Visiting the inhabited place: perspective on living and the rhythm of walking in the city

Abstract

This article addresses the issue of walking. It delves into the elements of inhabiting the city and the rhythm in it, the latter is directed in two ways: the rhythm of the music and the pace that the subjects have when walking. For the development of the proposal, in situ observation of what happens on Avenida Central de San José was used and what was observed was contrasted with psychoanalytic theory, as well as with contributions from authors such as Le Breton (2022) about walking, who were considered relevant for this analysis. It was found that, in the act of taking walks, different emotions and the desire of the person who walks participate. It was evident that each subject walks differently, since he has different experiences that affect his pace/rhythm, that is, the way he moves and inhabits places.
