Produktbeschreibung

The Routledge Handbook of Mobilities explores and critically evaluates the debates and controversies inherent to this rapidly expanding discipline. This authoritative review is timely given the increasing interdisciplinary proliferation of 'mobility studies', and remarkable transformations, developments, decisions and behaviours occurring in the ways we move. It brings together leading specialists from range of disciplinary backgrounds and geographical regions to provide an authoritative and comprehensive overview of this field, conveying cutting edge research in an accessible way whilst giving detailed grounding in the evolution of past debates on mobilities, illustrating disciplinary trends and pathways, conceptual histories, and the mobilities of the past. The text is forward-thinking, and projects the future of mobilities as they might be lived, transformed and studied.

Rezensionen

"The interdisciplinary field of mobility studies has expanded exponentially over the last years as the scholars included in this invaluable handbook have transformed the discussion of technology, transportation, communication, geography, and travel in the post-colonial context of war, globalization, and urbanization. This text offers a creative yet practical approach to the dynamic subjects and objects of a world of moving parts to provide insights into the terms and concepts of mobilities today." - Caren Kaplan, Professor, American Studies, UC Davis

"...this book provides an all-encompassing collection intended to provide encyclopædic coverage of mobility, its effects, and conceptual dilemmas for the social system. One of the strengths of the collection is the discussion about the extent to which mobilities may create a new cosmology for lay people and social scientists."- Maximiliano E. Korstanje, Department of Economics, University of Palermo, published in Annals of Tourism Research
