Although Foucault's work has been employed and embraced
enthusiastically by some 'mobilities' scholars, discussion across
these two traditions to date has mostly been partial and
unsystematic. Yet Foucault's work can make critical contributions,
for example, to thinking about governing mobilities in contemporary
societies, while conversely mobilities research opens up new
perspectives on Foucault. In combination these bodies of work can
illuminate issues as diverse as: the greater interdependencies
between mobility systems (e.g. transport, tourism, trade, internet
use); the proliferation of the undesired mobilities of viruses, of
natural phenomena like fire, of (what is taken to be) criminality
and other seemingly inevitable by-products of globalisation; the
perceived threats to desirable forms of mobility as constituted by
climate change, peak oil and energy security, and terrorism and
warfare; and the increased popularity of logics of governance
premised on choice, responsibilisation and the (re)coding of
phenomena in economic terms under neo-liberalism. Against this
background, this book brings together the first major collection of
contributions from across the social sciences with a shared
interest in both mobilities and Foucauldian thinking. This book was
published as a special issue of Mobilities.
