The dossier Space–Body–Movement proposes to investigate the multiple relationships between spatiality, corporeity, and movement as inseparable dimensions of the contemporary experience of the world.
Rather than isolated categories, space, body, and movement are understood here as co-constitutive fields in which social practices, infrastructures, landscapes, and subjectivities emerge in constant transformation.

The dossier Space–Body–Movement proposes to investigate the multiple relationships between spatiality, corporeity, and movement as inseparable dimensions of the contemporary experience of the world.
Rather than isolated categories, space, body, and movement are understood here as co-constitutive fields in which social practices, infrastructures, landscapes, and subjectivities emerge in constant transformation.
In a context marked by global flows, forced and voluntary mobilities, environmental transformations, and accelerated urban reconfigurations, space is no longer understood as a static support but as a lived process; the body, in turn, appears as a sensitive and political operator of the territory; and movement emerges both as physical displacement and as a social, ecological, and symbolic becoming.
The dossier seeks contributions that investigate, among other aspects:
- relationships between body and territory in contemporary cities;
- transition zones and landscapes in transformation;
- mobility, nomadism, and urban micro-territorialities;
- insurgent spatial practices and ways of inhabiting the "in-between";
- relational ecologies and interdependence between humans and environments;
- art, image, and visual experimentations as spatial thought;
- politics of movement, migration, and the right to the city;
- experimental methodologies articulating the creative-body and public art.
We are particularly interested in works that address space as an embodied and dynamic experience, exploring interdisciplinary approaches between architecture, urbanism, geography, visual arts, philosophy, anthropology, environmental studies, and curatorial practices.
By gathering theoretical research, visual essays, and empirical investigations, this issue aims to discuss how bodies produce space through movement—and how spaces, in turn, modulate forms of life, perception, and political imagination.
