Walking as Embodied Worldmaking

Walking is as much a cultural practice as it is an embodied experience. The contributions in this book highlight the interrelations between bodies, knowledges, places, affects, and other materialities through phenomenological, artistic, and methodological lenses. Walking is explored as a relational practice situated in specific landscapes—it connects different cultural practices, holds material-semiotic performativity, and always involves an interweaving of (geo)political territories and borders. This book brings together written and visual contributions from social scientists and artists, offering a vibrant and multifaceted perspective on the phenomenon of walking.
