Keywords of Mobility
Critical Engagements
AvNoel B. Salazar,Kiran Jayaram
Inbunden, Engelska, 2016
1 880 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Scholars from various disciplines have used key concepts to grasp mobilities, but as of yet, a working vocabulary of these has not been fully developed. Given this context and inspired in part by Raymond Williams’ Keywords (1976), this edited volume presents contributions that critically analyze mobility-related keywords: capital, cosmopolitanism, freedom, gender, immobility, infrastructure, motility, and regime. Each chapter provides an historical context, a critical analysis of how the keyword has been used in relation to mobility, and a conclusion that proposes future usage or research.
Methodologies of Mobility
Ethnography and Experiment
AvAlice Elliot,Roger Norumm. fl.
Inbunden, Engelska, 2017
1 861 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Research into mobility is an exciting challenge for the social sciences that raises novel social, cultural, spatial and ethical questions. At the heart of these empirical and theoretical complexities lies the question of methodology: how can we best capture and understand a planet in flux? Methodologies of Mobility speaks beyond disciplinary boundaries to the methodological challenges and possibilities of engaging with a world on the move. With scholars continuing to face different forms and scales of mobility, this volume strategically traces innovative ways of designing, applying and reflecting on both established and cutting-edge methodologies of mobility.

Intimate Mobilities
Sexual Economies, Marriage and Migration in a Disparate World
AvChristian Groes,Nadine T. Fernandez
Inbunden, Engelska, 2018
1 880 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
As globalization and transnational encounters intensify, people’s mobility is increasingly conditioned by intimacy, ranging from love, desire, and sexual liaisons to broader family, kinship, and conjugal matters. This book explores the entanglement of mobility and intimacy in various configurations throughout the world. It argues that rather than being distinct and unrelated phenomena, intimacy-related mobilities constitute variations of cross-border movements shaped by and deeply entwined with issues of gender, kinship, race, and sexuality, as well as local and global powers and border restrictions in a disparate world.
Momentous Mobilities
Anthropological Musings on the Meanings of Travel
AvNoel B. Salazar
Inbunden, Engelska, 2018
1 880 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Grounded in scholarly analysis and personal reflection, and drawing on a multi-sited and multi-method research design, Momentous Mobilities disentangles the meanings attached to temporary travels and stays abroad and offers empirical evidence as well as novel theoretical arguments to develop an anthropology of mobility. Both focusing specifically on how various societies and cultures imagine and value boundary-crossing mobilities “elsewhere” and drawing heavily on his own European lifeworld, the author examines momentous travels abroad in the context of education, work, and spiritual quests and the search for a better quality of life.

(Im)mobilities in Health Service Delivery and Access
AvCecilia Vindrola-Padros,Ginger A. Johnsonm. fl.
Inbunden, Engelska, 2018

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
How does the need to obtain and deliver health services engender particular (im)mobility forms? And how is mobility experienced and imagined when it is required for healthcare access or delivery? Guided by these questions, Healthcare in Motion explores the dynamic interrelationship between mobility and healthcare, drawing on case studies from across the world and shedding light on the day-to-day practices of patients and professionals.

Bourdieu and Social Space
Mobilities, Trajectories, Emplacements
AvDeborah Reed-Danahay
Inbunden, Engelska, 2019
1 665 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
French sociologist and anthropologist Pierre Bourdieu’s relevance for studies of spatiality and mobility has received less attention than other aspects of his work. Here, Deborah Reed-Danahay argues that the concept of social space, central to Bourdieu’s ideas, addresses the structured inequalities that prevail in spatial choices and practices. She provides an ethnographically informed interpretation of social space that demonstrates its potential for new directions in studies of mobility, immobility, and emplacement. This book traces the links between habitus and social space across the span of Bourdieu’s writings, and places his work in dialogue with historical and contemporary approaches to mobility.
Finding Ways Through Eurospace
West African Movers Re-viewing Europe from the Inside
AvJoris Schapendonk
Inbunden, Engelska, 2020
1 880 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Studying the im/mobility trajectories of West Africans in the EU, this book presents a new approach to West African migrants in Europe. It argues that a migration lens is not necessarily the best starting point to understand these dynamic im/mobility processes. Rather than seeing migrancy as the primary marker of their lives, this book positions these trajectories in a wider social script of mobility and discusses how African migrants are confronted with rigid mobility regimes, but also how they manage to transgress and circumvent them.
Pacing Mobilities
Timing, Intensity, Tempo and Duration of Human Movements
AvVered Amit,Noel B. Salazar
Inbunden, Engelska, 2020
1 648 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Turning the attention to the temporal as well as the more familiar spatial dimensions of mobility, this volume focuses on the momentum for and temporal composition of mobility, the rate at which people enact or deploy their movements as well as the conditions under which these moves are being marshalled, represented and contested. This is an anthropological exploration of temporality as a form of action, a process of actively modulating or responding to how people are moving rather than the more usual focus in mobility studies on where they are heading.

