Bøger i Changing Mobilities serien

Mobilities in Remote Places explores the meanings, challenges, and opportunities of remoteness as practiced and experienced by those who live and work in some of the world's most remote communities.As mobilities around the world proliferate in countless forms, the meanings of remoteness undergo significant change. Places once considered impossibly distant have appeared to become closer, more accessible, and less distinct from global centers of geopolitical power. But instead of disappearing altogether, configurations of remoteness evolve, manifesting themselves through new possibilities, new challenges, and new insecurities. Drawing from a variety of case studies from around the globe, the contributors of the book examine remoteness as an outcome of evolving mobility constellations. Rather than defining remoteness as an absolute or objective time-distance condition, the book shows how remoteness is a practice, experience, and representation that is situated, relational, and emergent.This collection of original and thought-provoking chapters will be of interest to students and researchers in the humanities and social sciences with an interest in mobilities, place, and human geography.

This edited collection explores the intersection of mobility, mobile communication, and locative media.

Mobility scholars are in dialogue with mobile communication and locative media scholars.

Drawing on ethnographic studies of everyday practices of mobile living and working in the context of collaborative innovation in mobile and ubiquitous computing, this book provides new empirical, conceptual and practical purchase on one of the most challenging aspects of the contemporary world: changing and complexly interdependent mobilities of people, objects, information and ideas.
