Description
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.
