Mobilities in Remote Places explores the meanings, challenges, and
opportunities of remoteness as practiced and experienced by those
who live and work in some of the world’s most remote communities.
As mobilities around the world proliferate in countless forms, the
meanings of remoteness undergo significant change. Places once
considered impossibly distant have appeared to become closer, more
accessible, and less distinct from global centers of geopolitical
power. But instead of disappearing altogether, configurations of
remoteness evolve, manifesting themselves through new
possibilities, new challenges, and new insecurities. Drawing from a
variety of case studies from around the globe, the contributors of
the book examine remoteness as an outcome of evolving mobility
constellations. Rather than defining remoteness as an absolute or
objective time–distance condition, the book shows how remoteness
is a practice, experience, and representation that is situated,
relational, and emergent. This collection of original and
thought-provoking chapters will be of interest to students and
researchers in the humanities and social sciences with an interest
in mobilities, place, and human geography.
