ABSTRACT

In this article, I argue that parkour can be understood as a way to recapture moments of non-alienated human experience in urban space. I draw on Hartmut Rosa’s theory of temporally caused alienation and Edward Casey´s phenomenological study of place and space. Based on empirical data I describe how the practitioners aren’t indifferent to urban space, but they carry a unique material curiousness and a concrete physical presence wherever they go, thereby enabling an experience of resonance. Even though parkour, as well as other informal sports, is subjected to societal patterns of sportification, acceleration and alienation, it is a good example proving that human beings can transform, for a moment, the most alienated environment, into a place of play.

摘要

在本文中，我认为跑酷可以理解为一种重新捕捉人类在城市空间中无异动的时刻的方式。我将借鉴哈特穆特·罗莎（Hartmut Rosa）的时间造成的异化理论和爱德华·凯西（Edward Casey）对空间与空间的现象学研究。基于经验数据，我描述了从业人员对城市空间无动于衷，但是无论他们身在何处，他们都具有独特的物质好奇心和具体的身体存在，从而可以产生共鸣的体验。尽管跑酷运动以及其他非正式运动都经历了体育运动，加速和疏离的社会模式，但这是一个很好的例子，证明了人类可以暂时将最疏远的环境转变为运动场所。
