ABSTRACT

As a result of ethnographic research, this contribution focuses on slacklining, highlighting the cultural feature of urban escapism in a renewed relationship with nature: practitioners consider slacklining a tool for a critique of the ‘modern life’ and urban rhythm. Undertaken far from green spaces, these activities represent a discontinuity with the urban dynamics. Outdoor activities respond to the planned division between productive/reproductive activities, and they are functional in a governmental rationale of bodies and the city. This ambiguity permits slacklining to explore the outdoors encounters, highlighting how the distinction between ‘urban’ and ‘natural’ sites poses the foundation of the normativity of performances, practices, subjects. In the entanglements of the nature-urban distinction, dynamics of power and resistance take shape in a continuous production of the urban space, highlighting the creative potential and limits of outdoor activities.

作为民族志研究的结果，本文的贡献侧重于松弛，强调城市逃避主义在与自然的新关系中的文化特征：实践者认为松弛是批判“现代生活”和城市节奏的工具。这些活动远离绿色空间，代表了城市动态的不连续性。户外活动响应了生产/生殖活动之间的计划划分，并且它们在机构和城市的政府基本原理中起作用。这种模棱两可让人们在探索户外相遇时松懈，突出了“城市”和“自然”场所之间的区别如何构成表演、实践和主题的规范性基础。在自然与城市区别的纠缠中，
