Being mobile in today's world is influenced by many aspects
including transnational ties, increased ease of access to
transport, growing accessibility to technology, knowledge and
information and changing socio-cultural outlooks and values. These
factors can all engender a (re)formation of our everyday life and
moving - as and for lifestyle - has, in many ways, become both
easier and much more complex. This book highlights the crossroads
between concepts of lifestyle and the growing body of work on
'mobilities'. The study of lifestyle offers a lens through which to
study the kinds of moorings, dwellings, repetitions and routines
around which mobilities become socially, culturally and politically
meaningful. Bringing together scholars from geography, sociology,
tourism, history and beyond, the authors illustrate the breadth and
richness of mobilities research through the concept of lifestyle.
Organised into four sections, the book begins by dealing with
aspects of bodily performance through lifestyle mobility. Section
two then looks at how we can use mobile methods within social
research, whilst section three explores issues surrounding ideas of
mobility, immobility and belonging. Finally, section four draws
together a number of chapters that focus on the complexities of
identity within mobility. Often drawing on ethnographic research,
contributors all share one common feature: they are at the
forefront of research into lifestyle mobilities.
