Homo Horizontalis
Ascesi fisiche e ascese alpinistiche
- Edited by:
- Mirko Alagna,
- Sara Benvenuti,
- Giovanna Lo Monaco,
Homo Horizontalis proposes a new perspective on Alpinism, emphasizing horizontality alongside verticality to rethink risk, skill, and experience. The book examines Alpinism through philosophy, literature, law, history, exploring its evolving meanings, ethical stakes, and cultural significance. It situates physical practices – both traditional alpinism and contemporary exercises – within broader transformations of subjectivity, risk, and self-discipline, highlighting their role as laboratories for understanding human agency, attention, and freedom in modern life. Appendices provide systematic bibliographic and legal frameworks, reinforcing the text’s interdisciplinary approach.
