Shaping Space and Mobilities in Contemporary Walking Narratives represents an exploration of the dynamic intersections between mobility, space, and literature. By focusing on walking as both a practice and a narrative device, the book illustrates how mobilities shape and reconfigure our experiences of space. Drawing from both literary and interdisciplinary approaches, the contributors engage with diverse themes, including urban flânerie, rural wanderings, migration, and queer spatialities. The research presented here shows how literary discourse mediates and constructs human relationships with space and place. Addressing with key theoretical movements such as the narrative, spatial, and mobilities turns, this book contributes to the recent humanities turn by advancing discussions within mobility studies, particularly in French and Italian contexts.
