Beskrivning
Exploring the growing field of mobilities research, this Handbook focuses on the flows and movements of people, artefacts, capital, information and signs on different social and geographical scales. It examines the systems and practices of mobilities within societies, politics, cultures and economies from different theoretical, epistemological and methodological perspectives.Reflecting the variety and diversity of research methods and applications, contributions from top scholars highlight the multiple dimensions of mobilities, from transport to tourism, cargo to information, and across physical, virtual and imaginative mobilities. Chapters analyse mobilities from different angles and scales, emphasising interdisciplinarity by looking at how researchers engage with mobile methods. An inspirational toolbox of research methods and applications for mobilities, sociology and human geography scholars, this Handbook provides both qualitative and quantitative insights to the topic. It will be of interest to policymakers and urban planners looking for a better understanding of the impact and importance of mobilities in contemporary societies. Contributors include: K. Barry, N.M.

'Now, more than ever, researchers need multi-scalar tools to navigate complex and borderless research problems. This Handbook offers a multi-layered array of research methods that identify, experiment with and analyse mobile data and their infrastructures. Chapters detail practical methods by researchers who have applied them, while other chapters call for the design of methods to investigate new mobilities problems. Whether working with data hubs requiring methodological hierarchies or working with digitalized data generated in smart sensor technologies or working with spontaneous data co-created ''in the flow'' of fieldwork, researchers will find valuable resources and critical tools in this book.'--Martha Bell, Independent Sociologist with Media Associates, New Zealand'This is an exceptional contribution to the literature on mobilities that engages and goes beyond simply mobile methodologies to develop applied and critical insights. It is wide ranging in topics and includes authors of international repute. It is sure to be a must-read for students, academics and practitioners involved in future mobilities research.'--Kevin Hannam, City University of Macau, China'This is a sparkling collection of essays written by scholars - many of whom are leaders in the field - who are passionately committed to the way in which the new mobilities paradigm has fundamentally changed how we understand the contemporary world and the challenges it faces. Every chapter is a delight to read, with the inventiveness of the methods and applications surveyed spilling over into writing that is equally creative and inspired.'--Lynne Pearce, Lancaster University, UK
