Description

Mobility is a basic principle of modernity besides others like individuality, rationality, equality and globality.

Taking its cue from this concept, this book presents a movement that begins with the macro-social transformations linked to mobility and ends with empirical discussions on the new forms of mobility and their implications for everyday life. The book opens with a study of the social changes unique to the second age of modernity, with contributions from Ulrich Beck, John Urry, Wolfgang Bonss and Sven Kesselring.

It continues with a discussion of the implications of these changes for sociological research.

Authors such as Vincent Kaufmann, Weert Canzler, Norbert Schneider, Beate Collet, Ruth Limmer and Gerlinde Vogl focus on a series of field examinations, both qualitative and quantitative, of emerging mobilities.

The book is a foray into the exciting new field of interdisciplinary mobility research informed by theoretical reflection and empirical investigation.
