation archéologique, de la nostalgie de la nature au plaisir du retour chez soi, entre solitude et communauté, la promenade reste un moment privilégié de l'existence. (Alain Montandon)
