Abstract
This paper serves as an auto ethnography, of my own body on the move, moving me, as the research instrument/a running body, in context, in a new horizontal map of cities, a clunky poetry in motion, carrying inside it a vertical polyphony of voices, whose conversations are determined rhy(m)ezomatically by the route and the music, until my own voice joins in. It serves to represent the imaginative process experienced on a journey through place, through the historical streets of Chicago, Milan, Florence, Sydney, and Vienna in search of the renewal of my academic practice and of my own disembodied self. The voices discovered on the run are later set free to interact independently with the sitting and walking world.
