Abstract

Is it possible to rethink geography in a way that puts the relationship between migration and residence in a new light? That is, to consider movement and stasis not as two different and opposite ways of living spaces but as intertwined and “superimposed” aspects of a complex process that concerns inhabiting the Earth? Living as an ordinary experience of the world, and a world, in turn, considered as an organic ecosystem that intertwines humanity with the richness and fragility of its biodiversity - the animal, plant, and mineral world. Inhabiting the Earth in a sense where movement and mobility - walking, dancing, running, flying, sailing, moving, traveling - are no longer seen as the antithesis of pausing, stopping, taking rest, and residing but as the expressions of a “nomadic” world practice, as the authors who support the turning point of the new mobilities paradigm invite us to consider (Sheller, Urry, 2006; Cresswel, 2006; see also: Iacoli, Papotti, Peterle, Quaquarelli, 2021; Minca 2022).
