Edited by Lea Maria Spahn

A reader on the relational practice of walking through landscapes.

Walking is as much a cultural practice as it is an embodied experience. The contributions in Walking as Embodied Worldmaking: Bodies, Borders, Knowledgescapes 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.
