This research is situated within a body of geographical practices that employ walking as a tool for understanding and narrating territory. In particular, the study explores the relationship between individuals and space through the experience of the river, conceived as a privileged device for reading the landscape. The investigation develops along the course of the Po di Volano, from the city of Ferrara to the Adriatic coast, through a path that combines walking and writing as complementary practices. The thesis is structured in three parts. The first part outlines the theoretical and methodological framework, focusing on walking as a geographical practice, its application within water geographies from a more-than-human perspective, and its relationship with writing. The second part, which constitutes the core of the research, presents a travel diary based on the experience of walking along the Po di Volano. The third part extends this approach into a collective dimension through the design of a workshop aimed at shared exploration and narrative production. Overall, the study proposes walking as a practice capable of reactivating forms of engagement with the territory and of producing a situated knowledge of the landscape.
Il seguente lavoro si inserisce nel solco di pratiche geografiche che utilizzano il cammino come strumento di conoscenza e narrazione del territorio. In particolare, il lavoro propone un’esplorazione del rapporto tra individuo e spazio a partire dall’esperienza del fiume, inteso come dispositivo privilegiato di lettura del paesaggio. L’indagine si sviluppa lungo il tracciato del Po di Volano, dal centro della città di Ferrara fino al mare, attraverso un percorso che combina pratica di cammino e scrittura. La ricerca si articola in tre parti. La prima definisce il quadro teorico e metodologico, approfondendo il cammino come pratica geografica, il suo impiego nelle geografie d’acqua in prospettiva more-than-human e il suo rapporto con la scrittura. La seconda parte costituisce il nucleo centrale del lavoro e presenta un diario di viaggio che restituisce l’esperienza di cammino lungo il Po di Volano. La terza parte estende questa pratica in una dimensione collettiva attraverso la progettazione di un laboratorio di esplorazione e produzione narrativa. Nel complesso, il lavoro intende sviluppare una pratica complessa in grado di riattivare forme di relazione con il territorio e di produrre una conoscenza situata del paesaggio.

Abstract
This research is situated within a body of geographical practices that employ walking as a tool for understanding and narrating territory. In particular, the study explores the relationship between individuals and space through the experience of the river, conceived as a privileged device for reading the landscape. The investigation develops along the course of the Po di Volano, from the city of Ferrara to the Adriatic coast, through a path that combines walking and writing as complementary practices. The thesis is structured in three parts. The first part outlines the theoretical and methodological framework, focusing on walking as a geographical practice, its application within water geographies from a more-than-human perspective, and its relationship with writing. The second part, which constitutes the core of the research, presents a travel diary based on the experience of walking along the Po di Volano. The third part extends this approach into a collective dimension through the design of a workshop aimed at shared exploration and narrative production. Overall, the study proposes walking as a practice capable of reactivating forms of engagement with the territory and of producing a situated knowledge of the landscape.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
