The way things flow: exploring the movement of bodies, data and
goods Mobility shapes society in countless ways. Looking at society
from the perspective of mobility reveals that its key moments of
development coincide with the removal of obstacles to human
flow--in the physical movement of people, goods, ideas, and spoken
and written language. This book explores mobility in various
essayistic modes, from visual essays to scientific essay to broad
cultural speculations. Mobility Society addresses, among other
topics, energy politics and oil's grip on everyday life; urban
transportation policy; the restrictions placed upon differently
abled bodies; patterns of data flow; human mobility and Blackness;
the politics of speed; concepts of "freedom" in relation to
mobility; the appearance and experience of permanence in
architectural and other objects; geological movement; and the
politics of mobile phones. The design of the book encourages the
reader to discover and explore unsuspected relations between
mobilities and aspects of our evolving society.
