ABSTRACT
The concept of 'knowing in practice' is proposed by Pink as a way of thinking about how we might begin to experience and understand everyday life and place in a similar way to research participants. Walking as a research method for everyday life and place has come to the fore during this time. It continues to grow in popularity amongst academics and artists, and several cultural geographers have focused on walking artists' urban exploration of the city. To this end, it has been suggested that walking is not only 'fundamental to the everyday practice of social life', but also to 'much anthropological fieldwork'. The method of the flaneur was essentially to stroll and to observe - he is the 'secret spectator of the spectacle of the spaces and places of the city' and 'flanerie can be understood as the observation of the fleeting and transitory'.
