The Cultures of Alternative Mobilities presents a series of
ethnographic studies, focusing on the local cultures of mobilities
and immobilities, emphasizing the everyday sense of contingency and
heterogeneity that accompanies them. Compensating for the excess of
theory and criticism based on the notion of 'hypermobilities', this
book sheds light on the nuanced differences and idiosyncrasies of
mobility, with a view to rediscovering meanings and lifestyles
marked by movement and immobility. Original, empirical and global
case studies are presented by an international team of scholars,
exploring the complex, negotiated and contingent nature of the
social worlds of movement. By avoiding sweeping generalizations on
the deeply connected and readily mobile nature of society as a
whole, this volume sheds light on the diversity of mobility modes
in an accessible and interdisciplinary form that will be of key
interest, to sociologists, geographers and scholars of human
mobility, communication and culture.
