This agenda-setting collection critically reflects upon a decade of
contributions to the social scientific 'mobilities turn' in order
to propose new trajectories for the future of this
interdisciplinary research field. The chapters are all exemplars of
how the past decade of research has opened up new insights into the
place of mobilities in societies. They also highlight how attempts
to look forward towards new conversations, understandings, and
interventions in a mobile world will emerge from the
transformations invoked by this field of research. Authors
foreground issues of power, interdisciplinarity, transformative
technologies, fragmented discourses and changing social processes
whilst addressing automobility, aeromobility, tourism,
communications technologies, urban infrastructures, migration, and
emergencies. As a whole, the collection raises important questions
about not only how understandings of mobilities are changing, but
also how the field of mobilities research is itself on the move.
The evocative empirical cases and provocative arguments in this
book thus highlight the necessity of new concepts, conversations,
methods, empirical studies and interventions to address
transformations in both the complex mobilities of social worlds and
what is examined or taken for granted in mobilities research
itself. This book was originally published as a special issue of
Mobilities.
