Summary:
"Armchair travel may seem like an oxymoron. Doesn't 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 required--the 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. 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."--From publisher.
