With this book the international academic discourse on mobility is
taken a step further, through the intertwined perspectives of
different social sciences, engineering and the humanities. The
Ethics of Mobilities departs from the recent interest in social
surveillance, raised by the use of technology for the surveillance
and control of mobility as well as for transport. It widens this
theme to encompass a broad scale of issues, ranging from freedom
and escape to social exclusion and control, thus raising important
questions of ethics, identity and religion; questions that are
dealt with by a diverse, yet structured range of chapters, arranged
around the themes of ethics and religion, and freedom and control.
Through their variety and diversity of perspectives, the chapters
of this book offer a substantial interdisciplinary contribution to
the socially and environmentally relevant discussion about what a
technically and economically accelerating mobility does to life and
how it might be transformed to sustain a more life-enhancing
future. Ethics of Mobilities will excite not only international
interest, but will also appeal to scholars across a wide range of
disciplines, in fields as diverse as theology and engineering.
