Overview

Can walking be considered politically relevant? And in what sense can we talk about the walking practice as a political one? Starting from a political-philosophical perspective, the aim of this talk is to lay the foundations for a political theory of walking that passes through a rooting of practice in the spatial and experiential dimensions; and that understands walking in the framework of everyday life. In this talk we will attempt to explore the ineliminable relationship between the practice of walking, body and space, claiming that walking always consist of, in fact, walking a space.