Liminal Moves
Traveling Along Places, Meanings and Times
AvFlavia Cangià
Inbunden, Engelska, 2021
1 648 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Moving, slowing down, or watching others moving allows people to cross physical, symbolic, and temporal boundaries. Exploring the imaginative power of liminality that makes this possible, Liminal Moves explores the (im)mobilities of three groups of people - street monkey performers in Japan, adolescents writing about migrants in Italy, and men accompanying their partners in Switzerland for work. The book explores how, for these ‘travelers’, the interplay of mobility and immobility creates a ‘liminal hotspot’: a condition of suspension and ambivalence as they find themselves caught between places, meanings and times.
We are All Africans Here
Race, Mobilities and West Africans in Europe
AvKristín Loftsdóttir
Inbunden, Engelska, 2021
1 665 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Europe is often described as "flooded" by migrants or by Muslim "others," with Western African men especially portrayed as a security risk. At the same time the intensified mobility of privileged people in the Global North is celebrated as creating an increasingly cosmopolitan world. This book looks critically at racialization of mobility in Europe, anchoring the discussion in the aspiration of precarious migrants from Niger in Belgium and Italy. The book contextualizes their experiences within the ongoing securitization of mobility in their home country and the persistent denial of racism and colonialism that seeks to portray the innocence of Europe.
Migration in the Making of the Gulf Space
Social, Political, and Cultural Dimensions
AvAntia Mato Bouzas,Lorenzo Casini
Inbunden, Engelska, 2022
1 665 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Combining visual and literary analyses and original ethnographic studies as part of a more general political reflection, Migration in the Making of Gulf Space examines the role of migrants and non-citizens in the processes of settling in the Arab States of the Gulf region. The contributions underscore the aspirational character of the Gulf as a place where migrant recognition can be attained while also reflecting on practices of exclusion. The book is the result of an interdisciplinary dialogue among scholars and includes an original contribution by the acclaimed author of the novel Temporary People, Deepak Unnikrishnan.
Tangled Mobilities
Places, Affects, and Personhood across Social Spheres in Asian Migration
AvAsuncion Fresnoza-Flot,Gracia Liu-Farrer

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
The emotional, social, and economic challenges faced by migrants and their families are interconnected through complex decisions related to mobility. Tangled Mobilities examines the different crisscrossing and intersecting mobilities in the lives of Asian migrants, their family members across Asia and Europe, and the social spaces connecting these regions. In exploring how the migratory process unfolds in different stages of migrants’ lives, the chapters in this collected volume broaden perspectives on mobility, offering insight into the way places, affects, and personhood are shaped by and connected to it.

Finding Home in Europe
Chronicles of Global Migrants
AvLuis Eduardo Pérez Murcia,Sara Bonfanti
Inbunden, Engelska, 2023
1 861 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Bringing together the voices of nine individuals from an archive of over two hundred in-depth interviews with transnational migrants and refugees across five European countries, Finding Home in Europe critically engages with how home is experienced by those who move among changing social and cultural constraints. Highly conscious of the political strength of their voices, migrants and asylum seekers speak out loud to the authors, as this volume seeks to challenge the narrative that these people are ‘out of place’ or cannot claim their right to belong.

(Un)Settling Place
Diverse and Divergent Place-Making of People on the Move
AvNanneke Winters,Heike Drotbohmm. fl.
Inbunden, Engelska, 2024
1 880 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
People who are “on the move,” particularly migrants and the displaced, often inhabit places that are considered temporary, peripheral, and remote. (Un)Settling Place recentralizes these “out-of-the-way” places as key sites in the shaping of people’s mobility and identities. Ranging from the surveillance and care that migrants experience to the re-creation of social ties and the re-claiming of space, this collection volume seeks to show how a critical approach to in-between place-making can challenge the idea of place as fixed, singular, or one-directional, offering new ways of understanding migrant trajectories.
Transnationalities of Migrant Moral Economies in a Transforming World
AvVytis Čiubrinskas,Nina Glick Schiller
Inbunden, Engelska, 2025
1 880 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
People who are “on the move” often occupy a state of betwixt and between, in which moral and economic value is subject to change. This enlightening and geographically wide-ranging reassessment of migrant moral economies, Transnationalities of Migrant Moral Economies in a Transforming World delineates migrants’ reciprocity, responsibility and dignity, as they respond to and contest unequal political and economic power. In doing so, this volume examines the transformative potential of transnational mobility to create social networks and to sustain reciprocity capable of resisting contemporary authoritarian efforts to sacralize borders and dehumanize migrants.

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Often home to rural, indigenous communities, mountain regions are rapidly becoming preserves for the social elite, and altogether unsustainable within the climate crisis. Bringing together scholars from geography, sociology, anthropology, history, and urban studies, Mountainscapes seeks to re-examine the dynamics of mountain mobilities and better understand how tourism, migration, and pastoralism shape mountain communities. Ranging from the Swiss Alps to the Chilean Andes, this volume illuminates how the processes of place-making and non-belonging specifically manifest and evolve within our ever-changing mountain regions.
