This study seeks to explore the interpretations of walking in the book "Palestinian Walks" by the Palestinian author Raja Shehadeh. It considers walking as an act that transcends the boundaries of pure physiological activity to become a generative source of ideas and a productive act of meaning. Within this framework, the study establishes a conceptual framework that distinguishes between what walking signifies, meaning that it goes beyond the act of walking in the Palestinian hills to convey the author's conception of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and what it structurates, meaning that it structures the imaginative space for communication in the author's mind.

            The study arrives at several conclusions, demonstrating that personal experience has a decisive impact on generating meaning from the action. The ultimate signification derived from Shehadeh's act of walking is political reality.
