Graffiti and street art research (GSAR) has become more acknowledged within the academic discourse; however, it has much to gain from theorising its methodological aspects. As a multidisciplinary field, GSAR has mostly used qualitative research methods, exploring urban space through methods that range from visual recordings to ethnography, emphasising the researchers’ reflexivity. This qualitative approach has, however, paid little attention to the role of embodied practices. In this paper we discuss how embodied methodologies provide multisensory research results where the experienced moments, the participant’s and researcher’s senses, cognition and mobility in urban spaces are connected. Our discussion draws on the authors’ fieldwork experiences of walking and edge working, and on the literature concerning embodiment and embodied methodology related to the context of GSAR.

涂鸦和街头艺术研究 (GSAR) 在学术话语中得到了越来越多的认可；然而，它从方法论方面的理论化中获益良多。作为一个多学科领域，GSAR 主要使用定性研究方法，通过从视觉记录到人种学的方法探索城市空间，强调研究人员的反思性。然而，这种定性方法很少关注具体实践的作用。在本文中，我们讨论了具体方法如何提供多感官研究结果，其中体验的时刻、参与者和研究人员的感官、城市空间中的认知和流动性是相互关联的。我们的讨论借鉴了作者在步行和边缘工作方面的实地工作经验，
