Mobilities: New Perspectives on Transport and Society: Transport and Society

Autor John Urry Editat de Margaret Grieco
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 sep 2016
Bringing together the leading authors currently working at the intersection of social science and transport science, this volume provides a companion to the well-established and extensive international Transport and Society series. Each chapter, and the volume as a whole, offers closer and richer consideration of the issues, practices and structures of multiple mobilities which shape the current world but which have typically been overlooked or minimised. What this approach seeks to do is not only draw attention to many new areas of research and investigation relating to mobile lives, but also to point to new theories and methods by which such lives have to be researched and examined. Such new theories and methods are relevant both to rethinking 'transport' studies as such but are also recasting 'societal' studies as 'transport' so that it comes out of the ghetto and enters mainstream social science.

Recenzii

A Yankee Book Peddler UK Core Title for 2012
"This valuable collection of contributions, by distinguished scholars in a variety of disciplines, offers a provocative look at the pros and cons of modern mobility. Special attention is given to some often-neglected consequences of the status quo for the more vulnerable members of society, making it an especially important addition to public policy discourse and scholarship." - Patricia Mokhtarian, University of California, Davis, USA
"Mobilities: New Perspectives on Transport and Society is a big leap forward for research beyond the transport/mobilities divide. It pulls together exiting debates and controversies amongst transport researchers and social scientists. It doesn't hide conflicts, disagreements and problems, but indicates future directions for sustainable mobility and transport. Urry, Grieco and the contributors are driving forward new thinking on transport and mobility. This is rich thinking and science. More of this quality is needed!" - Sven Kesselring, TU Munich, Germany
"The editors have brought together authors with very different methodological strengths and orientations and the diversity of research approaches discussed is impressive from large quantitative survey analyses, through more qualitative observational, ethnographic and interview techniques." - International Planning Studies, Niamh Moore-Cherry, University College Dublin

It seeks to not only draw attention to many new areas of research and investigation relating to mobile lives, but also to point to new theories and methods by which such lives have to be researched and examined, theories and methods which contributors here are themselves developing and enhancing.
