All too often, mobility is evoked as a preferred indicator in
explanations of space-time compression and its impact. However, in
failing to clearly distinguish speed potentials from their use,
such analyses veer towards technological determinism, or else
towards the normative domain. In order to avoid this trap, the
motivations underlying mobility must be explored. This
groundbreaking examination is carried out through a discussion of
the following general question: to what extent can the speed
potentials generated by technological transportation systems be
considered as vectors of social change? It also provides an
opportunity to study in greater depth the little-known field of the
sociology of mobility. Following an examination of the existing
controversies surrounding social fluidification, it proposes to
rethink mobility using the new concept of motility. Current
contributions to and research results in this new area are included
and the book indicates possible new research directions, opening
the way to a new form of general sociology.
