Symbols and Reality in Walking

In this paper, I consider the pedagogical transformations generated by walkingWalkwalking. From the perspectivesPerspective of semioticsSemiotic and realism, I focus on the entanglement of being while walking and argue that walking is an activity that produces ontologicalOntological knowledgeKnowledge in rhizomatic practices. I will first explain the entanglement of being while walking. Walking is a mappingMap/mapping practice as an act of walking creates relations with the surrounding environment. Here, I show that walking is a movementMovemovement in a qualitative field where symbols and realityReality/realities inextricably influence one another. Next, I describe the activity of knowledgeKnowledge creation from a neutral standpoint of symbols and realitiesReality/realities with the idea of creating a fiction. The idea of fiction here is that by creating it, one makes a ‘world’ and forms a subject at the same time. The conclusion is that walking is a form of makingMaking fiction, a processProcess of creating differences from fixed meanings and a heuristic way of creating and imagining new relationships. Through this processProcess, one is constantly generating the world as a new living inquiryLivingliving inquiry.
