Vandringer i mørket: Hvad man ser når solen ikke forstyrrer

This article explores the experience of walking in darkness. Based on a conceptual distinction between darkness as experientially symbiotic and antagonistic in relation to light, and Tim Ingold’s phenomenological theory on walking, the article analyzes the experience of a guided tour in a dark resort in Denmark. The tour provided an experience of non-transcendent merging between self and surroundings, which illustrated and intensified the experience of walking as a practice of embedded knowing outlined by Ingold. But this was but one of several different experiences of darkness during the tour. An experiental fluctuation that is ascribed to the contextual and temporal aspects of walking and the staging of the walking tour as event.
