How should we understand the personal and social impacts of
complex mobility systems? Can lifestyles based around intensive
travel, transport and tourism be maintained in the 21st century?
What possibility post-carbon lifestyles?
In this provocative study of "life on the move," Anthony Elliott
and John Urry explore how complex mobility systems are transforming
everyday, ordinary lives. The authors develop their arguments
through an analysis of various sectors of mobile lives: networks,
new digital technologies, consumerism, the lifestyles of ?globals?,
and intimate relationships at-a-distance. Elliott and Urry
introduce a range of new concepts ? miniaturized mobilities, affect
storage, network capital, meetingness, neighbourhood lives,
portable personhood, ambient place, globals ? to capture the
specific ways in which mobility systems intersect with mobile
lives.
This book represents a novel approach in "post-carbon" social
theory. It will be essential reading for advanced undergraduate
students, postgraduates and teachers in sociology, social theory,
politics, geography, international relations, cultural studies, and
economics and business studies.
