Walking the Stream: Prague Cityscape and the Research Guided by the Water
Original language description
Walking is in a peculiar way bi-directional. Walking opens the world up for us. Simultaneously, in walking we produce places and landscapes. As a specific landscape, cityscape is a fluid space negotiated through everyday practices (of walking) as Michelde Certeau famously argued. In our research we use walking as a research tool in a similar way to psychogeographers. We walk through Prague along the stream of Rokytka, one of only few Prague brooks, which weaves its way through distinct and diverse Prague environments. In the chapter, we concentrate both (1) on walking as a research method and (2) on what walking reveals about the complexity of contemporary Prague cityscape. Being inspired by psychogeography, we walk along the stream where hardly any walking route can be found through the backstage of the city guided by the water. In doing so, we attempt to denaturalise (our own) experience of Prague as a coherent whole. Our aim is to explore the issue of consistence of the cityscape a
