Description

Exploring the complexities of mobility, this book questions prevailing views, highlights the risks and implications of mobility-centred policies, and argues for nuanced approaches to addressing mobility-related societal challenges. In its seven chapters, the book examines the paradoxical nature of mobility, questions the dominance of competitive individualism, scrutinises the meritocratic principles that shape our society and mobility patterns, and ventures a glimpse into a speculative future of cyborg existence. Through metaphors from various fields and insurgent critical analyses, it underscores the need for a nuanced approach to issues of mobility and exposes the lack of sophistication in the prevailing pro-growth and innovation-driven transport developments. With a strong focus on social justice, at its core, the book calls for a reassessment of mobility-centred policies and practices, highlighting the terrible risks – but also the remarkable benefits – that mobility represents. Diverse and interdisciplinary in nature, the critical approach taken in this means it will appeal not only to scholars in the mobility studies field but also to social scientists and policy makers more broadly concerned with the impact and dynamics of mobility on society.
