Synopsis "Elogio del Caminar (in Spanish)"

«Un emocionante breviario sobre una manera de estar y comportarse en el mundo. Un catecismo laico para caminar, para no dejar nunca de pensar en medio de este mundo ruidoso y automatizado». César A. Molina, ABC Cultural «Delicioso tratado de lo que sucede cuando a un pie le sigue el otro, y al otro le sigue una idea, y a la idea, un pensamiento, y al pensamiento, una reflexión». Heraldo de Aragón Caminar es una evasión de la modernidad, una forma de burlarse de ella, de dejarla plantada, un atajo en el ritmo desenfrenado de nuestra vida y un modo de distanciarse, de aguzar los sentidos.   David Le Breton mezcla en Elogio del caminar a Pierre Sansot y a Patrick Leigh Fermor, pero también hace que Bashô y Stevenson dialoguen sin preocuparse por el rigor histórico, pues el propósito de este exquisito libro no radica ahí, se trata solamente de caminar juntos, de intercambiar impresiones, como si estuviéramos en torno a una mesa en un albergue al borde del camino, por la tarde, cuando el cansancio y el vino nos hacen hablar.;

David Le Breton (Le Mans, France, 1953) is a prominent French sociologist and anthropologist, known for his deep exploration of human corporeality and its relationship with society and culture. He is a professor at the University of Strasbourg and a member of the University Institute of France.

His work covers topics such as pain, silence, the face, walking, and risk behaviors, with a particular focus on the experience of the body in modernity. Le Breton has written more than 20 books, many of which have been translated into various languages. Among his most influential titles are Anthropology of the Body and Modernity, The Sociology of the Body, Silence, Anthropology of Pain, and In Praise of Walking.

In his studies, Le Breton argues that "we do not have a body, we are our body," highlighting the importance of corporeality as a constitutive element of identity and human experience. Additionally, he has critically addressed the impact of technology and social networks on the perception of the body and mental health, warning about the risks of a "seated humanity" that reduces the joy of living.
Science and Technology Resource

His interdisciplinary approach and his ability to connect anthropology with philosophical and social reflection have established David Le Breton as a key figure in contemporary studies on the body and subjectivity.
