Original Abstract

Walking is as much a cultural practice as it is an embodied experience. The contributions of this book highlight the interrelations of bodies, knowledges, places, affects, and other materialities through the lenses of phenomenological, artistic, and methodological approaches. In the contributions, walking is addressed as a relational practice situated in specific landscapes; it connects different cultural practices, has material-semiotic performativity, and is always an act of interweaving (geopolitical) territories and borders. This book brings together written and visual contributions by social scientists as well as artists for a vivid spectral perspective on the phenomenon of walking.
