This two-volume collection significantly advances the study of
mobilities, understood as the movement of ideas, objects, people
and texts in past and present societies as well as in different
geographical contexts. Through a series of short chapters, mobility
is employed as an elastic, inclusive and multifaceted concept
across various disciplines to shed light on a geographically and
chronologically broad range of issues and case studies. In doing
so, the concept of mobility is positioned as a powerful catalyst
for historical change and as a fruitful approach to research in the
humanities and social sciences. Both volumes are edited and written
by members of the Centre for Advanced Studies in Mobility and the
Humanities (MoHu) at the Department of Historical and Geographical
Sciences and The Ancient World (DiSSGeA) of the University of
Padua, Italy. The structure of the books mirrors the thematic
research clusters of the Centre: Theories and Methods, Ideas,
Objects, People and Texts. Afterwords from leading scholars from
other institutions synthesise and reflect upon the findings of each
section. This innovative two-volume set makes a compelling case for
the use of mobility studies as a research framework in the
humanities and social sciences. As such, it will be of interest to
students and researchers in various disciplines.
Volume 2: Objects, People and Texts explores the movement of
individuals and peoples and the circulation of material objects and
books and texts. Through a series of short chapters, mobility is

chronologically broad range of issues and case studies. In doing
so, the concept of mobility is positioned as a powerful catalyst
for historical change and as a fruitful approach to research in the
humanities and social sciences. Like its sister volume, this volume
is edited and written by members of the Centre for Advanced Studies
in Mobility and the Humanities (MoHu) at the Department of
Historical and Geographical Sciences and The Ancient World
(DiSSGeA) of the University of Padua, Italy. The structure of the

clusters of the Centre. Afterwords from leading scholars from other
institutions synthesise and reflect upon the findings of each

Ideas, makes a compelling case for the use of mobility studies as a
research framework in the humanities and social sciences. As such,
it will be of interest to students and researchers in various
disciplines.
Volume 1: Theories, Methods and Ideas explores the mobility of
ideas through time and space and how interdisciplinary theories and
methodological approaches used in mobilities studies can be
profitably utilised within the humanities and social sciences.
