The Mobilities Paradigm: Discourses and Ideologies (Transport and Society) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Over the last two decades, the conceptualisation and empirical analysis of mobilities of people, objects and symbols has become an important strand of social science. Focussing on mobility as an object of knowledge from a Foucauldian perspective, rather than a given entity within the historical contingency of movement, this book asks: How do discourses and ideologies structure the normative substance, social meanings, and the lived reality of mobilities? What are the real world effects of/on the will and the ability to be mobile? And, how do these lived realities, in turn, invigorate or interfere with certain discourses and ideologies of mobility?
