Hybrid Mobilities
«
"This book convincingly shows us why a mobility lens is crucial to understanding nation-states, cities, territories, neighbourhoods, homes and other spatial formations. Highly relevant in an age gripped by the contentious politics around borders and mobilities."
Professor Brenda Yeo, National University of Singapore
"An edited collection that takes seriously the dialectical relationship between mobility and place through a vivid and diverse set of examples and approaches - through Marrakesh to Mexico City, from homes and heritage, to mobile and migrant subjects arriving, being driven, some stranded in-transit, in domestic labour, others leaving and tourists leaving things behind. Cattan and Faret have curated a series of wonderful entries sensitive to context, place, vehicle, and experience; to gendered and raced differentiations of mobility that condense around the material nuclei of mobility and stasis and stasis in mobility, in intimate practices, alternative belongings, policy formations and the spaces between them. A terrific and inspiring collection."
Professor Peter Adey, Royal Holloway University of London

Diverse factors like globalization, geopolitical tensions, and the transformation of lifestyles are strengthening the role of mobility as a structuring dimension of contemporary societies. Social-science research has taken note of these changes, but few studies cross the different forms of mobility, ranging from commuting to tourists and backpackers, and on to seasonal workers or international migrants. Les mer
By using an interdisciplinary relational approach, the book revisits certain concepts such as exclusion, heritage, or distance, in order to understand spatialities beyond the oppositions of fixity/mobility, private/public, or here/elsewhere. The book sheds light on the capacities for resistance of mobile persons in Singapore, Dakar, Bangkok, Amman, Paris, New York, or Mexico by studying the power relationships that are established in situations of mobility. By deciphering the values that characterize regimes of (im)mobility, the contributors stress the normative injunctions of public policies and social practices.
The originality of the work lies in capturing the deployment of alternative spatialities and underlining how they are reshaped between sedentary and mobility regimes. It highlights the importance of fully associating mobility with its characteristics of ephemerality and fluidity, in our theorizations and understandings of spatialities. By taking a post-structuralist posture, the book makes it possible to establish a logic of 'and' to design a 'between' of things, and to reverse ontology. This allows the temporary and the connected to be rehabilitated, beyond distance, in our practical knowledge of spatialities and territorialities. As such, the volume will be of interest to scholars of geography, sociology, anthropology, and urban studies with interests in mobility, migration and relational thought.
