The American Roadside in Émigré Literature, Film, and Photography: 1955–1985 traces the origin of a postmodern iconography of mobile consumption equating roadside America with an authentic experience of the United States through the postwar road narrative, a narrative which, Elsa Court argues, has been shaped by and through white male émigré narratives of the American road, in both literature and visual culture. While stressing that these narratives are limited in their understanding of the processes of exclusion and unequal flux in experiences of modern automobility, the book works through four case studies in the American works of European-born authors Vladimir Nabokov, Robert Frank, Alfred Hitchcock, and Wim Wenders to unveil an early phenomenology of the postwar American highway, one that anticipates the works of late-twentieth-century spatial theorists Jean Baudrillard, Michel Foucault, and Marc Augé and sketches a postmodern aesthetic of western mobility and consumptionthat has become synonymous with contemporary America.

This book uses diaries written by ordinary British people over the past two centuries to examine and explain the nature and extent of everyday mobilities, such as travel to school, to work, to shop or to visit friends, and to explore the meanings attached to these mobilities. After a critical evaluation of diary writing, the ways in which mobility changed over time, interacted with new forms of transport technology, and varied from place to place are examined. Further chapters focus on the roles of family and life course, gender, income and class, and journey purpose in shaping mobilities, including immobility. It is argued that easy and frequent everyday mobilities were experienced by most of the diarists studied, that travellers could exercise their own agency to adapt easily to new forms of transport technology, but that factors such as gender, class, and location also created significant mobility inequalities.

Narrating a New Mobility Landscape in the Modern American Road Story, 1893–1921

This book examines travel narratives as a medium used by the American public to imagine and negotiate new ways to live in, move through, and share national space. Setting an array of archival material, including congressional deliberations, into analytical conversation with road stories by Walt Whitman, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Upton Sinclair, Emily Post, Zitkala-Ša, Henry Ford and many others, this book reframes our understanding of the origins of American automobility. The evidence gathered here sheds light on the processes by which the defining social infrastructure of the twentieth century came to be enacted, and also exposes the fraught debates and abiding misgivings that continue to roil infrastructure planning today. The insights captured in this study purposefully deepen our attention to questions of land use and collective responsibility at a moment when the ecological and social-justice consequences of American automobility must be thoroughly re-evaluated so that more conscientious mobility futures may be developed.

This book is a rip-roaring manifesto that re-claims ways to think about and do ‘leadership’. Colliding mobilities, neuro-queering, the arts and culture, critical leadership studies, social justice, creative pedagogy, futurity and Daoist cosmology for the first time, the book proposes ‘neuro-futurism’ as a beyond-colonial, heuristic change-making tool-kit for individuals and institutions. Celebrating the Dangerous, Demeaning and Dirty labour of Deviant/Defiant culture-workers often side-lined in (leadership) scholarship across 26 break-neck chapters and 39 images, this book challenges white-supremacist-cis-het-neuro-normative-capitalist-patriarchal forms of power and knowledge. Punchy, punching up and pulling no punches, it is a call to arms, feet, sole-soul, to co-create tables/houses/worlds that profit (neuro-)divergent people, planet, poetry and play. The deadline is 2050, so we’re running out of time. Are you ready for an extra-ordinary adventure?

This open access book contributes to the mobility humanities from the perspective of postcolonial literary mobilities and aims at enhancing dialogue between mobilities research and postcolonial literary studies. The study produces new perspectives on Afroeuropean mobilities in Francophone African and Afrodiasporic literatures from the mid-twentieth century to the present, covering a wide set of texts across literary genres. Focusing on representations of educational travel, tourism, diasporic returns, work-related mobilities, and clandestine migratory journeys, Toivanen examines portrayals of mobility practices and modes of transport to map out the meanings of embodied (im)mobilities in the Afroeuropean context. In addition to thematic analysis, the volume also explores the manifestations of mobility in literary form.

This book analyzes contemporary Anglophone road narratives from a transcultural perspective. By bringing together texts set in Australia, Africa, Canada, Europe, Aotearoa/New Zealand, India, and the US, it grapples with the road narrative as a global genre as opposed to a traditionally American one. In so doing, it conceptualizes the genre in a deterritorialized manner and highlights engagement with transcultural phenomena through ten close readings. Building on literary mobility studies, the book interrogates the poetics and politics of automobility, as well as the affordances and limits of this form of mobility. It also contributes to larger debates concerning the role of technologies and infrastructures under global modernity.
