Increasingly, everyday living and practices depend on how mobility
(and immobility) is articulated through the ever-present influence
of a range of physical and virtual infrastructures. This book
focuses in particular on the 'political' dimension of mobility and
immobility, which plays a key role in establishing patterns of
proximity in real and virtual co-presence. Proximity is seen as the
result of choices, negotiations and practices carried out in
different settings. Drawing from different literature streams
(Sociology, Organization Studies and Science and Technology
Studies), this book analyses patterns of mobility in relation to
new possibilities of organizing space, time, and proximity to
others. Different phenomena - from memorial sites to migration,
from urban mobility to mobile work - are analysed, illustrating
different types of proximity through mobility and immobility. In
doing so, this book offers a cross-cultural and innovative
theoretical framing of issues linked to mobility, through the link
with immobility and proximity.
