Is it possible to rethink geography in a way that puts the relationship between migration and residence in a new light? That is, to consider movement and stasis not as two different and opposite ways of living spaces but as intertwined and “superimposed” aspects of a complex process that concerns inhabiting the Earth? Living as an ordinary experience of the world, and a world, in turn, considered as an organic ecosystem that intertwines humanity with the richness and fragility of its biodiversity - the animal, plant, and mineral world. Inhabiting the Earth in a sense where movement and mobility - walking, dancing, running, flying, sailing, moving, traveling - are no longer seen as the antithesis of pausing, stopping, taking rest, and residing but as the expressions of a “nomadic” world practice, as the authors who support the turning point of the new mobilities paradigm invite us to consider (Sheller, Urry, 2006; Cresswel, 2006; see also: Iacoli, Papotti, Peterle, Quaquarelli, 2021; Minca 2022).
E' possibile ripensare una geografia che metta sotto una nuova luce il rapporto fra mobilità e residenza? Cioè considerare il movimento e la stasi non come due diverse e opposte maniere di vivere e praticare lo spazio, ma come aspetti intrecciati e "sovrapposti" di un processo complesso che riguarda l'abitare la terra? Un abitare come esperienza ordinaria del mondo. Un mondo inteso a sua volta come un ecosistema organico che intreccia l'umanità con la ricchezza e la fragilità della sua biodiversità: quella del mondo animale, vegetale e minerale. Di un abitare la terra dove il movimento e la mobilità – camminare, danzare, correre, volare, navigare, spostarsi, viaggiare – non sono più intesi come l'antitesi di sostare, fermarsi, prendere stasi e residenza, ma l'espressione di un pensiero e di una pratica "nomade" del mondo, come ci invitano del resto a pensare anche gli autori che sostengo la svolta del new mobilties paradigm (Cheller, Urry, 2006; Cresswel, 2006; cfr. anche: Iacoli, Papotti, Peterle, Quaquarelli, 2021; Minca 2022).

Abstract
Is it possible to rethink geography in a way that puts the relationship between migration and residence in a new light? That is, to consider movement and stasis not as two different and opposite ways of living spaces but as intertwined and “superimposed” aspects of a complex process that concerns inhabiting the Earth? Living as an ordinary experience of the world, and a world, in turn, considered as an organic ecosystem that intertwines humanity with the richness and fragility of its biodiversity - the animal, plant, and mineral world. Inhabiting the Earth in a sense where movement and mobility - walking, dancing, running, flying, sailing, moving, traveling - are no longer seen as the antithesis of pausing, stopping, taking rest, and residing but as the expressions of a “nomadic” world practice, as the authors who support the turning point of the new mobilities paradigm invite us to consider (Sheller, Urry, 2006; Cresswel, 2006; see also: Iacoli, Papotti, Peterle, Quaquarelli, 2021; Minca 2022).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
