Don Gill Don Gill – Walking

The blog at dongillwalking.blogspot.com documents a range of walking routes primarily in Ireland, featuring detailed accounts of hikes, countryside walks, and coastal paths. The content is organized around individual walks, often with maps, photographs, and descriptions of the terrain, landmarks, and natural features encountered. Emphasis is placed on the geographical and cultural context of each route, including historical and environmental notes that enrich the understanding of the landscape. The blog also explores lesser-known trails and rural areas, providing insights into Ireland’s diverse topography, from mountainous regions to coastal shorelines. Through its detailed commentary and visual documentation, the blog serves as a resource that captures both the physical experience of walking these paths and the broader cultural geography of the areas covered. The writing reflects an engaged, informed perspective on Ireland’s walking opportunities without commercial intent.

pedestrian acts

By de Certeau: In “Walking in the City”, de Certeau conceives pedestrianism as a practice that is performed in the public space, whose architecture and behavioural habits substantially determine the way we walk. For de Certeau, the spatial order “organises an ensemble of possibilities (e.g. by a place in which one can move) and interdictions (e.g. by a wall that prevents one from going further)” and the walker “actualises some of these possibilities” by performing within its rules and limitations. “In that way,” says de Certeau, “he makes them exist as well as emerge.” Thus, pedestrians, as they walk conforming to the possibilities that are brought about by the spatial order of the city, constantly repeat and re-produce that spatial order, in a way ensuring its continuity. But, a pedestrian could also invent other possibilities. According to de Certeau, “the crossing, drifting away, or improvisation of walking privilege, transform or abandon spatial elements.” Hence, the pedestrians could, to a certain extent, elude the discipline of the spatial order of the city. Instead of repeating and re-producing the possibilities that are allowed, they can deviate, digress, drift away, depart, contravene, disrupt, subvert, or resist them. These acts, as he calls them, are pedestrian acts.
