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. Yet, the increasing importance
of mobilities in all parts of the social does not only happen as
observable practices in the material world but also takes place
against the background of changing discourses, scientific theories
and conceptualisations and knowledge. Within the formation of these
mobilities discourses, the social sciences constitute a relevant
actor. 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?
