The concept aesthetic practice offers a novel perspective on philosophical aesthetics by shifting the focus from objects and singular experiences to ongoing, repeatedly performed activities. Practice highlights the aesthetic relevance of doing and making, temporality, continuity, multimodality and intersubjectivity. Aesthetic practices can be, for example, engagement with the arts, popular culture, craft, sports and games, or some aspect of one’s everyday environment where a fundamental motivating factor is pleasure gained through the activity.

Fifty years ago, in 1974, the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU} started its jurisprudential activity in the field of sport when it stated that sport, as an economic activity, falls under the scope of EU law. The recent ruling in the case of the Superleague means a new step in consolidating a real sports doctrine by the Court. Considering media noise around the ruling and its political connotation,it is a good opportunity to reflect on the interdependence of media and sport: Can professional sports keep their own identity, or is it going to become a mere sub-category of audiovisual products?

This session is interested in walking further, both in terms of considering the potential of increasing notions of ‘walkable’ and investigating the practices of long(er) distance walking. As such, we welcome papers taking an empirical, theoretical, analytical, conceptual, creative or applied approach to the topic of long-distance walking and walking distance. We also encourage contributions that engage with long-distance walking in varied contexts, including transport, tourism, leisure, sport, spirituality, pilgrimage, urban design, and cultural and literary history.
