Elite Mobilities: Changing Mobilities
Editat de Thomas Birtchnell, Javier Caletríoen Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 mai 2017
This groundbreaking collection sets out to challenge this perception. Through the careful examination of the movements of the one per cent through the everyday spaces of the ninety-nine per cent, Elite Mobilities investigates the shared zones elites inhabit alongside the commons: the executive lounge in the airport, the penthouse in the hotel, or the gated community next to the slum. Bringing together the pioneer scholars in critical sociology today, this collection explores how social scientists can research, map, and ‘track’ the flows and residues of objects, wealth and power surrounding the hypermobile.
Elite Mobilities sets a new benchmark in social science efforts to research the powerful and the privileged. It will appeal to students and scholars interested in mobilities, transport, tourism, social stratification, class, inequality, consumption, and global environmental change.

Descriere
Elites have so far proven to be an elusive research subject for the social sciences, but the latest techniques in mobile methods offer a window on their movements. This vanguard collection sets a new benchmark in social science efforts to research the powerful and the privileged, through the careful examination of the movements of the one percent through the everyday spaces of the ninety-nine percent. From luxury haciendas to private biz-jets Elite Mobilities is a fresh approach to a classic topic, bringing together the pioneer scholars in critical sociology today.
