Practicing More-Than-Human Walks

Walking contributes to producing space.Yet, walking 'more-than-human' geographies suggests that walking as a research method is also a more-than-human affair.Building on theories of hybrid and more-than-human geographies, this article provides theoretical and practical reflections upon walking as method in the context of more-than-human relations.Specifically, we narrate two experiments with 'more-than-human walks,' highlighting the importance of walking approach, posture, and attention.To do so, we provide a curation of our walking practice, which consists of two short walks-the first in Cork, Ireland and the second in Charleroi, Belgiumwhich orients these walks towards mobility, trajectory, and encounter.As a form of practice, this description and analysis aims to pinpoint conceptual and practical challenges for practicing morethan-human walks, which raise questions about how to account for, 'inherit,' perform, expose, or build from the more-than-human in walking methods.As a curation, this description aims to provide a heuristic intervention for uncovering embedded more-than-human entanglements that occur between walkers and the multiple layers of more-than-human trajectories that co-create places.
