Abstract

The reflection paper proposes the definition, configuration, and specific characteristics of Essayistic Bicigraphies, drawing on the writing gesture of Michel de Montaigne and other references linked not only to the essay tradition but also to written meditation based on the bicycle, which is legible in different manifestations of Argumentative-Literary Genres. The article attempts to establish a partial cartography of Bicigraphies as expressive channels of life by bicycle and, specifically, of the most visible, but not therefore unequivocal, Essayistic Bicigraphies within the modern and contemporary literary repertoire. The aim is to encourage applied research into this class of texts and generate a dialogical space around cycle-studies in academic, cultural, and social fields.
