New Mobilities Regimes analyses how global mobilities are changing
the world of today and the role of political and economic power.
Bringing together essays by leading scholars and social scientists,
including Mimi Sheller and BA1/4lent Diken with the work of
well-known artists and art theorists such as Jordan Crandall,
Ursula Bieman, GA1/4lsA1/4n Karamustafa and Dan Perjovschi this
book is a unique document of the cross-disciplinary mobility and
power discourse. The specific design, integrating the text and art
elements to create a singular dialogue makes for an exciting
intellectual and aesthetic experience. Illustrated by a range of
studies which examine the regulation and structure of mobility,
such as the daily routines of teleworkers, Ukrainian cleaners in
Western Europe, the mobility policies of global corporations, and
the impact of bicycle policies on public space, New Mobilities
Regimes emphasizes the routes and crossroads of migration flows as
well as at the interaction of mobility and new spatial concepts.
The contributors are concerned with both the positive outcomes and
the disappointments of the global mobilizations in modern lives.
This book is ground-breaking in that it calls for the reassessment
of the figurative arts in providing independent and insightful
knowledge-generating research on the nature of mobility and
highlights the new appreciation of visual representations in
sociology, cultural geography and anthropology.
